Sunday Inspirations: God Can Use You


Sojourner's Place created a weekly meme to help us share our spirituality with one anothers. Often, I feel that I am not worthy of God's love. I have been a very imperfect vessel during my years on earth. However, I have learned through The Word that all of us are worthy. God demonstrates that he can use each and every one of us in his Kingdom. Villagers, The Next Time You Feel Like God Can't Use You, Just Remember:

Hi Villager :)
thx for posting this meme...sometimes we also use our imperfections AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT SERVE GOD...this shows meme makes our excuses null and void :)

Isn't it amazing how God uses us even with our imperfections to be a beacon for others? Sometimes it just makes me shiver because you know it just not a coincidence...you know that its GOD. And when that happens, you also know that God loves you unconditionally even with our imperfections! Amen!

Much obliged for being a Sunday Inspiration! This week's SjP message is SjP
