I Am Enough

I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]
Philippians 4:13 (Amplified Bible)

I never use to think I could write very well. My English teacher was not very impressed with me or my work. She picked on me at every moment. Eventually I lost interest in her lessons and just felt I wasn’t good enough.

I failed part of my English GCSE. This resulted in me having to retake my GCSE when I went to college to study my A Levels. As a result, the feeling of not being good enough to write carried through for the rest of my life. Even to the point when I started to host my own blog.

As you can probably imagine, this was not the only area where I felt I wasn’t enough. I felt inadequate in most aspects with what I have experienced in my life. Maybe you feel you have some areas in your life where you feel the same? Do you feel you are not strong enough? Or when it comes to raising children you don’t feel patient enough. Maybe you don’t feel you have enough experience to do your job.

When we struggle with these feelings of being inadequate and not enough, we need to remember we have someone with us. We have a God who lives within us who is able to help us perform whatever we need to do. Imagine what we can do once we let go of the lies that hold us back.

When we grasp hold of the truth we are more than enough because of Who is inside us, there will be no limits in achieving what God has called us to do. 5 years later I still host my blog and I know I am touching people with the words that I write.

Something to think about…

Why not have a go at personalising Philippians 4:13. I love the amplified version of this Bible reading as there is so much that can be personalised. Each time we change the word I to our own name, or the word me to you, it brings a new meaning. You can also highlight certain words to emphasise a little more. Why not try it for yourself.

Lynne, you can do all things [which He has called you to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers you [to fulfill His purpose—Lynne, you are self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; You are ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses you with inner strength and confident peace.]
