Patience JohnsonSometimes we want God to use us to do big things when we would not even want to do the basics.
About This Quote
When we pray to the Lord and ask Him to use us to do big things, we often feel that He doesn’t want to use us for what we think is good. We want God to use us only to do big things. Excuse me for saying so, but that’s just not how it works. The Lord doesn’t choose who He wants to use and who He chooses to leave behind.
He uses each of us for what we can do and what we can offer. He knows our capabilities and He will not waste our talents and skills on tasks we cannot do.
