“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”—2 Timothy 1:1-7
Often, we find ourselves paralyzed by the fear of not having enough – not enough resources, not enough talent, or not enough courage. But I’m here to remind you that God has already equipped you with everything you need to begin the journey He has set before you.
We must understand that God doesn’t call us to a task without giving us the means to fulfill it. It’s not about what we lack but about utilizing what we already have. Whether it’s a talent, a skill, a network of support, or a heart full of compassion, God sees the potential in what we possess, even when we do not.
So, take that first step with what you have. Trust that God will amplify your efforts. Remember, you have enough to start, and with God’s blessing, what you have will be more than enough.
