Moment with Marlene:
Do you sometimes feel God can’t use you in great ways? Me too! Well this information may be familiar to you, but as I stumbled across these words today, they not only comforted me but delighted me to the point of giggling. So I decided to share this truth with you today.
Imagine what God did through these men and women who were either a big mess, or had so little to offer at the time. So the next time you feel like GOD can’t use you, just remember…
- 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!
- Rahab was a prostitute!
- Jeremiah and Timothy were too young!
- David had an affair and was a murderer!
- Elijah was suicidal!
- Isaiah preached naked!
- Jonah ran from God!
- Naomi was a widow!
- Job went bankrupt!
- John the Baptist ate bugs!
- Peter denied Christ!
- The Disciples fell asleep while praying!
- Martha worried about everything!
- The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once!
- Zaccheus was too small!
- Paul was too religious!
- Timothy had an ulcer!
- Lazarus WAS DEAD!
Ha! This does my heart good! How about you? If God can value and use these characters, He can use you and me!!! Right? Let’s make ourselves available everyday and see what happens. I want Him to use me in new ways. How about you?
“If you can do anything Lord you can use me. Take my hands Lord and my feet. Take my mouth and speak through me. If you can do anything Lord you can use me!!” Amen
Remember, you are uniquely equipped to serve God. He wants you! He needs you! Be assured today!
