God Can Use You (Really!)

Moses stuttered.
Aaron caved into peer pressure.
David's armor didn't fit.
John Mark was rejected.
Timothy had ulcers.
Abraham was a liar.
Hosea's wife was a prostitute.
So was Rahab.
Amos was a nobody.
Jacob was a liar.
David had an affair.
Solomon was too rich.
Jesus was too poor.
Zechariah was too old.
David was too young.
Peter was afraid.
Lazarus was dead!
John was self-righteous.
Naomi was a widow.
Paul was a murderer.
So was Moses.
Jonah ran from God.
Miriam was a gossip.
Gideon doubted.
So did Thomas.
Jeremiah was depressed.
Elijah was burnt out.
Zacchaeus was short.
John the Baptist was a loudmouth.
Martha was a worry-wart.
Mary was lazy.
Elisha was bald.
Samson had long hair.
Noah got drunk.
Ehud was left-handed.

If God can use all of these people, who were unqualified for what God called them to do …
SURELY GOD CAN USE YOU!
