Some days, I feel unworthy of my calling as a Christ-follower, friend, and mom. The “great cloud of witnesses” found in Hebrews 12 is a list of the fathers and mothers of our faith. These were not perfect people, but they depended on God’s strength and power in their lives daily. Here's a way to look at the "cloud" that has God as it's silver lining....
The next time you feel like God can’t use you, remember....
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was old
Isaac was a dreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses stuttered
Gideon was afraid
Samson was a long-haired 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
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced...a lot
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer
and Lazarus was dead!
You aren't the message, you are the messenger. :)
