A good friend told me about a time when he was asked to sing at a church service. As he looked out over the congregation, he started to feel inferior when he saw so many other people who had previously sung in worship. However, after the service, a wonderful woman complimented him on his singing, saying it was “one of the best testimonies” she had ever heard. He related to her his feelings of inadequacy as he compared himself to the other vocalists. She responded that God is not as much concerned with our ability as with our availability. God is pleased when we are willing to use what we have to serve regardless of how unskilled we think we are. I am in a wheelchair due to a disability. This was a good story for me as I struggle with these same feelings and compare myself with others constantly. But my disability does not affect my ability to serve God. God knows our limitations and desires only that we are prepared and willing to go where God leads and to do God’s will. Sandra Vaughan (Pennsylvania, USA)
