God can't use us because we've got it all together in life. Rather, He can use us precisely because we don't.
That is such a relief for me to remember, particularly because today is one of those days when I don't feel as if I have anything together.
At the times when we feel empty, at the end of our strength and our everything, we can return to God's words to the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (NIV).
And, with Paul, we can affirm that "when I am weak, then I am strong" (v. 10), because that is when we are completed with God's great strength.
Take us, use us, Lord, just as we are.
