The next time you feel like GOD can't use YOU, remember some of the people God chose to use in the Bible.
- Noah was a drunk,
- Abraham was too old,
- Isaac was a daydreamer,
- Jacob was a liar,
- Leah was ugly,
- Joseph was abused,
- Moses had a stuttering problem,
- Gideon was afraid,
- Samson had long hair and was a womanizer,
- David had an affair and was a murderer,
- Elijah was suicidal,
- Isaiah preached naked,
- Jonah ran from God,
- Mary Magdalene was a prostitute,
- Jeremiah and Timothy were too young,
- Peter denied Christ,
- The Disciples fell asleep while Jesus asked them to watch and pray,
- And Lazarus was dead!
No more excuses now!! God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.
Remember this...
When He uses someone for His purposes,
GOD DOES NOT CHOOSE ONE WHO IS PERFECT...
HE PERFECTS THE ONE HE CHOOSES.
For God is working in you,...
giving you the desire and the power to
do what pleases Him.
Philippians2:13 (NLT)
When God calls you will you be willing to do His will...to work the job He gives you? Just say, YES, and ask Him to help and guide you. Of course He will do just that.

Wishing you all a great day!

I was discussing this on Sunday, before I read your blog. So I guess The Lord is using you to tell me that He has some kingdom work coming up for each of us!
Thanks for the reminder.
This is a nice thought Linnie. I do believe that the Lord always has a plan for us. We need to remove the road blocks and the self doubt and say...YES LORD!
