Self sufficient?

I recently discovered an amazing jazz musician, Emma Nissen. She has  an incredible amount of soul and she sings so smoothly. There's a song that caught my ear recently that she performs, titled, Am I enough.  She does a great job of diving into the self doubt, that one can have in their walk with the Lord. 

It's something we can all resonate with in one way or another. We can start to wonder as we assess our spiritual disciplines. Are we praying enough, are we reading scriptures enough, are we doing enough to be found faithful? How much is enough really?

You can try to compare and you will somehow, always find someone, that is doing more than you. It can be encouraging and at times, it feels as though you've got a long way to go. It can make one tired before even starting. If perfection is the standard, can our cumbersome ways really amount to anything?

By the time I get this far into my train of thought, it means I'm being self centred in my thinking. I really need to remember to stop thinking about myself so much. Such a burden can be taken up without knowing it. This need to perform and to meet quotas before God. 

No matter what we cannot find this in ourselves. Like guests invited to a feast, we are dinning at the table because we were invited not because we somehow snuck in. We only get to be where we are now because of Christ's finished works. We are not enough we never were meant to be. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is what is enough. Enough for us in our weakness, for that is where His power is made perfect.
