There's no such thing as perfect people.

I love that scripture is full of diverse and messy lives that God uses in BIG ways... especially when I am feeling insecure because of the different things in my life. Whether it is past sin, shortcomings, or even just the way I view myself.. there are always people I can look to in scripture and see how God uses every single circumstance and insecurity in our lives for His glory. If you notice, he rarely uses perfect people. Actually, God has only used one perfect person, Jesus. Just look at Noah, David, Thomas, Paul, the list goes on and on!

What encouragement for us today, friends. As Natalie Grant sings, "There's no such thing perfect people. There's no such thing as a perfect life. So come as you are broken and scarred. Life up your heart and be amazed and be change by a perfect God". I don't know what your insecurities are... I don't know what you struggle with... but God knows and he understands. And most of all, he wants you to seek him and let those things be used for His fame.

I'm seeking to offer up my insecurities to God so that he may be able to use them in a mighty way. It's not comfortable and it often leaves me feeling even more insecure but I want my life to be a story of God's glory.. not my comfort or security.

Join me. Offer your insecurity to God and let him radically use your life for His renown.
