There are times, honestly, that I don't think God can use me. Worse yet, I feel sometimes that God won't use me.
Do you ever feel that way?
Looking back recently on some notes from Dr. Dave Burggraff's sermons (2007 GMSA Missionary Conf. in Chile), I found this list of people whom God used.
I was encouraged.
My prayer is that you will be too.
Noah - Drunk
Abraham - Too old
Moses - Studdered
Jacob - Liar
Joseph - Was abused
Gideon - Afraid
Samson - Long-haired womanizer
Elijah - Suicidal
Jeremiah & Timothy - Too young
Naomi - Widow
Rahaab - Prostitute
David - Adulterer & Murderer
Jonah - Ran from problems
Samaritan Women - Divorced (more than once)
Zaccheaus - Too short
Peter - Denied the Lord
Martha - Worried about everything
Disciples - Fell asleep praying
Paul - Too religious
Timothy - Stomach ulcer
Lazarus - Just dead
Even though we are all "Cracked Pots", the Master Potter can use us if we are moldable.
