Are you constantly comparing yourself to others? Failing at goals you’ve set? Feeling like you’re falling short in more ways than your “killing it”? Where in your life are you feeling like you’re not enough? Because right there is where Jesus wants to remind you, “You’re not enough, and that’s okay.”

Do you long for more followers on social media? Do you want to be an influencer? Does it annoy you when you see people who have a huge platform you don’t think they deserve? If Jesus walked the earth right now in 2021, do you think he’d be an influencer?
