the
bible is full of stories of people who changed because they believed that they
could change after GOD talked to them.
GOD
came to a guy named moses: “i want to
use you to save a nation.” moses said,
“me? i got kicked out of egypt because i
killed a guy. i’m a murderer. now i’m out here feeding sheep. and on top of that, i stutter! i’m slow of speech. you want me to be the spokesman for a
nation?” GOD said, “yes. i’m going to use you.”
GOD
came to a guy named gideon, when the nation of israel was overrun by the
enemy: “i’m going to use you, gideon, to
save the country.” gideon said,
“me? i am the youngest kid in the
poorest family in the smallest tribe in the nation.” GOD said, “yes. i’m going to use you.”
GOD
came to a guy named jeremiah. “i want
you to be my spokesman. my
preacher. i want you to be a teacher of
the nation.” jeremiah said, “me? i’m mr.
depression. i’m always in a blue
funk. i’m a guy who’s depressed all the
time. not only that, i’m a
teenager.” but GOD said, “I’m going to
use you.” HE used a depressed teenager.
GOD can
use me and GOD can use you. the good
news is GOD wants to use you. first you
must accept responsibility for your own life.
and second you must believe you can change, that GOD can give you the
power to change if you’ll trust HIM.
just a
thought from the front porch…
