Has God called you to active duty in His kingdom?

Never fear, He will provide the equipment you need to do your duty.

But God doesn't require a job interview. He doesn't hire and fire like most bosses, because He's more our Dad than our Boss.

God doesn't look at financial gain or loss. He's not prejudiced or partial, not judging, grudging, sassy, or brassy, not deaf to our cry, not blind to our need.

As much as we try, God's gifts are free. We could do wonderful things for wonderful people, and still not be... Wonderful.

Satan says, You're not worthy. Satan looks back and sees our mistakes.
God looks back and sees the cross. He doesn't calculate what you did.
If it's repented sin, it's not even in the record. Sure. There are lots of reasons why God shouldn't want us.

But if we are utterly in love with Him, if we hunger for Him more than our next breath, He'll use us in spite of who we are, where we've been, or what we look like.

Step out of your limitations into the illimitable nature of who God is.

1 Cor 25-31 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."
