Valley of Doubt

When some of us feel that God doesn't love us or can't use us...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...Samson 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...Elijiah 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...We have no excuses when we think God can't use us or love us...besides...we aren't the message just the messengers.

Just a thought.
