No More Excuses

"The next time you think you have an excuse

why God can't use you, consider the following:

Noah was a drunkard,

Abraham was too old,

Isaac was a daydreamer,

Jacob was a liar,

Leah was ugly,

Joseph was abused,

Moses was a murderer,

Gideon was afraid,

Samson had long hair,

Rahab was a prostitute,

Timothy was too young,
David had an illicit affair,

Elijah was suicidal,

Isaiah preached naked,

Job was bankrupt,

John the Baptist ran around in a loin cloth,

Peter was hot-tempered,

John was self-righteous.

The disciples fell asleep while praying,

Martha fretted about everything,
Mary Magdalene was demon-possessed,

the boy with the fish and five rolls of bread was too obscure,

the Samaritan woman was divorced more than once,
Zacchaeus was too small,

Paul was too religious,

and Lazarus was dead.

No more excuses!"
