Letting God Work Through Your Weaknesses
Have you ever felt like you’re not “good enough” to be used by God?
You’ve made mistakes. You’re still struggling. You don’t always feel strong, confident, or spiritual enough.
But here’s the truth:
God doesn’t call the perfect — He empowers the willing.
Throughout Scripture, He used broken, flawed, ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plan.
Here are 3 truths to remind you that perfection is not a prerequisite for purpose.
1️⃣ God Uses Imperfect People on Purpose
Moses stuttered.
Rahab had a past.
David messed up big time.
Peter denied Jesus.
And yet — God called them, equipped them, and moved through them.
“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
💡 Your weakness is not a liability.
It’s a doorway for His power to shine.
2️⃣ God Sees Your Heart, Not Just Your History
We disqualify ourselves based on our past, but God looks deeper.
“The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
— 1 Samuel 16:7
He’s not asking for perfection — just surrender.
And He can do a lot with a surrendered heart.
3️⃣ God Uses You in the Middle, Not Just After the Mess
You don’t have to “arrive” spiritually to be effective.
Sometimes your most powerful ministry comes from the places you’re still walking through — because that’s where grace is fresh and relatable.
If you’re waiting until you’re perfect to serve, encourage, or share your story… you’ll be waiting forever.
Step out now — God walks with you.
🕯️ Final Thoughts
Stop waiting to be “ready enough” or “holy enough.”
If God only used perfect people, nothing would get done.
Your flaws don’t disqualify you — they make room for His glory.
Let Him use you… right where you are.
🙏 A Simple Prayer
“Lord, I don’t feel perfect, and sometimes I don’t feel usable.
But I believe You can work through my weakness.
Use my story. Use my struggles.
Use me — just as I am.
Amen.”
