This is Max Lakato.

If God chose only righteous people to change the world, you could count them all on one finger, Jesus.

Instead, he included others in his plan.

Sinners, the ungodly, the imperfect, God used and uses people to change the world.

People, crooks and creeps and lovers and liars, he uses them all.

If you ever wonder how God can use you to make a difference in your world, just look at those

he has already used and take heart. No matter who you are or what you've done, God can use you.

Because you're imperfect, you can speak of making mistakes. Because you're a

sinner, you can speak of forgiveness. God restores the broken and the brittle, then parades them before

the world as trophies of his love and strength. And when the world sees the ungodly turn godly,

they know God must love them too. God can use you, my friend. This is Max

Lakato.
