Usefulness

One of the biggest complaints I hear from Christians is that they are too old or not smart enough for Christ to use. When Christ calls you to something, He already knows your strengths, weaknesses, and your age. He knows what you are capable of.

Christians can be hard on themselves and prevent the full blessings of God from being revealed. Before I began writing, I never thought I could be a help to someone else. I even caught myself saying, “I can’t do this. I am not good enough.”

Jesus says, “Come, follow me and I will make you fishers of men” in Matthew 4:19. He does not say, follow me and I will assign you tasks you think your knowledgeable of. Christ is clearly promising that if we just follow Him, He will do the work in us. He will transform us into disciples who are usable.

While you may feel inadequate, remember that our Lord has promised to make us fishers of men. He will lead the transformation; all you need to do is follow.
