Do you have any limitations or weaknesses that make you doubt God can use you – or would want to? If so, describe them and why they make you doubt God can use you.
To me, my greatest limitation is how easily I’m tempted to depend on what others think of me. I want so badly to just care what God thinks and to let Him and who I am in Him define me, but I find that I’m very tempted by the approval of others.
I feel much like Gideon – the weakest of my clan. I sometimes feel like I’m the one who couldn’t get anything right: single mom, kids with health issues, financial issues, physically not strong (weak stomach that is highly affected by stress), emotional, etc. And I’ll be honest and say I have a hard time understanding why God would want to use someone like me, but I no longer doubt that He can because He has so many times. I have moments of doubt where, for example, I feel like He can’t shine through me in the classroom because of all the mandates I have to follow, but God is God and He never ceases to amaze me at how He can.
