You Are Enough!!!

Many times we go through life focusing on the accomplishments and achievements of those around us. We hone in on their success, not stopping to appreciate that which God has placed on the inside of us. But may I suggest to you that “You Are Enough!” You are just as gifted as the next individual and because God has created us, we have all been endowed with power after we’ve received His spirit. Power; God given ability that supersedes anything we’re able to do in our flesh, on our own.

 

 The fact that we tend to focus on others more than we rest assured in what God has given us, can be offensive. Offensive to whom, you might ask? Offensive to God! Because He is the one that instilled the God like capabilities within us, whenever we discredit ourselves; we’re really discrediting Him. We are all important, we all matter, we all have a purpose and that purpose is found in Christ! Isn’t it wonderful to know that what you admire in someone else, God has placed something unique within you as well? And what I love about God is that He’s really big on original and limited editions. He doesn’t make something more than once. All of us as humans are distinctive and there are no duplicates. Even with twins, none of them have the same DNA, God in His wisdom has given all of us a unique distinction that separates us from one another yet He knows all of us to the T! How about that? God is so in tune with who we are and who He has created us to be. In fact Luke 12:7 tells us that He even knows the number of hairs on our head. 

 

 I know as parents sometimes it’s easy for those who have twins to mix up their children in the beginning. It’s hard for them to distinguish who is who? But in God there’s never a mix up, He knows exactly who we are; better than we know ourselves. And so it is in the spirit, God has created us all with unique capabilities that will be a blessing to those around us. That’s why it’s important that you know,

 

 “You Are Enough”

 

“You Are Important” 

 

You have something to bring to the table. What God has placed on the inside of you is not only for those that He’s given you influence among, but it’s also for the up building of His kingdom. 

 

I mean, that’s what it’s all about right? Souls? God admonishes us in “Mathew 28:19 To Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.” This is why it’s so important that we know who we are, because the giftings and callings that God has placed on the inside of us can draw people to our Lord and savior. No one person can teach the entire world, but with the spirit of God on the inside of us; we are able to allow Him one individual at a time to complete the work that He started through us. Understand that you are not a loner, you are not gift less, you have a purpose and you matter! Contrary to popular belief, we all have something that we can share, whether young or old, rich or poor, white or black; we all have something that God in His wisdom filters through our minds to uplift His people and up build His kingdom. So the next time the enemy tells you that you don’t matter, you tell him, “I am on the mind of God.” 

 

The next time he attempts to confront you with thoughts of abandonment, you tell him that Matthew 28:20 says “Lo, God is with me always even until the ends of the earth. You are enough and you can do ALL things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you!
