Inspiration Wednesday

I think that there are days that everyone feels a little like a doormat. It's hard to see a purpose in life when you feel like you are a failure in so many things. I think I may have posted this sometime or somewhere before...but it never fails to remind me that I am important to God's plan even if I don't quite understand where I fit into it yet.

When some of us feel that God doesn't love us or can't use us 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...Samson 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! We have no excuses when we think God doesn't love us and can't use us to our full potential...
