Do you always see yourself as a weak person and that God cannot use you for anything in His kingdom? Think again! Why don’t you try discovering the truth about the instruments that God used according to the scriptures.
IN OUR WEAKNESS, GOD’s POWER IS MADE PERFECT!

What more are you going to say for an excuse? God gave them second chances and they gave glory to His name.
God does not require a job interview. He doesn’t hire and fire like most bosses do because He’s more our Dad than our boss (in spite of being His master in our lives). He doesn’t look on financial gain or loss. He’s neither prejudiced nor partial; judging, grudging, sassy, nor brassy. He’s not deaf to our cry, or blind to our needs.
Satan says, “You’re not worthy”
Jesus says, “So what? I AM.”
Satan looks back and sees your mistakes. God looks back and sees the cross.
Sure there are lots of reasons why God shouldn’t want us. But if we are in love with Him, if we hunger for Him more than our next breath, He’ll use us in spite of who we are, where we’ve been or what we look like.
