The Wait is Over

Too many of us are waiting…

Waiting for the perfect me.

Waiting for the perfect time.

Waiting for the perfect training.

Waiting for the perfect qualification.

Waiting for the perfect endorsement.

Waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Waiting for the perfect situation.

Waiting for the perfect invitation.

Waiting for the perfect place.

Waiting for the perfect role.

Waiting, waiting waiting.

As long as you’re waiting for the perfect______________, nothing will happen.

Why?

Because we’re imperfect.

Here’s the good news: God chooses, calls, empowers, and uses imperfect people.

People like…

Jeremiah—who thought he was too young & felt like he had nothing to say.

Deborah—a woman who lived in a time when women weren’t really allowed to lead.

Moses—a murderer, stutterer, a guy who felt like a failure.

Abraham—thought he was too old.

Rahab—a prostitute.

Gideon—a guy who struggled with low self esteem.

Mary—a girl, a teenager

Matthew—a tax collector.

Peter—a blue collar fisherman who swore like a sailor.

Timothy—half Greek, half Jewish

Paul—former persecuted of the church.

God chooses, calls, empowers, and uses imperfect people, young people, old people, white collar people, blue collar people, prostitutes, murderers, has-beens, and failures.

And, oh yeah… I forgot one more on the list: YOU.

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2.10 NLT)

“…From his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.”
(Ephesians 3.16 NLT)

God chooses, calls, empowers, and uses imperfect people—people like me, and people like you.

The wait is over!
