The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember... Noah was a drunk Abraham was too old Isaac was a daydreamer Jacob was a liar Leah was ugly Joseph was abused Moses had a stuttering problem Gideon was afraid Samson was a womanizer Rahab was a prostitute Jeremiah and Timothy were too young David had an affair and was a murderer Elijah was suicidal Isaiah preached naked Jonah ran from God Naomi was a widow Job went bankrupt John the Baptist was homeless Peter denied Christ The Disciples fell asleep while praying Martha worried about everything The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once Zaccheus was too small Paul was too religious Timothy had an ulcer ...AND Lazarus was dead! ...No more excuses now. God can use you to your full potential; because you aren't the message, you are just the messenger. In the Circle of God's love, He is waiting for you. "God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me." I AM A MESS!!!! BUT GOD STILL LOVES ME ANYWAY!!!!! To My Sista, I won’t call you my B* because I respect you. I won’t call u my Nigga because you are intelligent. I won’t call u a Slut because your body is a temple. I won’t call you Ugly because your beauty stems from within but grows on the outside as well I will call you a Lady because you respect yourself. I will call you Studious because you see to it that you are educated. I will call you Responsible because you take responsibility for your actions, and I will call you my Sista because I love you. -As African American women, we must teach each other and help one another grow. We go through the same trials and tribulations, and it is always nice to have someone who you can relate to and that can relate to you as well. As YOUR SISTA, I am here for you, whenever you need me, don’t be afraid to call, whenever, wherever…I have your back!!! I AM A CHRISTIAN When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin." I'm whispering, "I was lost," Now I'm found and forgiven. When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble, And need CHRIST to be my guide. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak, And need HIS strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed, And need GOD to clean my mess. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible, But, GOD believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain, I have my share of heartaches, So I call upon HIS name. When I say... "I am a Christian" I 'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner, Who received GOD's good grace, somehow!!!
