Am I good enough?
This is a question people ask themselves all the time. Maybe not precisely those words, but some form of self-doubt and/or creeping insecurity nags at us from time to time. It's nearly inevitable.
The short answer is "yes." The shorter answer is "no."
No, you are not good enough, at least not on your own. The horrible reality is that so many are out there trying to make it on their own. It's tragic. And a lot of heart break and bad decisions play out as a result.
But yes, you are also good enough. Wait a sec here........ DIDN'T YOU JUST CONTRADICT YOURSELF?
It's true that on our own we are not good enough. But the whole point is that we don't have to be on our own. We weren't meant to be on our own. Life isn't supposed to be a lonely affair full of solo sunsets and one-sided conversations.
GOD made you for himself, and for others. With him you are more than enough, not because you are good enough but because he is above and beyond good enough.
When you are living your life with God in it, whether you're loading into an airplane and flying to another country, or walking next door to help a neighbor—God goes with you. He goes before you. He helps.
So go help somebody. Say something encouraging. Do something meaningful. Stop worrying about being good enough, and start doing something good.
