A lot of us don't feel we have anything to offer God. We think we have no talent, we don't have a degree in a certain field, we make mistakes all the time...the list can go on and on. When God called Moses, several times Moses responded, and I am paraphrasing..."Really God? Me, you want me? What do I have to offer?" We do the same thing when God calls us to do something. You may not have said it, but you probably thought it, "Really God? You want me? I have nothing to offer." I thought the same thing. I thought He would use me in an area that I had talent and knowledge. And while I use those things in ministry, that is not where He has called me. He called me into counseling and teaching, something I never thought I was capable of, in fact I even said that I didn't think God wanted me to teach. The Holy Spirit got a hold of me and since then He has used me to teach in many areas. You see, God doesn't care how much knowledge you have or don't have, how many degrees you have or don't have, or how much talent you have or don't have. What He cares about is a willing heart and a willing mind, someone who isn't afraid to say "yes God, I'll do whatever you ask of me." Stop looking at what you don't have, and start looking at what you do have, God!
Take Away: Stop giving God all the reasons you think you can't do what He is asking you to do, and start saying, "God, I don't have the knowledge, the talent, or the strength to do what you are asking me, but You are with me and that is all I need, so lets do it!"
