This week as what at a point that I beleive as Christian we all get to. The point of feeling like we are not worthy to be used. We slip up, we dont read our word, we bearly pray yet we are pushed to minister when we believe we are not ready. I thank God for friends and mentors in my life who dont let me come down on myself for it sometimes. They share their experiences with me and I soon realise that it isnt only me. Everyone goes throuth this phase of feeling inadequate.
What suck out to me is that 'WE' feel we arent worthy/ready. But really lets think about it. The only person really who can let us know if we are ready or not is God. We dont operate by human standards of readiness or by what man things is to be ready or not. So my friends very short and very simple here it goes. It may seem as if we are not worthy or inadequate but it is not for us or man to dictate whether we are ready or not. Trust that God knows best. After all he does. ;-)
Soooo true!!! :) I think most of us don't feel worthy/ready most of the time!! and we spend a lot of time beating ourselves up over things like missing a day of reading the Bible... which we should try not to miss but it happens.... I think that when we begin to beat ourselves up over it, that is when we begin to move further away from God which can be detrimental to our spiritual lives.... hence the reason we begin to feel inadequate... i think we need to remember that God understands and He knows how badly we feel about it.... and we need to forgive ourselves.... Does this (not reading your Bible one day) count as sin?
