God Uses People

Today when I opened the bible I read John 1:6. It says that there was a man sent from God, and his name was John. This helped me. It helped me, it edified me, because I am but a man and know that I will always be. In speaking with a friend today he told me that he settled in his heart long ago that there were just certain things that he seemed to always mess up. He said God know that, but gives him his gift anyway. This also edified me, because I know God gives me the gifts he gives me, not because I am perfect or because I need to do something to earn it, but because that what God chooses to do. All of us – you me, others – all of us are given one or more gifts by God, even though He knows we are human and will mess some things up. He is a good dad, and will help us along the way. Be of good cheer, God picked you because you are human, not in spite of being human!

Prayer
father, please help us in our humanity. Please help us along the way. Please pick us up when we fall. Please help us to impact the world for Your kingdom. In Jesus name. Amen.
