I recently spoke at a ladies brunch and I shared about Queen Esther.
As I prepared and studied to speak for that day, something stood out to me and it was this;
God has a plan…..Always and God’s plans involve us, me, YOU!
God’s plans are not hindered, altered, or affected by our flaws, inabilities, or failures.
God knew and knows today that He is working with sheep, and we like sheep go astray.
We fail, make wrong choices and have those things in our life that we deem as inabilities.
God already knows this about His people, and yet He still chooses to use us.
When I read the Bible, I find that God never uses the “perfect”, have it all together type of people.
He uses the people that He has to dust off, heal and mend/repair……the people that have little to no self-confidence,
minimal skills, and/or no abilities.
Have you ever heard the saying that “God doesn’t call the qualified, but He qualities the called”? Soooo true!!!
I love to shop and I love a good deal! When I walk into a store, I always seek out the clearance section first.
I get so excited when I find something awesome and don’t have to pay full price for it.
I don’t mind a crack or scratch in a vase…a missing button, a stain, or a jacked-up zipper.
The bookcases in our home are filled with what I call treasures either from a thrift store or the clearance section,
that I have brought home and repaired.
I would rather buy 2 or 3 shirts, that I have to “fix or repair” than 1 shirt at full price.
I get more bang for my buck! Not to mention, the sense of pride I get from fixing or mending something.
In my world, I think that’s where God likes to shop too.
He goes straight for the people in the clearance section….the people that are stained, broken and in need of repair.
He loves and specializes in cleaning, mending and repairing!
So if you feel like you’ve been placed on the clearance rack, get happy about that…because God loves you and wants you specifically!
There’s no stain, or break that He can’t handle or use.
God has a plan and it involves beautiful YOU!!!
