Who am I?

Who am I, that You should use me Lord? I am not clean, I am not blameless, I am unworthy. I don't know any Bible verses, or worship songs. All I know is that I am here. There is no way that You could use someone like me.
You know who you are? You, my dear friend, are a beloved child of God and a powerful tool in His kingdom. Sadly though, I feel that many of us underestimate ourselves and think along the lines that this blog opened with. I have heard so many people say, especially when we're on the topics of missions and burdens, that they don't think that Christ can use them. That they aren't...how to put this... religious enough? And hearing this breaks my heart because I know that the Lord has huge plans for them already. Just look at the first missionary that Jesus sent out. You would think that he would be a man full of Godly wisdom and someone who would know the gospels by heart, right? Haha, well, as always, Jesus is full of surprises. He sends out a man, who had previously been possessed by a demon named Legion, to witness to his village (Mark 5:1-20). Yeah. Jesus comes to this village, heals this man, and then sends him to go be a missionary in his village immediately after. I bet you anything that the man didn't gain some vast well of godly knowledge within that short period of time. And yet God still used him to spread the Word. How much more would the Lord be able to use You then?

I've lately had the pleasure of reading "I Would Die for You" by Brent and Deanna Higgins about their son BJ. BJ lived an incredible, but short life of 15 years. He accepted Christ in elementary school. He started witnessing in second grade. How prepared do you think he was? How prepared do you think you would have been? How prepared do you think you are now?

My point is that God can use anybody. You don't have to be the most "spiritual" person in the world. In fact, sometimes it's better if you aren't "spiritual", but rather just authentic. When the Lord first used me, I was struggling with depression and insecurity, and I was definitely NOT in a good place with God. But He still used me. What makes you think that He can't use you as well?
