Good Enough
God wants us to live and enjoy life with Him. He knew we could never be good enough without help so He sent Jesus to do what we would never be able to do.
Therefore, since we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Rom. 5:1 Amplified
We don't have to put off coming to God until we get our act together or fix ourselves up. Jesus has already done the work of making us good enough.
God wants us to bring our messes to Him. He wants us just as we are. There will be no condemnation or ridicule or belittling from Him. God simply loves us. And it is in receiving His love (Jesus Christ) that we find ourselves to be good enough.
Jesus cleans up the mess we've made of our lives and removes all the dirt of our sin. He puts us on God's good side and befriends us before we even begin to see changes in our behavior. He also does so much more than that for us.
He meets our every need.
He heals our sicknesses.
He restores our broken heart.
He gives us His peace and joy to live in.
He protects us from danger.
He strengthens us for battle.
He never lets go or gives up on us.
He forgives us for everything wrong we have done and will do.
He loves us far more than we can understand.
Live today confident in the fact that Jesus has done all the work of making you good enough to live with God.
