Via an email forward from my uncle:
“The next time you feel bad or useless and are too far from God to do
any good, just remember…Noah was a drunk,
Abraham was too old,
Isaac was a daydreamer,
Jacob was a liar,
Leah was ugly,
Joseph was abused,
Moses had a stuttering problem,
Gideon was afraid,
Sampson had long hair and was a womanizer,
Rahab was a prostitute,
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young,
David had an affair and was a murderer,
Elijah was suicidal,
Isaiah preached naked,
Jonah ran from God,
Naomi was a widow,
Job went bankrupt,
John the Baptist ate bugs,
Peter denied Christ,
the disciples fell asleep while praying,
Martha worried about everything,
the Samaritan woman was divorced – more than once,
Zaccheus was too small,
Paul was too religious,
Timothy had an ulcer…
AND Lazarus was dead!No more excuses now. God can use you to you too.”
