2 Corinthians 3:4-6
I have to make this short because I still have massive amounts of homework to do for midterms this week but I have just been epiphanized (making up words is fun). It amazes me how inadequate we think we are to do God's work... or anything for that matter. We are the only ones that shoot ourselves down, because we let people get to us when we are discouraged. But it all depends on who you're listening to. Others might say stuff, but are you listening to what God is telling you? Who deserves to be listened to? Others aren't watching you through God's eyes. There are lots of times that God affirms us through scriptures and sometimes we (myself definitely included and maybe previously the leader of this pack) choose not to listen or brush it off. I get it though, it's like when your mom says you sing so well. She has to say it cause she's your mom. But God means it!
Look at Paul. God is so funny to me sometimes. I love the way He works. I'll bet God looked around and found the worst person to use and changed it all around, just to show that He has no limits. Paul didn't have a crappy faith, or not think much of God. Paul HATED God's people and what they stood for. He made a living destroying (or attempting to destroy) what Jesus was building and God used him to basically start the church! Is this not craziness to anyone else!? And the best part is that Paul didn't do any of it on his own. Jesus transformed him into the man of God he became. Paul didn't have to do anything to qualify himself. If anything, he did everything in his power to DISqualify himself.
Anyway, I really have to get back to homework but the next time you think you shouldn't do something for God because "it's not your thing" or you "don't have that gift," shut up and do it. :)
Don't try to qualify yourself, God has already done that.
