    Can God Use Me?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 23, 2025
     | 137 views

    God’s work does not depend on perfect people or ideal conditions, but on ordinary men and women who listen and respond faithfully when He speaks, even in uncertain times.

    Jesus teaches us three things about humility: it starts at the bottom, it grows out of gratitude, and it is an act of faith.

    “Oh, it’s hard to be humble . . .!” Have you ever heard that little tune, “Oh, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re prefect in every way?” It’s a little tune I remember from growing up. And I read a couple of stories this week that sort of illustrate this song very well. The first was about Henry ...read more
