Growing up I know I could never be the kind of person God created us to be. I am selfish. I don’t read my bible every day. I don’t pray when I probably should. I have little to almost no patience. I lie. I get scared. I let fear run my life at time. I second guess God’s plans for me. I’m not always the nicest friend, sister, or daughter. I don’t always stand up for my faith and what I believe in. I am still (kind of) young. To be honest I could go on and on about the things that I feel make me unqualified to do God’s work.
But these past couple of days God has been showing me that he can use these things for greater good of his kingdom. I mean look at James and John they had anger issues. Rahab didn’t have the greatest past. Joseph was abused. Jacob was a liar. Jonah ran from God. Jeremiah and Timothy were too young. Gideon was afraid and Peter denied Christ. There are so many other people in the Bible that would be considered as unqualified. But God had a way to use all of them and there disqualifiers for his good.
I know I’m not perfect and honestly I am glad that I’m not. I know God can use these things in my life that (in my eyes and maybe others) seem like they should push people a way to bring them close to him. My disqulifiers are what God is going to use to make me qualified to go out into the world and share my story and do his work.
