I am not good enough. I will never be good enough. I could never be a Christian because I can not get my act together to qualify. If you ever find yourself thinking these thoughts, you are right about all except the last one. You, NOR I will never be adequate, but Jesus was enough on our behalf. Being good enough is not and never was up to us. WE are perfectly acceptable and accepted as we are because He was and is sufficient, and He completed us by imparting His righteousness to us as a gift that we receive by believing. We are justified by faith, not feats. I hope you rest easy tonight knowing you are enough, friend! You are loved!

Tonight, Dare To Believe
Dare to believe tonight when it feels like everything is falling apart; Jesus is putting it together. When the whole world appears to be walking out, Jesus is walking in. The moment a sense of being lost enters in, dare to remember you have been found. Lastly, when your thoughts cry you are unworthy, inadequate or unlovable, remind yourself you are His prized treasure, loved and cherished, adequate and complete because He made it so.
Free to Be Inadequate
I do not just want to read my Bible. I want to reap my Bible. I do not just want to go to church. I want to be the church. I do not just want to explore my Bible. I want to encounter God in my Bible. I do not want to just understand truth. I want to stand under truth. I am not adequate because I read my Bible, encounter God or stand under truth. I am free to be inadequate because I know the gospel. Thank you Jesus for completing me.
