Consider This...

Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ. (Ephesians 3:8 NLT)

Most of us don't view the Apostle Paul as being the “least deserving of all God’s people,” but that’s his own estimation of himself. He understood the great cost to Christ of saving his soul and all the things for which he had been forgiven. The people God uses are the ones that truly grasp their hopeless condition apart from His grace. Until we are humble before Him we really aren’t ready to be used mightily by Him.
