You Are Enough

It’s easy to get caught up in seeking validation. Whether it’s through relationships, social media, career success, or the approval of family and friends, we often feel like we need someone else to confirm our worth. I am here to tell you that you are enough!

When you start seeking validation from people, you unknowingly give them control over your self-worth. Their compliments make you feel high, but their silence makes you question yourself. It’s like chasing the wind. No matter how hard you try, you’ll never catch it. And let’s be real: people are fickle. One day they’re cheering for you, and the next, they forget you exist. If Jesus the Son of God was praised by the crowd one week and crucified the next, what makes us think people’s opinions about us will stay consistent? This is why your worth must come from God alone.

“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” — Galatians 1:10 (NIV)

As a single, this pressure can feel even stronger. Society tells you that love from another person is what makes you complete. You hear comments like, “When will you settle down?” or “Don’t you want someone to share life with?” And before you know it, you start questioning if you’re missing out or if something is wrong with you.

But here’s the truth: You don’t need anyone else’s approval to be enough, you already have God’s. Your value was never meant to be placed in people’s hands.

Jesus Himself was single, yet He lived the fullest, most purpose-driven life possible. He never chased human validation. Instead, He was secure in the love of the Father. And because of Christ, you are already fully known, fully loved, and fully accepted.

The world tells you that your worth is based on how many people admire you, but God says:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love.” (Jeremiah 31:3)

“You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14)

“The Lord delights in you.” (Isaiah 62:4)

If God, the Creator of the universe, delights in you, why waste time seeking approval from people who constantly change their opinions?

Your singleness is not a sign of lack, rather it’s a season of purpose. Instead of searching for validation, rest in the truth that God has already called you His. Live in that confidence. Walk in that security and know that you are already enough, just as you are.

You are not waiting to be loved, you are already loved beyond measure. Live in that truth today.

You are enough!
