So you see, it doesn’t matter what you look like, your marital status, your weakness, or your circumstances. God says in 2 Corinthians 12:9, NLT My grace is sufficient and that God’s power shows up best in our weakness

1 Peter 4:10, NIV Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms

God doesn’t call the equipped; he equips the called.

It’s not about our ability; It’s about our availability.

In closing this morning, I would be remiss if I let you dwell in the attitude that this is all about you, be mindful in the same way God can use you; he can and will use others too. 

God will use the most unlikely individuals to be a blessing to you.  There are some who are equipped and have made themselves available to be used by God to bless you, and they don’t always come wrapped in a perfect package; they may seem like the least likely ones that could be a blessing to you. Treat everyone with the love of Christ. Don’t miss out on your blessing by making assumptions about another.
