I'm Not Good Enough!

I'm not good enough. I can not tell you how long I was stuck in this pit. Even though I was a Christian. Even though Christ lived in me. Even though God had forgiven all my sins. Even though I was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Even though my name was written in the Book of Life. Even though the word of God told me He had chosen and created me just for Him. Even though ...

Well, you get the picture don't you? It is clear as a bell. I was stuck. Stuck in insecurity. Stuck in a no good mentality. I was saved but my mind needed to get saved. Saved from the lies I chose to believe. Saved from the depressing, discouraging, deception of the devil. I did not know it then but the devil had so many strongholds set up in my mind. It is a wonder I was functioning. Have you ever been there? Barely functioning? Holding on by a thread and a thin one at that? All of that and I was a Christian!

These are the things Christians don't talk about. We tell our self:"If anyone knew this stuff, well they would run me out of the church and out of town too." So we crawl back into the pit and curl up. We miss all the goodness and grace of our God. We start to dry up inside. We hide from other people but most of all we hide from our self. We allow the devil to convince us God loves and cares for everybody. But not us. Not us because we are not good enough. So many people told us we were not good enough and besides they treated us like it too.

Friends, listen up!! You are good enough! God, the Creator of the universe, the One who gives you your next breath, He says you are! He is more than your mother or father. He is more than your spouse. He is more than the devil, whom He defeated more than 2,000 years ago. He is The Great I AM. If anyone knows the truth about you, it is God. It is high time to listen to "THE TRUTH", not the lies. Listen to the Ruler of the universe.     

It is time to apply His grace! It is waiting for you. Just go to Him, tell Him all your fears.Then by faith reach out, take His grace and apply it to yourself. It has been there all along waiting on you.  You are good enough!
