Feel Like You're Not Enough?

Feeling Like You’re Not Enough?

I was feeling that way just the other morning.

And I said to God, “God, I don’t really have what it takes to do what You are calling me to do.” I wasn’t exaggerating, and I wasn’t putting myself down. I was being realistic. I just don’t got it.

Because that happens sometimes. No matter how many anthems you sing about how you’re gonna finally stand up and be brave and have your moment and not let anything stop you and blah blah blah, sometimes, you look in the mirror and you realize you are a mere mortal and do not, inherently, have all the tools, skills, resources, or character traits necessary to achieve every dream God has put on your heart.

Because God’s dreams are like Him. A lot bigger than us.

I mourned my inadequacy before the Lord. Then I opened my Bible and started to read. I was specifically keeping my eyes peeled for a little comfort.

Most of what I read was normal. “Yes, yes… I’ve read that a few times... Next!” Until I came to Matthew 14. Then I sat straight up.

I read it again and again. Then I drew the image God had brought to my mind through that story—and that is what I’m sharing with you today.

My kids asked what all the little circles are in the background. They’re people—more than 5,000 of them.

And they’re all full.

Blessings,
