God can take the most sinful, weakest, unworthy, unequipped person and do miraculous things through them for His glory. Why couldn’t he use you to do the same? (Unknown)”

As the old saying goes, God doesn’t call the qualified, but He qualifies the called. In other words, God chooses the foolish and weak to shame the wise and the strong. He chooses those who are nobodies over those in the Fortune 500 list.

If God has put a calling on your life, what He wants is your obedience. He will give you everything you need to fulfill God’s purpose on you. Above any kind of skillset or talents you posses, what God wants more than anything else is you — your heart, your very self.

If God can use all the characters in the Bible in the list above, then He can certainly use you. So what’s your excuse?
