God's Gifts

I prayed this morning with a beautiful young woman. I am not sure how old she is but probably 17 or 18. She said that she knew God's calling on her life was in the area of leadership and other young people were coming to her with their problems. She said the problem with that was that she had problems of her own that she didn't know how to deal with. I told her to believe in what she had received from the Lord, then act on it. God does not call only perfect, prepared servants. He prepares the called; He doesn't call the prepared. Whatever He calls us to He will equip us for. We miss out on many opportunities to do His will because we think that we are not worthy, not ready, not smart enough, courageous enough, old enough, good enough. If He has placed a burden on our hearts of a person to speak to or of a task that He needs us to do, then we must risk trusting Him that He will do what He said He would do: He'll never leave us or forsake us. He is looking for a people to show Himself mighty through. We just need to step up. He has prepared the very resources that we need for the task He, Himself, has prepared.
