I do and I have.
Am I enough as a husband?
Am I enough as an employee?
Am I enough as a Christian?
I never feel like I am enough. Some of you may feel the same way. Imposter but pretending to have it together. Honestly I never feel like I have it together.
Am I down on myself? No. Just being transparent. Someone told me recently they struggled with "imposter syndrome". Imposter Syndrome is a persistent self-doubt and a feeling of being a fraud despite evidence of our achievements. We do enough to get by but never feel totally confident in ourselves.
What if we are exposed? What if people know the truth about us?
Those fears haunt us.
The one thing that we can be absolutely sure about is that God thinks we are enough. That’s the thing that I hold onto. Even those days I don’t feel I am enough, God tells me that I am.
God knows us. He knows our worth isn’t our job or what we do. He’s not impressed with a title.
We cannot let ourselves be weighed down by self-judgment and concern about your ability to make God accept you. We can't make Him love us more. The Creator of the Universe already loves us enough to sacrifice everything in order to be with us. He's loved us since the beginning of time, when He planned for our existence.
God's love is personal. He knows each of us individually and loves us personally. His is a mighty love that has no beginning and no end.
I am reminded of the song “I am a friend of God” by Israel Houghton
Who am I that You are mindful of me
That You hear me when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me
How You love me it's amazing
[Chorus]
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend
It’s not about being religious with God. It is about relationship. He wants to have a relationship with us. We are enough when we are a friend of God.
