Useful

We ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
2 CORINTHIANS 4: 7 NLT

Yes, friend, God can work through you. It is not only those with extraordinary gifts or talents that the Lord chooses to be His representatives. On the contrary, He uses people who will humbly rely on His power to achieve His goals. The more dependent you are on Him, the more His glory can shine through you.

Of course, the temptation is to look at your faults and failings and deem yourself unworthy of the Father’s service. If you believe that He cannot use you because of your past, your lack of resources or education, or even your appearance, then please realize you are focusing on the wrong thing. Scripture is clear: your “adequacy is from God” (2 Corinthians 3: 5).

The Lord can work through you to accomplish His wonderful purposes, and all He requires is for you to trade your weakness for His strength and obey Him. So place your faith in Christ and rejoice at all He does in and through you.

Father, thank You for creating me for good works and working through me. May my life bring You praise, amen.

In His presence… receive the strength to serve Him.

EVERY DAY IN HIS PRESENCE, CHARLES F. STANLEY
