Now Is Not The Time

We are very good at making excuses as to why God can't use us in ministry. Now is not the time for more excuses, but for action. God desires to use you at your full potential. Just remember you aren't the message; you are the messenger. So think about these simple things I've compiled and put them to good use. Stop making excuses and just do what God wants you to do.
-Dear God, I have a problem, and it's me. 
-Realize God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts. 
-Understand that growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional. 
-Recognize the key to happiness is Jesus and His door is always open. 
-Your silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted. 
-Do the math and count your blessings, not your shortcomings. 
-Your faith is the ability to not panic. 
-When you laugh every day, its like inner jogging. 
-If you worry, you didn't pray, but if you prayed, don't worry. 
-Remember as a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday. 
-Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape. 
-The most important things in your house are the people. 
He who dies with the most toys is still dead regardless. 
-A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. 
-When we get tangled up in our problems, be still so God can untangle the mess.
No more excuses-Resist the devil, rebuke your doubts, and revitalize your vision. If God is for you, who can be against you!
