I’m a Christian who didn’t wait until marriage.
I’m a Christian who has battled, and still battles anger.
I’m a Christian who has put people down.
I’m a Christian who has lied and manipulated.
I’m a Christian who ran from God for most of my adult life.
I’m NOT a Christian because I’ve got it all together or because I can check all the right boxes. I’m a Christian because I know I can’t do this life without God’s grace every single day.
I’m a broken man learning what obedience looks like and watching God work in ways I never expected.
Before my grandpa passed, he gave my dad some advice about ministry. He said, “If God can make a donkey talk, He can make you talk.”
Honestly, that’s exactly how I feel sometimes, like a donkey talking. Because for some reason God has seen fit to put me in front of people to talk about Him. It doesn’t make sense to me. And anyone who has known me for a while is probably just as shocked and confused as I am! But obedience takes faith, and I trust there’s a reason God is putting me where He’s putting me.
I’m unbelievably grateful that He saved me. I still don’t fully understand why He wants to use me.
But the truth is, God has always used broken people. And if He can redeem a life like mine, He can use you. Just takes a willingness to be obedient and uncomfortable. He’s got you no matter what.
