Golf Ball

I would like to share what I came to learn just couple of weeks ago about How God use imperfect people for His glory.

All too often we put in mind that God only use perfect people. Just like a big corporation who hires only skillful people, we adopt the thought that if we’re imperfect, God won’t use us. I have to say this is an erroneous thought.

Here are some Biblical facts to proof that God also use imperfect people. Noah once drunk, but God still use him and protect His family and made them be the only people alive after the flood. Abraham was too old to have kid but God use him to show His glory that He can do what we think is impossible. David committed adultery and even set up a murder but, see, God uses him and even named him ‘the man after God’s own heart’.  Apostle Paul killed many believers, yet God still use Him to preach in many nations and even write almost half of the books in New Testament. Not to mention the story of Gideon, Elijah, Jeremiah, Peter and other disciples of Jesus, I believe that above examples could open our eyes to see that even we are imperfect, God can still use us.

Let me come to the fact that is used as an analogy. A Golf Ball. Have you ever think the reason why a golf ball has dimples instead of being perfectly round without those dimples? I personally think that if a golf ball have a perfectly round surface, it supposed to go further and quicker. The fact is: it’s not. I came to know the fact that the experts intentionally design these dimples to create wind resistance that enable a golf ball to fly even further. What can we learn from this golf ball? We can learn the fact that even we are imperfect and have many ‘dimples’, it is those dimples that causes us to gooo further in life.

I came to believe that God can use what we called ‘our weakness’ to bring Him glory. It is not that we have to ignore our weakness, instead, we have to acknowledge our weakness and imperfections, not to go around feeling beaten up, but to be thankful that when we are weak God can performs His greatest feast.

Here I come to the point that is most relaxing; the fact that we all have been equipped for the race God has design for us. Take heed of this, if God wants to create us with different look and different personality, He will. The thing is, if He created us just the way we are today, it is because He has a specific magnificent plan for us. Let’s rest in the thought that We are fearfully and wonderfully made and that God has never made mistake when He created us.

To finish, I’d like to say, Quit over analyzing yourself. Stop looking on what’s wrong with us, instead, take heed of how far we go, how far we accomplish, and how great God has been in our life. Don’t let devil intimidate you with the thought that you are not worthy in God’s sight. Lastly, Put on the breastplate of God’s approval!

God sees your availability instead of your ability.

cheerio!! :)
