Not Created to be Enough …

I recently read a book that was recommended to me by a student. The book, Behind the Veils of Yemen, was written by a missionary wife and mother who ministered in Yemen for a time. It’s an easy read and quite enlightening!

There were several things that stood out to me in this book but one incident in particular was due to what we had taught our children as they were growing up.  A phrase we always said … and still say … HE is enough!

I was reminded of this as I read this quote from the book – “I had come face-to-face with my human insufficiency, and I also had come face-to-face with the unlimited sufficiency of Christ.  I recognized that I could never be enough because I had never been created to be enough, and He could never be limited. I was not caught by circumstances. I was caught in the arms of Christ.”

The phrase “I had never been created to be enough, …” has encouraged my heart.  I trust your heart has been encouraged as well with this truth!
