The Power of Divine Affirmation, Part 1

This is part one of the second chapter of a book in progress entitled The Good Enough for God Life. You can read chapter one HERE.

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”

Psalm 62:5-8

The “Good Enough for God Life” that Dan is talking about assumes conversion. After we have been called, welcomed, forgiven, and redeemed by God, we don’t have to live up to any other opinion or any other judgment. The Good Enough for God Life is about living in the wonder of God’s great love. We don’t feel better about ourselves because of who we are, but because of who God is. The fact that we are, in Christ, good enough for God, is a gift, not an achievement. It’s a statement of relationship, not pride.

It’s about reminding ourselves daily that God has the final say. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).

It’s not about finding our identity in ourselves.
