Excuses

If you're not involved in any service or ministry, what excuse have you been using?

Abraham was old,
Jacob was insecure,
Leah was unattractive,
Joseph was abused,
Moses stuttered,
Gideon was poor,
Samson was codependent,
Rahab was immoral,
David had an affair and all kinds of family problem,
Elijah was suicidal,
Jeremiah was depressed,
Jonah was reluctant,
Naomi was a widow,
John the Baptist was eccentric to say the least,
Peter was impulsive and hot-tempered,
Martha worried a lot,
the Samaritan woman had several failed marriages,
Zacchaeus was unpopular,
Thomas has doubts,
Paul had poor health,
and Timothy was timid..

That is quite a variety of misfits, but God used each of them in His service.
He will use you too, if you stop making excuses....
