The more I understood what God was calling me to do, the more undaunted I grew. I wanted to do for others what had been done for me. I, who had been rescued from a hospital where I was left unwanted and unnamed, could help rescue others from the same kind of hopelessness. I could help them be valued, loved, and restored. I could help orchestrate a future for them.
No sooner had I felt so inspired to stop and stoop then I immediately began to think of one hundred reasons not to, one hundred reasons to feel daunted.
Isn’t that how we all are? We’re roused to do something, and then we immediately forget the one reason why we are capable of doing anything at all. When I discovered the magnitude of the problem of human trafficking, I was so overwhelmed that I began to compile a list of all the reasons why a 40-year-old mother of two living on the other side of the world could not possibly do anything that would significantly change the statistics. And my list sounded just like everyone else’s.
- But God, I don’t know enough about the issue.
- But God, I’m not educated enough to get involved.
- But God, I’m not skilled enough.
- But God, I already have enough on my plate.
- But God, I have a family.
- But God, it’s too dangerous.
- But God, I’m too old to start something new.
- But God, I’m too young to be taken seriously.
- But God, this will tip the scales of balance in my life.
And on the list goes.
Why do we disqualify ourselves before we ever even get started? It’s time we understand that God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.
