DAILY WORD TUESDAY 21ST JULY 2009 

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]. Philippians 4:13

Many of you like me have probably spent most of your lives fighting against feelings of inferiority; looking around at the strengths and abilities of others and feeling inadequate. 

We learn over time how to put up barriers and wear masks to hide, what we perceive to be, our true personalities from other people. 

We walk away from opportunities, fearing that we will be found lacking in the knowledge and skills needed, comparing ourselves with people who ‘we think’ are more qualified than we are. 

Ultimately we become socially phobic, withdrawing from relationships, convinced we are inferior to others, and even believing ‘the lie’ that God has favourites whom He endowers with special ‘gifts’ 

But the truth is that our abilities or lack of abilities are of no importance, as ‘IN CHRIST’ we are more than able; strengthened, infused and empowered by His presence, in our lives, each and every day. 

His love and grace is sufficient to carry us through this life, whatever it may bring, and as we learn more each day how to lean on His entire personality rather than our own, we will do and become far more than we ever dreamt we might be. 

Stay fervently focused,

Much love,
