Christ is Enough

A lot of times it feels like we just aren't enough. Pretty enough, smart enough, outgoing enough, capable enough. I could go on forever. I totally get it because I felt that way for a long time, too. Trying to keep up with everything and everyone, and feeling like you will never catch up. 

But recently I have realized that I actually am not enough... on my own, that is. My own strength fails. At times I lack the energy to accomplish something, and I'm really just not capable. The funny thing is, that is OKAY. That is more than okay because we aren't supposed to be enough on our own. If we were sufficient in all things, we would not have a need for a Savior. And that would not fit God's plan for His people. 

So instead of trying (and failing miserably) to be enough on my own, I've decided to let Christ be enough instead. The first time I heard the song "Christ is Enough" by Hillsong, it all made sense. 

Christ is enough for me

Christ is enough for me

Everything I need is in You

Everything I need

Everything. Literally every single thing I could ever need is found in Christ. Every bit of energy or focus that I don't have, He provides. My shortcomings are nothing compared to the One who has overcome the entire world. 1 John 5:4 says, "For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world–our faith." 

Yes, we are enough, but only by the grace of God, not by our own abilities. I don't know about you, but I take so much comfort in knowing my Savior makes me enough!
