Day 03 / 07
CHRIST IS IN ME.
I AM ENOUGH.
L ife can be too much sometimes. The pace and demand can leave you breathless and stretched thin. Trying to keep up with it all can leave you feeling like there’s not enough of you to go around, or maybe even like you aren’t enough. Somewhere along the way, we tend to buy into the belief that what makes us enough is what we do or what we have, and that leaves us continually operating from a deficit. But there’s a truth that can set you free from this:
Lacks and labels don’t define your worth — God does. And He says that you are enough. You. Today. Right now.
It’s interesting that, as Christians, we so readily accept Jesus and his sacrifice for us, but have trouble accepting ourselves. What I’ve realized, though, is that to accept Jesus but not to accept Steven is to miss the gift of salvation where it matters the most. God sees you and me, not through the lens of our imperfections or the sum of our achievements, but through the perfect work of Jesus on the cross.
When God looks at you, He doesn't see all the reasons you might disqualify yourself; He sees His child, fearfully and wonderfully made. It's not about being "good enough" by human standard. It's about being loved enough by the only One whose opinion truly matters — and you are. He's not holding out for a polished version of you; He's looking at the real you, the one He created and called by name, and in His eyes you are more than enough.
It’s an easy thing to say, though: “Love who God made you and step fully into it. Know and believe that you’re enough.” But I realize it’s a much more difficult thing to deeply believe and walk in it. The phrase I’m sharing with you today is very personal to me. If you can get it and really adopt it into your way of thinking, I think it can transform your life: Christ is IN me. I am enough.

To accept Jesus and not YOU is to miss the gift of salvation where it matters most.
W hen we say the words “Christ is in me”, we’re talking about the transformative power of His presence dwelling within our very being. It's the core of our faith, the game changer, the seismic shift that redefines everything. Christ in you isn't just a nice thought or a theological concept; it's the reality that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in you, right now, in this moment.
Imagine this: the God of the universe, the Creator of EVERYTHING, has chosen to make His home in your heart. It's not because you earned it; it's because He loves you that much. It means that you carry within you the hope of glory, the potential for every promise in God's Word to become your reality. It means that you are never alone, never without help or hope, because He is with you, and He is for you.
Colossians 1:27 declares, "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." This isn't just a passing phrase; it's a cornerstone of our faith, the bedrock truth that Christ resides in us, giving us the assurance of glory. Then there's Galatians 2:20, where Paul proclaims with unshakeable conviction, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Paul is not speaking metaphorically here; he's speaking about a literal, spiritual reality that Christ's presence has taken up residence in his life.
Christ in you is the assurance that you have access to divine wisdom, strength, and guidance for every decision, every challenge, every moment of your life. It's the confidence to face your giants, knowing that the One who conquered the grave gives you the victory. It's the boldness to step out in faith because you know who you belong to and who lives inside of you. It’s the power to change, to break free from the chains of your past, to rise above the circumstances that try to hold you down. It's the courage to be who God has called you to be, to do what He has called you to do, no matter how impossible it may seem.
Say it out loud: “Christ is in me. I am enough.” I want you to make this the mindset you rest in, believe from, and fight with.
When the devil starts to attack God’s purpose for your life, what are you going to say back?
Christ is in me. I am enough.
When you’re laying in bed at night, worrying and anxious, what are you going to pray?
Christ is in me. I am enough.
When you begin to doubt your ability to handle what’s facing you, what are you going to think?
Christ is in me. I am enough.
As you get to the end of today, I’ve got a moment of motivation for you — I hope this track fills you with boldness, restored confidence, and ignites your faith when you’re under mental or physical attack.
SCRIPTURE
“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”.
— John 14:4-5
