FOOD FOR THOUGHT
“To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.”
– Reba McEntyre

Bubba went to a Texas tent revival and listened to the sermon the Evangelist was preaching. After a while, the preacher asked that anyone with needs come forward to be prayed over.
Bubba got in line and when it was his turn the preacher said, "Bubba, what do you want me to pray about?"
Bubba said, "Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing."
So the preacher put one finger in Bubba's ear and the other hand on top of Bubba's head and prayed for a while.
After a few minutes, he removed his hands and said, "Bubba, how's your hearing now?"
Bubba replied, "I don't know preacher, it ain't until next Wednesday."
Hmm!
God wants to use YOU!
The next time you feel as though GOD can't use you, just remember:
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
Mary Magdalene was... (well, you know)
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer
. . . AND
Lazarus was dead!
Now!!! No more excuses!!!
God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger! Have a great day!!!
The SON is shining and He can certainly use you!
