More Than Fine…

Not Good Enough

// August 6th, 2010 // Uncategorized

Anybody else feel like they are always coming up short of what they are capable of? I never feel like I’m doing anywhere close to enough with my time. How many opportunities slip by daily? Opportunities for growth, opportunities to help others, etc. etc. etc. The lost moments are overwhelming, but in reality it usually isn’t just lost moments. It is usually lost hours that turn into lost days and then weeks and then months and then years. And if I’m supposed to be glorifying God in all I do… wow.

But that is where my reflection gives me pause. Rather than sending me into despair over my inadequacy, I’m led to worship God for loving me anyway and covering my faults and failures. Christ is glorified in my weakness. I fall way short of glorifying God in everything I do and to be honest I’m usually not even striving toward that goal. Good thing I can’t save myself. Not to say I don’t need to get better about how I use my time, but I’m comfortable knowing I’m never going to get where I should be and its only by the grace of God that I’ll even improve from where I am today. More importantly, its by God’s grace that I’m going to come up short and that is a not so subtle reminder of how desperately I need him. For that blessing and reminder, I’m eternally grateful.
