Are you good enough?

From the Editors

That’s a question many people face in one way or another every week, and sometimes every day! Self-doubt is common, yet never productive. What if instead the question was phrased this way: “Is God good enough?” That certainly brings a whole different angle to the matter of ability and aptitude. The Bible includes this encouraging verse: “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” (II Corinthians 3:5).

In the light of that statement, we can conclude: as the creation of God, your sufficiency and aptitude are the expressions of divinity in action. God, whom Christian Science defines as Mind, thoroughly reflects in you understanding and aptitude—and even excellence. There is no need to enhance or induce these divine qualities. As the harmonious transparency of God, you represent divine Mind’s character wholly.
