In this time of Christmas, I am reminded that I am not enough. Nothing that I do will ever be enough and in no way can I earn place to be enough. However, there is this amazing man, depicted throughout the Bible, who was born a man and was willing to die - to be enough - for my sins.
I read John 20 last night, about the death & resurrection of Christ. It never ceases to amaze me. It seems so simply, clear cut, and easy to comprehend but really its profound! This man - the SON of GOD - chose to come & DIE for me.
Why? So I would be seen as enough.
Because Christ died for me, I am covered in the Book of Life. I am enough because God sees Jesus' death in place of my own.
Single-handedly, I will never be enough. I will fail every time. I'm human, I let people down, I screw up, I say things I shouldn't, I make mistakes. But with Christ, I can do anything.
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
I am never alone in my suffering, troubles, tribulations, rejoicing, or praising.
Christ is in me.
