For the past several months I've been having a rather negative discussion with God. I've been venting my frustrations and doubts and found myself at a dead end for an answer for my questions.
Just when I thought this was the way my relationship was going to be, part of the message at church was about our shortcomings and how we feel inadequate.
Jon Weece put this graphic up:
I am not ___________________ enough. You can fill in the blank with your own adjectives. I used several...good, smart, righteous....
He also spoke of the first interaction between God and Moses. When God told Moses to go speak to Pharaoh and Moses asked God how to say who was sending him. God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
Whatever inadequacy or weakness I am feeling, God covers the gap for me.
What I(we) think What God says
I'm not smart enough I AM
I'm not good enough I AM
I'm not forgivable I AM
It just doesn't matter what we think, God's grace fills, covers, protects, adds, and does everything we can't. Especially when we can't.
