"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

I couldn't tell you how many times my mom has reminded me of this truth. Or how many times Alissa tells me on a daily basis. But it's so true and something I need to constantly be reminded of. 

In church today, this verse was mentioned again and I was struck by so much truth that was said. 

"I have value because God made me in His image." 

Who we are and where our identity lies is NOT based on how well we do something. This last thought that the pastor said today took it in full circle for me today. 

"There are a lot of things that I am not good at, but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 

This is an idea that God really really really wants me to understand, from hearing it through my mother, Alissa, and now at church. It's not about my abilities. Trust me, I am reminded time and again about everything that I am NOT good at. But that is not the point. The point is we can do ALL THINGS through Jesus. And we are made in HIS image. That's where are value lies. That's what is most important.
