come to think of it, this makes ALOT of sense... The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginning, but not it's end.
The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember... Noah was a drunk Abraham was too old Isaac was a daydreamer Jacob was a liar Leah was ugly Joseph was abused Moses had a stuttering problem Gideon was afraid Samson had long hair and was a womanizer Rahab was a prostitute Jeremiah and Timothy were too young David had an affair and was a murderer Elijah was suicidal! Isaiah preached naked Jonah ran from God Naomi was a widow Job went bankrupt John the Baptist ate bugs Peter denied Christ The Disciples fell asleep while praying Martha worried about everything The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once Zaccheus was too small Paul was too religious Timothy had an ulcer... AND Lazarus was dead! No more excuses now. God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.
ALWAYS REMEMBER: 1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts. 2. Growing old is inevitable BUT growing UP is optional. 3. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. 4. Do the math, count your blessings. 5. Faith is the ability to not panic. 6. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging. [TEMPLE MAINTAINENCE!] 7. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry. 8. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday. 9. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape. 10. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot. 11. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
