What's your excuse?
Moses had plenty of them. He claimed to be a nobody. The Lord convinced him that he was a leader to free the people. And look what happened.
Peter was with Jesus during His ministry. Yet when asked if he knew Jesus, Peter disowned our Lord not once, not twice, but three times. God forgave him. He went on to preach on the day of Pentecost. Many were baptized.
Saul plotted evil things against Christians. He persecuted them. Yet while traveling down a road with plans of evil, God softened his heart. There went Saul's excuse.
I know I am not worthy. I sin. I want to hide in shame. I am stubborn.
But if God can take these people with all of their faults and imperfections and mold them into people with hearts on fire with His love, God can do the same for me.
If I just let Him.
No excuses.
I know I am not worthy--but He died for me anyway.
I know I sin--but He has forgiven me.
I know I have struggled with a hardened heart at times--but He has softened it with His love.
I am all out of excuses. Whatever excuse I think I have for not trusting God, for not living a life of service for Him, was taken care of years ago--on a cross!
