"Perhaps we all see ourselves as a little less than we are. Unworthy. Untalented. Nothing special. Lacking the heart, mind, resources, charisma, or stature to be of much use to God. You say you’re not perfect? You’re not good enough? Welcome to the club! You may be just the person God is looking for. God doesn’t need you to be exceptional, let alone perfect. He will take your talents and abilities and multiply them—even though they may seem scarce as a few loaves and fishes. If you trust Him and are faithful, He will magnify your words and actions and use them to bless and minister to multitudes!"
