Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Thomas doubted. Peter had anger issues. David committed adultery. Abraham lied. Lazarus was dead. Surely God can use you too!” Meme

I think every good accomplishment on the face of the earth is an example of divine strength being made perfect in human weakness, for all men are weak in one way or another. If God is to use people to work goodness in the world, the only ones available to Him are imperfect. Perfection has never been a criteria for God to use people. I believe He can use us to work good without us even knowing it but, I think He prefers the participation of a humble faith that trusts Him to do more than we could ever accomplish without Him.

“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.” 2Cor.3.5 “Conversations Within” ts 5/27/2017
