The SON is shining; He can use you.

My sister Beryl (Lady B) sent me a presentation with lots of beautiful photos, and a more beautiful message...especially for those who may feel either inadequate or overwhelmed. I will forward it on to family members, but I thought it might be interesting to look at it this way also:

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
Jeremy 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
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

And Jesus helped them all. Not only that...
He used them all.
No more excuses! God can use you to your full potential.

The presentation also included the following ten (10) thoughts:

1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts
2. There is no key to happiness...the door is always open
3. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted
4. Do the math...count your blessings
5. Faith is the ability not to panic
6. If you worry, you didn't pray
If you pray, don't worry
7. As a child of God, prayers are like calling home every day
8. The most important things in your home are the people
9. When we get tangled up in our problems...
God wants us to be still, so He can untangle the knot.
10. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry
