I feel like my struggles and setbacks are finally making sense. Um so today at work I was able to share God with a coworker we got into a deep discussion. I answered everything to the best of my ability and i feel like I planted seeds.

But im nervous bc im not perfect at all. I dont feel like Im the person to do it ( yes i know no one is perfect but i feel Ive sinned too much) im afraid of messing up for God.

Im excited but nervous to be uaed bc im very shy and Im just afraid od saying or doing the wrong thing. Also I know the more you follow God the worse the attacks ( still gonna follow but...) Im afraid of messing up and falling off that narrow path.

But yeah i feel like maybe ...just maybe im going through what i am bc its a buffetting my flesh process. Not getting what I want but what God wills and during his timing.

I just want to bring glory to him.

we are a work in progress always til the end. so you can take comfort in not being perfect, God has great joy in molding us.

Jeremiah 18
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 2 “Go down at once to the potter’s house, and there I will reveal My message to you.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working at the wheel. 4 But the vessel that he was shaping from the clay became flawed in his hand; so he formed it into another vessel, as it seemed best for him to do. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 “O house of Israel, declares the LORD, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay? Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

One of my favorite things about God is how he uses all the 'wrong' ways to accomplish his ends —ordinary, weak, even silly ways. Such it is with his use of ignorant humans to spread the Gospel. If they won't listen to God, maybe they will listen to God through me, because of my inability to accurately represent him.

None of us are perfect but God can use us for His purpose to bring Him glory. We may doubt the way we say things yet maybe God led us to speak in a certain manner to reach that person.
True.

That's great news @Macchiato!

Despite your concerns whether you done everything perfectly or not, the most important thing is this...
I answered everything to the best of my ability and i feel like I planted seeds.

Surely any father would be proud of his daughter for being able to say such a thing with confidence. So this is great news.

I just want to bring glory to him

Amen. Spoken like a true child of Yahweh.
