I'm not sure why, but I got this sense of urgency to post this after I received it from Mountainwings. I don't know, maybe someone needs to hear this today. Here goes:

If You Think You Aren’t Good Enough
=======================

The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...

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
Sampson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah 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
John the Baptist ate bugs
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!

What do you have that’s worse than that?
So no more excuses!

God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren't the message,
you are just the messenger.


Love is the message & we are the messengers. Let's make sure we spread the message wisely.

Love in Christ,
Y

Thank you.

I just sent that to my WW's email. She just mentioned the other day that she was thinking of going to church, and said she had trouble talking about or praying to God because she is a sinner. Although she continues to talk with OM who is in jail, keeps telling me we are over as far as she is concerned, and that she'll go to church with OM when he gets out of jail if he wants to. I want to tell her that she can go to church until the end of her days, but that will not make her A, and having a divorce, an ok thing, EVER, but I can't think of a way to say that without LB'ing, or having her just give up and say "Yeah, I'm a sinner, forget church, just going to keep living this trashy life I have chosen with OM."

All I can do is hope and pray for her.
