God Can Use Anyone

* Moses stuttered. * David's armour didn't fit. * John Mark was rejected by Paul. * Timothy had ulcers. * Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning. * Jacob was a liar. * David had an affair. * Solomon was too rich. * Abraham was too old. * David was too young. * Peter was afraid of death. * Lazarus was dead. * John was self-righteous. * Naomi was a widow. * Paul was a murderer. * So was Moses. * Jonah ran from God. * Miriam was a gossip. * Gideon and Thomas both doubted. * Jeremiah was a bullfrog; * Just kidding -- he was depressed and suicidal. * Elijah was burned out. * Martha was a worry-wart. * Mary may have been lazy. * Samson had long hair. * Noah got drunk, and that's not all. * Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse? * But God doesn't require a job interview. * He doesn't hire and fire like most bosses, * because He's more our Dad than our Boss. * He doesn't look at financial gain or loss. * He's not prejudiced or partial, not judging, grudging, * sassy, or brassy, not deaf to our cry, not blind to our need. A Christian minister once said, “I was never of any use until I found out that God did not intend me to be a great man.”
