We are often bombarded with feelings of insufficiency and doubt, yet it’s important to remember that you have what it takes. It is a lie to believe that you are not good enough, because the truth is that you are more than enough.
God took into consideration every aspect of your life before He made you. He factored in even the very tiny details that perfectly define you are.
Take a look at 2 Peter 1:3, and let’s find out how the Bible explains this truth. It says
As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.
One of the greatest truths we can embrace is that we are gifted beyond our own comprehension. Crafted with divine intention, we are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” with abilities and potential that extend far beyond what we may realize. With a willingness to reach forward and act, there’s very little we can’t accomplish. Recognizing our inherent worth and purpose empowers us to step out in faith, knowing that, with God’s guidance, anything is within reach.
In 2 Peter 1:3, it is affirmed that God has equipped us with everything we need to live a godly life. Although we may feel inadequate at times, our true strength and sufficiency come from God. By embracing His power, we recognize that we are not limited by our own abilities alone; rather, we are empowered because of His sufficiency. Denying our worth and potential is, in essence, a denial of God’s boundless power working within us.
Know who you are
Self-identity brings true freedom. When you fully realize who you are—and whose you are—you’ll see that you have what it takes to achieve your greatest potential. The Bible says we are created in God’s image, and this truth defines our identity. Knowing that we are God’s masterpiece and His prized possession is powerful. This divine identity affirms that you have what it takes to live with purpose, confidence, and strength, reflecting the unique potential that God has placed within you.
Our identity enables us to do all things through Christ Who strengthens us.

When you embrace your true identity, you can boldly affirm you have what it takes. This will allow you to move forward with purpose. Life’s struggles may tell us otherwise, leaving us feeling battered. Yet it’s in these challenging times that we discover resilience. Even in moments of weakness, we find that God’s strength is enough for us. Through both hardships and blessings, we realize the depth of our potential and strength, continually empowered by the knowledge of our divine identity.
Don't Be Discouraged
You have what it takes to step into God’s calling for your life, even if it’s hard to see beyond the natural. Through faith, we can witness God’s hand working everything for our good. God has equipped us with everything we need, embedded in our very being as a measure of faith. First, we must believe this truth; then, we must act with confidence in who we are.
As we journey through life’s difficulties, let us hold onto the assurance that God is right beside us. The strength to overcome doesn’t rely on our abilities alone but is grounded in the power of the Almighty. When faced with life’s unyielding challenges, we are reminded that it’s by the Spirit of God—not by our might—that we can triumph. Our confidence comes not from our own hands but from God.
As We Conclude
Whatever the situations you are facing, or however great the lack, remember: you have what it takes. Look away from self, and turn to the Lord, who is your strength. Trust in His power, not in your own, for confidence lies in Him. As you abide in His true vine, He enables you to receive what you seek in life. Lean into His strength and live boldly. Trust God, walk in faith, and embrace the abundant life He’s prepared for you. God bless you.
