You are so not _____ enough

You are so not ___ enough

by Joel Howard

You are so not good enough

not strong, not powerful enough

not great, not popular enough

so not enough!

My adversary growls at me and inwardly

he is smiling as he lies between his ugly teeth,

"Loser, you're not enough!"

Like arrows thrown at me

piercing my heart until he

would all my goodness spill out of my reach

The adversary says to me that I am God's enemy

Estranged and far from family

That I am all alone!

"You are so not free"

he with chains entangles me

Would strangle me until I can't breathe

That confounded enemy!

So I stop and breathe

Feel God's love over me

So I stop to speak to the Creator of the life in me

Unlike Adam and Eve, I submit before I believe

Satan's careless deeds and temptations

I am in You enough
