“I’m not good enough.”

“I’m not smart enough.”

“I’m not strong enough.”

“I’m not enough.”

Every day we are bombarded with lies that try to convince us that we don’t have what it takes to follow Jesus. Whenever we make mistakes, our insecurities show up and tell us that we will always be weak and never experience the freedom that Jesus said we could have. But the Scriptures remind us that it is the divine power of Jesus that gives us everything we need to live a godly life. Because of His strength, when we fall, we can still get up again.

God’s power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Because of the power of Christ, nothing can hold us back. No fear, no worry, no doubt, no defeat, no disappointment, no loneliness, no hardship or pain.

Because of Jesus, we have everything we need to fight against that which tries to steal our rightful identity.

The Word of God is alive, active and sharper than any two-edged sword. It discerns the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. It was breathed out by God and it corrects, teaches and encourages us. God’s Word illuminates our paths.

God’s Word is filled with reminders of who we really are. It may remind you that…

You are enough because you are a child of God. (John 1:12, 1 John 3:1)

You can rejoice in suffering because Christ suffered for you. (1 Peter 4:12-19, James 1:2-4)

You are loved very much, and you can love others as you have been loved. (John 15:9-14)

Nothing can separate you from God’s love. (Romans 8:37-39)

When you understand who you are, then you can really do all things by the power of Christ.

So let’s begin to apply the life-giving truth we find in the Bible to move from victimhood to victory. Embrace who you are in Christ.

And the next time a scary situation arises or a threatening thought comes into your head, remember that you can overcome it because of the divine power of Jesus working in you and through you. You don’t have to go through life alone — and you weren’t meant to.
