You don’t have to be the most talented, confident, or impressive person in the room for God to do something meaningful through your life. Stop disqualifying yourself for being human. Your willingness has always mattered more than your perfection.
Angel: She thinks she’s too ordinary to be used by you.
God: I know.
Angel: She looks at other people’s lives and wonders why they seem so much more gifted, more confident, more qualified.
God: She’s forgotten something.
I meet them exactly where they are, and we grow from there
Jacqueline Whitney
Angel: What?
God: I’ve never been looking for extraordinary people. I’ve always been looking for willing hearts. The world is impressed by talent. I’m drawn to faithfulness. I don’t ask people to become someone else before I use them. I meet them exactly where they are, and we grow from there.
Angel: So she’s enough?
God: She always has been. She doesn’t need to become extraordinary for me to work through her. She only needs to keep saying yes.
