different?



So, i've been in thought about different things
such as,
why do we look write people off because they're "different"?
why do we try to fit everyone in a certain when we were all created by our amazing creator so uniquely?
it just amazes me how people can go so unnoticed and can slip away from a crowd and no one notice.
thats when i think of Jesus.
and how He reached those "outcasts" and He to those that were unwanted
those that were different. not the ones that "had it all together" oh no He
reached out to those who were broken and shattered.
this is a list of people who had problems:



  • Abraham lied.
  • Sarah laughed at God’s promises.
  • Moses stuttered.
  • David’s armor didn’t fit.
  • John Mark was rejected by Paul.
  • Timothy had ulcers.
  • Hosea’s wife was a prostitute.
  • Amos’ only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
  • Jacob was a liar.
  • David had an affair.
  • Solomon was too rich.
  • Jesus was too poor.
  • Abraham was too old.
  • David was too young.
  • Peter was afraid of death.
  • Lazarus was dead.
  • John was self-righteous.
  • Naomi was a widow.
  • Paul was a murderer.
  • So was Moses.
  • So was David.
  • Jonah ran from God.
  • Miriam was a gossip.
  • Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
  • Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
  • Elijah was burned out.
  • John the Baptist was a loudmouth.
  • Martha was a worry-wart.
  • Mary may have been lazy.
  • Samson had long hair.
  • Noah got drunk.
  • Did I mention Moses had a short fuse?
  • So did Peter, Paul and lots of folks.

but God used them what more can He do with us?

i know sometimes we feel inadequate and insignificant
but He knows us.
He saw it all along and still He chose YOU.
