“The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” – Romans 8:16-17
It’s hard to live in a world where being enough isn’t enough. There is, and always will be, something more we can be that we lack in. In the world’s eyes, we are enough one second but the next, we’re not. I am personally someone who has been a key witness to exactly that.
But once I get into the Word of God and in His presence, I’m reminded of the opposite. I’m not just enough, I’m more than enough. Why? Because He’s enough. The verse above shows us exactly that. The God of the Universe, the One Who created the Heavens and the Earth, the One who put breath into not only our lungs but every living creature on this earth, He calls me His child. That’s where my worth is found. It’s not found in my money or my looks or my personality. It’s found in the true fact that I am His child; I am His heir.
Here’s the bigger catch though: how do you expect to be enough if you’re not making Him enough?
Our identity of being enough is found when we make God enough in our lives. It’s inviting Him to fill a hole of trying to be more and making Him exactly that. If we aren’t making God enough day in and day out, how do we expect to rest in the truth that we are enough?
The enemy comes in to make us think and believe otherwise. He catches us in the midst of everything and everyone and tempts us to enter a state of comparison. But that temptation is harder to come by when we make God enough and, as a result, rest in the truth that we are enough. How can I compare myself to another when I’m resting in the fact that I was created beautifully unique by the same God who created the next person? Knowing that God is enough results in me knowing that I am enough and that comparison does not need to eat at me and tear me down.
I learned at a young age this importance. Unfortunately, I am not a master at this and I do fail at these things daily. But because I know these things, I am constantly in a state of mind of knowing the importance of making God enough. Once I enter that state, He then reminds me of my worth and where my identity lies.
God is waiting to do the same for you, all you need to do is enter that room and shut the door and enter the fruitful process of making God enough.
be. enough because He’s enough

Chloee Jean is a youth leader, a Podcaster, a Digital Creator, Worship Leader, Social Media Manager, and a firm believer in Christ. She was born and raised in a Christian home and spent her days as a little girl singing songs, playing around on the piano, and drawing with her crayons. After years of hardships and trials, Chloee found escape in her music and writing her own lyrics. She pursued a Worship Leader certificate at Bethel Music’s Worship School. When she completed her course, she led worship with her sister, Aliseea, at a small youth group they were both currently serving in. After they both stepped down from that role and during 2020’s pandemic, Chloee started her own podcast called W.O.W and small business, Simply by Chloee Jean. She now finds joy in speaking God’s Word, singing about it occasionally with her sister, and creating digital designs to point others back to God and His Word. When Chloee isn’t designing or podcasting, she spends quality time with her family by having game nights, a movie marathon, or even jamming out to some worship songs.
