When Good Enough Is Still God Enough

I was late. Not wildly late, just… not early enough for comfort.

I grabbed the first shirt that wasn't wrinkled, skipped breakfast, forgot my water bottle, and slid into the meeting just in time. Nothing had gone according to plan.

But halfway through the meeting, someone leaned over and said, "Thanks for what you said earlier. I really needed to hear it."

The thing is—I hadn't said anything profound. Just a simple comment. A small encouragement. A moment of honesty.

It hit me on the way back to my car:

It didn't have to be perfect to be meaningful.

I almost wrote the day off as "off." But God didn't.

He doesn't measure your worth by your flawless execution. He's not grading your week on efficiency. He's looking at your heart. Your presence. Your willingness to show up anyway.

And sometimes, good enough—with Jesus—becomes exactly what someone else needed.

So if this week has been messy… If you've been behind, off-rhythm, or not your "best self"—

You're still here. And that matters more than you know.

Much Love & Blessings,

Ramzi
