Sometimes I find it so easy to let my “used to be” (you know, the me without God) speak to who I am now.  I wallow in my shame, sadness and loss.  That’s not the greif that God desires for us or that Jesus made possible for us.  Again, that’s the old way and the [...]

 

Does God have a plan?

Posted By admin on January 7th, 2010

I received the following in an email from my mother this morning . . .

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
  • Sampson 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!

When I really take a look at the examples of who God includes as major players in His story in scripture and throughout history I become more and more convinced that I have a part too!

I was interested to see how many “pervs” were on the list. There is a place for all of- me.

I really like this Noel, it forces me to see that God can, and will, forgive and look beyond our worst failures.

Yes, I like this.
