When we truly understand that all the giftings in others are for us and from Another, competition loses its footing and we never look to ourselves for Ability, we simply possess all things.
It is enough to be in Him! The great Apostle Paul floods his writings with this message that it is enough to be written in His book, known by Him, rewarded of Him. He is our exceeding great Reward and our reward is in Him.
IT IS ENOUGH!
In ourselves, we lack so much to do His work; we lack so much to do any work that we desire to do. We can't accomplish our goals, we can't complete the average tasks--- and when we do, there is often little peace to match the accomplishment. Oh but in Him there is an abundance of all things needed! We can lack for everything, the wisdom, the inherent ability to pull off the job, but when we allow His residence, His presence to penetrate our lives--- when we let His ability fly right over our weaknesses--- we see that we don't need a thing but Him. This must be revealed in you. To know it is not enough, but when you begin to walk in peace (real and instinctual, not artificial patience) across your circumstances, then you have understood what I've laid down here.
You don't need to be confident because Christ comes through you with His own confidence, not something you had to create or concoct. You don't have to know how to solve the problem. Only learn how to give problems over to the One in you who has the all-knowing witts. I cannot tell you how to do this; only the Spirit can reveal the 'how' for your life. What I can tell you is the 'in Him' existence is the one which meets all your problems and challenges with forceful, agile ability and overcomes and dominates your obstacles weaving peace through your entire life by the Spirit within, Christ the hope of glory. REMEMBER, I did not say your circumstances would be peaceful. I say that you will be peaceful in them when exercising 'in Him' living! We look to ourselves for so much more than we can handle-- there is a Source that contains everything that tackles life and that Source is tapped from within you.
Relax family, our Inheritance is the same. You have no advantage over me nor I over you. We have been made One in Him. Your advantages and gifts are for me, not against me, your inheritance to be shared in joy. My advantages are never my own in Him, but for you, my Body. In this, there is no competition! All of your strengths, skills and abilities to produce any lasting result stream from one Source to bless all around you. When we truly understand that the giftings in others are for us and from Another, competition loses all footing and we never look to ourselves for Ability, we simply possess all things.
