Not Qualified

Who Do You Say that I Am

36
Not Qualified

I made some choices on the past

They render me "Not Qualified"

To spread a message

The hypocritical Christian

Is something I fear the most

I can't, won't, and don't

Claim to be perfect

Most times - I'm not even good

But would God use that against me?

Forgives me but - Refuses to use me

I believe in the God of Moses

Moses was an orphan - a murderer

Yet God choose the killer

To be a Fulfiller, performing miracles

Leading his people - making rivers

Flow red

The God of David

The God of the shepherd boy turned King

A terrible father and adulterer

From the start

Even with iniquity and wrong doings

We remember him as a man of

"The Gods own heart"

Mary Magdalene was a prostitute

Living her life - going the wrong direction

Matthew was a tax collector

Lowest of the low

Yet still

They both talked, walked and witnessed

Christ's protection

Did God choose the Pharisees

Self-righteous who were

Pompous and pretentious

Or did he choose cowardly Peter

And persecuting Paul to

spread the message

Of His redemption

These heroes in the bible

Leaned not on themselves,

But on God

Meaning God is - He is mighty

Can God use me?

A broken mess

Can God use her or him or you?

The answer is yes

God can and will use anybody

Even if the only time you touch the pew

Is in Christmas Day before

The potluck stew

God doesn't speak only to the preacher

He speaks to all who are willing to listen

God is in a different business

Believing in the Lord

Is not living a perfect life

Always doing right

It is letting His light shine in

He will take your broken last

And create a more hopeful future

Christ did not die for perfection

He died for the hopeless and sick

He served the lost and saved the sick

In the end

It is not about

Me

Or you

It is about God

With Him it is never about

Who you are now

But who you will become

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
