Good Enough

For a couple days now I have been feeling pretty much like I am not good enough. In the wordly sort of way...money, appearance, job and what not. So it happened today, the thing that usually happens when I ignore something like that...I cried. And a lot.



There were two great thoughts though.



First, I am what I am by the grace of God, and his grace was not in vain (1 corinthians 15:10). Sidenote to self I don't even think I ever meant to memorize this verse, but it was great, memorize more. Note also this doesn't mean I sit around and do nothing, Paul says in the second half of that verse "I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me."



Second, I realized I am not good enough at all, which seems awful, but is freeing. I am not good enough, but Christ IS my rightousness and more than good enough, in fact more than enough (I use to think that was a kind of cheesy, still probably do, but it is true). In everything I could ever hope to do, I will still fall short, HE won't, HE can't.
