“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” ~ Psalm 73:26

Do you ever feel that you’re not good enough? To face down situations that you dread or overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable?

If you ever feel that you’re not good enough — you’re right. That might sound mean but the fact remains that “no one is good but One, that is, God” (Mark 10:18). None of us are good enough – not in our character and not in our earthy ability to face challenges alone.

If you are going through some difficulty today, maybe you’re facing a situation that makes you feel anxious or scared, don’t be hard on yourself. I recently read an article about a young person and they were facing severe bullying. In the end they made a tragic choice to escape the situation.

Many years ago I also experienced bullying and I learned that you can be strong and scared at the same time. Thankfully I had a good support system which enabled me to cope. GOD is my strongest supporter and I saw His intervention in making something good out of a bad situation.

My point is we are all nothing on our own and we cannot face life’s challenges alone. The great thing is that GOD is with us always and He gives us the resilience and strength to overcome difficulties. It’s His character and strength in us that allows us to manage life’s challenges. His strength gives us strength. His goodness makes us good enough.

I hope dear Reader that as you confront life’s challenges and feel that you are not good enough on your own, you remember you’re not alone. God is in you, giving you strength to overcome any obstacle and imputing His goodness and character in you. He will faithfully see you through whatever challenge you face. And you will overcome it.
