Amy took a moment and shared two stories with us about how she sometimes feels inadequate in what she is called to do. I think sometimes as Christians we think we have to be perfect, and admitting our weaknesses and struggles makes it seem like we are not good enough. It was a nice change of pace to see someone who could be transparent in her weakness, and to see how she could still overcome despite that. She said that God uses us not just inspite of our weaknesses, but also because of our weaknesses. She emphasized several times that the devil is a liar, and we have to choose not to believe what he says about us. She followed up with Matthew 23:12: "But if you're content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty."
Don't let the enemy convince you of his lies. Believe what God says about you. Be yourself.
