Of all my weaknesses, I think I am most inhibited by my tendency to look at my disabilities instead of having faith in God’s abilities. I am quick to see the physical limitations surrounding me, but slow to remember the miracles He has worked and to recognize the miracles He still works. All throughout Scripture, we see God taking broken people and situations and doing awesome things wth them; but He can only do that with what is handed over to Him. Giving God my broken pieces and having faith that He can fix them is not easy, because we live in a world full of limitations and serve a God who knows none. In mathematical equations, one little number of factor can radically change the result; that is what God loves to do. He loves to come into the picture, pick up our broken pieces and do something awesome with them.
God took a fugitive out of the wilderness and used him to lead a nation out of slavery. God took a shepherd and made him a king. God took a bunch of fisherman, common laborers, and a tax collector and used them to change the world. God came into our broken, sinful world and made a way for us to get to Heaven, instead of the eternity in hell we deserve. He beckons me each day to follow Him. Nobody wants to be pulled out of their comfort zone; but when God is leading, it’s always to a better place than where we are standing. If I stay behind, it is because I love myself better than I love Him. God changed the world with broken people made whole in His hands; I want to be a part of that!
