A FEW THOUGHTS AND SCRIPTURES…

If something is in God's timing and will, we can do it through His strength, not our own…
Philippians 4:13
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

Man is fallen and incapable…we cannot possibly do anything fruitful ourselves…it's God working through us to make this possible…
Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

Just when we think that God can't possibly use a person like us, remember, God's not finished with us yet:
Philippians 1:6
"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

We can do nothing fruitful on our own. Seeking Jesus first (and not service first) is the key. Sitting at the feet of Jesus first and foremost before we get caught up in other things is crucial:
John 15:5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

When we start to think we are too weak for God to possible use us, like I have thought about myself before, remember, it's Him working through you and me, it's Christ's power, not our own. The devil wants to make us feel like we are worthless and can't possibly be used by God, but that's a lie from hell:
2 Corinthians 12:9
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."

Love you God bless you!
