About thinking you are not quite good enough…

Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. (NIV)

Many of us feel we do not measure up. Many of us feel we are not quite good enough. Realistically, no one can be the best at everything. No one can "measure up" in every part of life. All of us have deficiencies and faults. However, should we carry a burden on our back because we feel we are not quite good enough? No, we should not carry such a burden. The reason we should not carry this kind of dark burden is because in Christ's eyes we ARE good enough. In Christ's eyes, we were good enough He was willing to die for us. In Christ's eyes, His destination for us in the world and in heaven is such a glorious destination, the idea of your not being quite good enough is ridiculous to Him. As a child of God you are more than worthy. As a child of God you can exceed all expectations of what the world expects a person to be. To think about your trying to measure up to a defective yardstick the world creates is total foolishness. In Christ, you measure up. In Christ, you are called one of His own.
