Do you ever feel like your past disqualifies you from serving the Lord?

Nancy DeMas Walgamuth says,

God can actually use the things that you've done or the things that were done to you over which you had no control.

God can actually use those failures as means of grace,

means of getting you to Jesus and means of helping you point others to Jesus.

of value or worth out of my story?
