There was a time when I wondered if God could really use someone like me. Talking to people isn’t always easy and sometimes insecurity whispers that we’re not qualified, not knowledgeable enough, or not bold enough. Maybe you have been through some things which broke your confidence and self-esteem.
But God has been teaching me that He isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for willing hearts.
Remember, it is the Holy Spirit who changes hearts, not us. Our responsibility is simply to be faithful and willing.
Share what Jesus has done in your life. If you don’t know the answer to a question, it’s okay to say, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out.” People appreciate honesty far more than pretending to know everything.
You don’t have to be a theologian. You don’t have to be a famous preacher. You don’t have to have all the answers. God can use your kindness, your compassion, your testimony, your smile, your listening ear, and your willingness to love people the way Christ loves them. Just be yourself.
Our world is filled with people who are hurting. Many are carrying burdens no one else can see. They are searching for hope, encouragement, love, peace, someone who genuinely cares. Sometimes, the greatest ministry isn’t standing behind a pulpit, it’s taking a moment to encourage someone, pray with them, or remind them that Jesus loves them.
If you’ve ever felt insecure about sharing Jesus, I want to encourage you: don’t let fear stop you from doing what God has placed on your heart. The Holy Spirit will help you. Just be yourself.
If God can use ordinary people throughout the Bible, He can certainly use you and me.
May God bless you, strengthen you, and remind you that He delights in using ordinary people for His extraordinary purposes.
““And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’” - 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV)
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” - 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
