There are a lot of people in the Body of Christ who believe that God will never use them for anything. That's not the case. Each and every person on the face of this Earth has a purpose to fulfill. You may not believe it or feel it but that doesn't mean it isn't true.
Some feel as though they don't have enough money to do the things God wants them to do; that doesn't matter to God. God is a God of abundance. He will bless you just so you can be a blessing to other people. Some people may feel as though they don't look the part. God isn't concerned about your outer appearance. That's what man looks at and God is not a man, His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. God is concerned with what your inside looks like; what your spirit looks like. When you come to know Jesus and yield to Him, letting Him work in you, you can walk in a room full of beauty queens and because of the Spirit shining on you, will make you the most beautiful and radiant person in the entire room. Some may feel as though they were born into the wrong family. That doesn't matter. At the end of the day you are God's child, you are apart of His Heavenly family. Just take a look at Gideon.
In Judges 6, the Lord calls upon Gideon to be a judge for Israel, to deliver them out of Midian's hand. The angel of the Lord appears to him in verse 12 and says, "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior." By verse 15 Gideon begins to come up with an excuse as to why he could not be the one to be used to save Israel; he says, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in the Manasseh, and I am the least in my family."
You see, Gideon was looking at things with a natural eye, instead of a spiritual eye. If he had of looked at the situation with his spiritual eye, then he would have known that it doesn't matter what situation or circumstance you are in on this Earth, if God calls upon you to do a task, you better believe that it will be accomplished. God doesn't send His word into this Earth for nothing, as it says in Isaiah 55:11,"So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." And it also doesn't matter how people perceive you on this earth, whether you are considered least or great in their eyes, God uses the foolish things to shame the wise, 1 Corinthians 1:27"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."
Don't walk around downcast with your spirits low, feeding into the lie that you are good for nothing, no! You are good for something, something far greater than your wildest dreams or that your mind could even imagine. Begin to go to God and seeks His face. He'll begin to show you who you really are and what your purpose is. And remember, it doesn't matter how this world views you, how people view you or how you see yourself, all that matters is what God's plan is for your life and it will be accomplished. Believe and trust in Him! You are not forgotten! God Bless!
