sometimes we may feel unworthy. many times we feel we are so dirty and so filled in sin, that we do not belief we can be of God's use. you see that pastor or preacher on the pulpit, and you think to yourself, 'i can never emulate him and be as Christ-like, surely God can't use me to do likewise'. even when God calls us, even when He reveals to us what His plans are in our lives, even when He commands us to GO and be that teacher that missionary or that friend, we hesitate. we doubt God, we tell God we are not ready, we are too unworthy to be used by Him. how can we be made righteous enough.

yet in this time, His word reassures and reaffirms our knowledge of who God is and who We are to this amazing Father. i was reading Romans 3.

Romans 3

v23. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
v24. being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

v28. therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

we have all fallen short of that glory. by deeds, indeed, we can never be made righteous. by the law given to moses, we can never say to have adhered to all the time. no one, not even that pastor, or that God-anointed healer.

but in faith, we are justified freely. only by the grace of God, which no one deserves, because of His love for us, can we stand before the Lord. we are His adopted children; everyone who believes in the salvation. and we are all made righteous and worthy, to be instruments of His purpose, if we are just willing to dedicate this life He gave us back to His purpose.

the question then isn't whether we are worthy, but whether we are willing. whether we are willing to take up that cross and walk that life of Christ. can we will ourselves to stand on the word, and be the light of the world. i read on to romans 4.

Romans 4 - on Abraham

v19. and not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
v20. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
v21. and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
v22. and therefore ''it was accounted to him for righteousness''

the word gives us reassurance that in faith, and without doubt in God's ability. In praise and worship to God, the power God wills to unleash is limitless. Our lives empowered by His support, has no boundaries. we have to remind ourselves how God is not governed by the laws of the world, and He is able in all things. Therefore, we Go Forth in that faith and knowledge. praise be to God.
