Do you ever feel like you are not enough?
When You Don’t Feel Like You Are Enough: Finding Comfort in the Bible
Do you ever feel like you’re not enough? This feeling is not uncommon, and it can be debilitating. But the good news is that the Bible offers abundant encouragement and wisdom for those moments.
God’s Unfailing Love
The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible shares comforting words about God’s boundless love for us. In Psalms 139:14, it says, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” You are uniquely designed by God, and He sees you as wonderful.
Our Strength in Weakness
Sometimes, our feelings of inadequacy stem from our weaknesses. But the Apostle Paul teaches us that in our weakness, God’s strength is made perfect. In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, he writes, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” Embracing our weakness allows God’s strength to shine through us.
A Future Filled with Hope
Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” God’s plans for you are good and filled with hope. Trusting in His purpose can bring peace to feelings of inadequacy.
Guidance and Wisdom
If you’re seeking guidance, turn to James 1:5, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” God generously offers wisdom to those who seek it.
Conclusion
You are enough, not because of anything you’ve done, but because of who you are in God’s eyes. When feelings of inadequacy creep in, turn to the Scripture. Let God’s loving words remind you of your value, strength, and hope.
