What's YOUR excuse?

Last night, someone posted this on Facebook and I really liked it!

Jacob was a cheater,

Peter had a temper,

David had an affair,

Noah got drunk,

Jonah ran from God,

Paul was a murderer,

Gideon was insecure,

Miriam was a gossiper,

Martha was a worrier,

Thomas was a doubter,

Sara was impatient,

Elijah was moody,

Moses stuttered,

Zaccheus was short,

Abraham was old,

Lazarus was dead,

The Samaritan woman slept around,

Mark was a quitter,

Solomon was a bigamist,

Samson didn't keep his word,

Timothy was young,

Matthew was despised,

Hosea had marriage problems,

Rahab was a prostitute,

Job lost everything

Now, what's YOUR excuse? Can God use you or not? God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called! God doesn't call the perfect, but perfects the called!!

I think that for myself I usually have more than one excuse as to why God cannot use me. How many times have I talked myself out of being obedient to the Lord, because of the way I see myself? Don't let anything hold you back! God wants to use your imperfections in such a unique way!

"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." 

- 2 Corinthians 12:9
