So You Think You Are Not Good Enough For God To Use You

The cry of the Haitian people is, “Eske ou ka ede nou, souple? “ (Can you help, please?)

20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. . . . Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says,“In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 5:20a;6:1-2

The people of Haiti need our help, now.  Please see the disaster relief post on this website and go receive the training so you can be an ambassador for Christ to the Haitian people.

They are not the only people, however, who need your help.  Many people you will meet this week have had their world collapse upon them through divorce, layoff, bankruptcy, illness, or death in their family.  They did not endure the earthquake which hit Haiti, but their world has collapsed upon them nonetheless.  Choose to reach out to them with Christ’s love and help them.

Before you decide too quickly that there is nothing you can do 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
Sampson 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!

So you have no more excuses!  God can, and will use you, but you must yield to His will.  Besides you aren’t the message, you are just the messenger.
