Depend on Him

"We may sometimes be tempted to think God has chosen us to serve him and others in his world because of our present or potential strengths. God is a talent spotter. He sees things in us that he can use and develop and so invites us to be part of his purposes. There is some truth in this. God does encourage us in our talents and grants us competence so as to do his work. He does not see us as worthless rubbish. And yet it is perhaps a more profound truth that he chooses us because of our weaknesses. He looks around for some weak person and settles on that person. Why? Because such weakness will prompt such a person to depend more on his power." - David Reay
