My Dear Child~
Do you know that I created you to do good works? (Ephesians 2:10) Yes, I want YOU to do great things with your life!
Do you think you are too old? Moses was 80 when I called him. (Acts 7:17-36)
Do you have trouble speaking in front of people? Moses did, so I gave him a helper. (Exodus 4:10-14) (These days I would recommend a Toastmaster’s meeting; check it out, they are awesome 🙂 ).
Do you think you are too young? Joash was seven years old when he became king. (2 Chronicles 24:1)
Are you inexperienced? So was David. I called him to be a king when he was a shepherd boy. (1 Samuel 16:1-13)
Does the task seem too big? David confronted a giant. (1 Samuel 17:1-50)
Are your resources too small? The disciples had that problem when they were asked to feed thousands of people. (Matthew 14:13-21)
The point is, all you need to do is offer yourself to Me. If you are willing to be used, I can make up for anything that you lack.
I have even been known to use a donkey and a fish to accomplish My work. (Numbers 22:21-34) (Jonah 1:17) So don’t be surprised when I call you.
Perhaps you will be called to love children. Maybe I will ask you to help the sick, the poor, or your next door neighbor. Perhaps you will be the doctor who will solve a great medical mystery. You do have a calling…..a calling that is designed specifically for you. Are you listening? I have great things for you to do! Let’s get on it!
