((Now... Just note that I didn't come up with this, my youth pastor gave this to my mother and I thought that it was really cool, so I wanted to share it with you guys... Anyhoo...))
Think you're unqualified to minister to the world? Consider this:
Moses stuttered
David's armor didn't fit
John Mark was undependable
Hosea married a prostitute
Amos only had experience as a fig tree pruner
Jacob was a liar
David had an affair
Solomon had too much money
Abraham was too old
Timothy had ulcers
Joseph was a nuisance
Paul was ugly
Peter was a coward
Lazarus was dead
Josh was self-righteous
Jesus was homeless
Naomi was a widow
Jonah was disobedient
Miriam was a gossip
Gideon and Thomas were doubters
Jeremiah was suicidal
Elijah suffered from depression
Paul was a murderer
So was Moses...
Not to mention David...
John the Baptist dressed funny
Martha was a worrywart
Samson needed a haircut
Noah had a drinking problem
Moses had a short fuse
Zacchaeus was very short
David was only a teenager
So was Mary, the mother of Jesus..
So was Daniel..
And so many others used by God...
Fortunately, God doesn't requirea a job interview for his ministry. He doesn't do backgorudn checks or ask for references. He doesn't care what your qualifications are.
The fact is, no one is qualified to serve God. If you think you're qualified, you'll likely fail. God calls unqualified people because the only way they can be successful in their ministry is to depend fully and completely on God!
My excuse is I'm not worthy, but I try any how 'cause I love JESUS & I want to see the will of GOD & the Kingdom come.
Great post.Jesus came to heal the sick sinners, not the hoytee toytees.The lost not the self-rightous.
If you want to be used by GOD, just ask HIM. & HE will use you even when you don't realize HE's using you ! In the end everything is GOD's will.
Hi Lindsey
Frank TomiI would like to put this on the new site also. But you might need to make the words a little bigger. For the old people like me.
Just high light the words, and click on the Format button, set it to 5 Heading.
It will take me a few days to copy this to the site, I have a cold and have been sick for the past few days.
