“God wants to use you to make a difference in this world… what excuse have you been using?
Abraham was old
Jacob was insecure
Leah was unattractive
Joseph was abused
Moses Stuttered
Gideon was poor
Samson was codependent
Rahab was immoral
David had an affair and all kinds of family problems
Elijah was suicidal
Jeremiah was depressed
Jonah was reluctant
Naomi was a widow
John the Baptist was eccentric to say the least
Peter was impulsive and hot tempered
Martha worried a lot
The Samaritan woman had several failed marriages
Zacchaeus was unpopular
Thomas had doubts
Paul had poor health
And Timothy was timid
That is quite a variety of misfits, but God used each of them in his service. He will use you, too, if you stop making excuses.”
- Rick Warren
