Enough and Okay

For the past number of months, two words keep returning to me as I dialogue with Jesus. I frequently am hearing "Who you are is enough and okay". This thought seems to come to me when I am praying in anxiety about something ... a meeting, an event, or anytime I feel I may be going into a situation where I would feel self-conscious, inadequate, and definitely not "enough" and "okay".

When I read 1 Corinthians 4:7ish, that promise is there. "Isn't everything you have and everything you are sheer gifts from God? So what's the point of all this comparing and competing? You already have all you need. You already have more access to God than you can handle."

Who I am is enough and okay. Who you are is enough and okay. God says so.
