Epic Fail?  Not!

Do you think that describes you?  Has your church family made you feel like that? Do you think God can’t use you? 

Think again! God can use YOU! Scripture shows that God can use anybody – God can use me, God can use you! God can use bad for good, God can use someone like you!
 

Do you feel like God couldn’t possibly use you? 

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 was an adulterer and 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)
~ Zacchaeus was too small
~ Paul was too religious
~ Timothy had an ulcer
~ Lazarus was dead!
  
God can use anyone!

2 Corinthians 12:9, NLT My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.
1 Peter 4:10, NIV Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called. 

It’s not about our ability, It’s about our availability!

Seek to be a real and authentic person who does not judge or pretend to have it all together, but admits  simply to be an imperfect person who has tasted God's love and mercy, and is trying to live everyday in gratitude of it.

Be that person and God will use you, because that is exactly the kind of people God has used through out history.
