The Spark Behind the Word ‘Enough’: When God Said I Was Already Whole

Enough - a word that holds quiet strength. It speaks of worthiness, sufficiency, and the profound truth that nothing more is needed to be valued.
Whole - a word that reminds us of completeness, that nothing is lacking, even when we feel shattered.

For a long time, I didn’t understand what it truly meant to be enough or whole. Learning to embrace these truths meant I had to love every part of me, even the hidden parts I was too ashamed to speak aloud. The thoughts I buried. The pain I silenced. The memories that made my stomach churn and left me feeling unworthy, invisible, or too much.

Without using the language, we often hear today words like trauma or brokenness I still carried those heavy beliefs. Deep down, I always felt something was missing. Subconsciously, I moved through life unaware that I didn’t see myself as whole, even though God had already declared that over me.

It was through scripture and my lived experiences with God that I came to understand I was created whole from the beginning. Not lacking. Not incomplete. Just... whole. So where in my story did, I start believing I wasn’t? For me, it started in my youth. In my teens. I didn’t know it then, but I began to absorb false narratives quiet lies that formed from comparison, rejection, and misunderstanding.

Even though I was always different, I found strength in that difference. I found peace in it. But I also discovered the deep influence of words on how they could shape or shatter a soul. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” a nice rhyme, but a lie from the pit of hell. Words do hurt. They leave marks we don’t always see... but we feel them every time we look in the mirror and repeat what someone else said about us.

That’s why I’ve reclaimed the power of the words I choose to speak to myself and the ones I allow to be spoken over me. That reclamation led me to this blog today. Because every word has a spark behind it. And that spark either ignites hope and movement, or it keeps us stuck in our pain, repeating cycles that were never meant to define us.

So, I ask you:
What’s the spark behind the word for you?
Is it helping you rise or keeping you bound?
It’s time to speak words that free, words that heal, words that restore.

Because you, too, are already enough. Already whole. Just as He created you to be.
