In the first Lord of the Rings movie there's an amazing quote. Lady Galadriel the Lady of the Wood says to Frodo- "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."
It makes me think of those verses in Jeremiah 1:5-10
"'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.'
'Alas, Soverign Lord,' I said, 'I do not know how to speak; I am too young.'
But the Lord said to me, 'Do not say, "I am to young." You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,' declares the Lord.
Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, 'I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."
God uses people. He uses confident and timid people. He uses young and old, smart and dumb, people of all sizes and shapes and types. People with amazing talents and severe handicaps, He can and does use them all.
He will use you too. You just have to be willing and He will use you for great things. Maybe not great in the eyes of the world but great in the eyes of the King. And that is what truly matters.
