“But the Lord said to him, ‘Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.’”
“He wasn’t always talking that ‘God stuff.’ I remember when…”
“She doesn’t deserve that position in the church. I saw her…”
In scripture, God uses different messengers to convey His word to believers. Being an almighty God, He has His choice in selecting who He sends to represent Him. I find it encouraging that often He chooses people who are flawed and imperfect.
Trust that God can use a broken vessel to carry a word He has for you. Don’t get caught up in who’s real or not real. Remember that God’s word will not come back void, and a good tree will bear good fruit. When Christ is preached, salvation will be freely given and lives will be changed. Rejoice knowing that Christ can and will use anyone to get His message of salvation, love, and encouragement to you.
Don’t kill the messenger
“Lord, thank You for using us to spread the goodness of Your Son Jesus. I will keep my faith in You and regard Your word more so than the deliverer of Your message. Please bless and encourage our leaders to be strong in the faith and follow your example. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
