God can use you!

The next time you feel like God can’t use you, consider this:
Noah was a drunk, Abraham was too old, Jacob was a liar, Moses stuttered, Gideon was afraid, Rehab was a prostitute, Jeremiah and Timothy were too young, David was an adulterer and a murderer, Elijah was suicidal, Isaiah preached naked, Jonah ran from God, Naomi and Ruth were widows, Job went bankrupt, Peter denied Christ, Martha worried about everything, Zaccheus was too small, Paul was too religious, Timothy had an ulcer, and Lazarus was dead! During his life Mike Yaconelli enabled and encouraged thousand of young pastors, many of them didn’t feel qualified for the job. Mike said, “The power of the church is not a parade of flawless people. But of a flawless Christ, who embraces our flaws. The Church is not made up of whole people, but rather a broken people who find wholeness in a Christ who was broken for us.â€
