God Can Use You

As we wrap down one of the weirdest years in my life, I reflect on where I am and where am I going ... answers would be nice ... LOL!

So, considering God's selection of Mary ...  Luke 1:26 - 38

God Will Use You
Honestly, you possess nothing God needs, you have no skills or credentials of any value to Him!
You are completely replaceable in His work on this Earth.
Mary had nothing - NOTHING - to make her more desirable to become the mother Jesus over other young women.
She was nobody, in a nowhere town, or no importance

God uses ORDINARY people to do extraordinary things, for Him and His purposes.

We Can Only Offer Ourselves
God does not need your skills!
He can and will supply everything that you need to accomplish what He desires.
All He needs is your availability and your willingness to be used by Him.

There Is A Cost
If you want to serve God, then be prepared for many of the same costs Miriam faced:
- Fear
- Being Inadequate
- Change (and change is always evil!)
- Being the Target of Gossip!
- Being Stoned
- Being "put away" by your family

We Need To Trust
We have nothing to offer except for our limitations.
God and will overcome those limitations - if we let Him ...
