nobodys wanted! please contact god if interested

​How does your resume look?  Are you qualified?  Can God really use you if you are just a NOBODY with nothing to offer.  With possibly the self-esteem of DIRT in a RUT, too poor, too dumb, and too insecure.. how/why would God use you?

Frankly, I know I AM NOBODY.  I am a former computer programmer, who recently sold my sports management business of 8 years.  I am currently unemployed, 58 years old and don't like it one bit.

Don't get me wrong, I am not lazy. I have worked jobs in the past, and will again as needed to make ends meet.  I have even been the PAPER BOY (for God?) delivering the daily newspaper.   
I have even received actual US mail declaring I was nobody.  Well, actually it was addressed to Jeffrey DEAD Larson instead of Jeffrey DEAN Larson.  Hey, I'm not dead yet! 

So how can God use me?  How can he use you?  I mean, its not like any of us are MOSES (a murderer), ABRAHAM (a liar), DAVID (an adulterer & murderer), PAUL (the persecutor of the church), or PETER (who denied Jesus 3 times).  Hmmm, suddenly I feel a tad ​better about myself.

But still here we are.. NOBODYS 4 JESUS!  This sounds more like a label for a Christian support group than a battle cry to serve God.  What are any of us without God anyways?  BUT the better question is.. WHO ARE WE WITH GOD?  What is possible? 

Don't sell yourself short, or trivialize what you could do for God's kingdom.  That would be selling short the possiblity of being truly blessed and used by God.

So with this I will leave you with my simple goals of Jeff the Nobody.  In the moments that make up everyday.

• Love God with all your heart
• care for others in all you do. 
• be obedient to God first

Though riches and fame are not likely our reward as nobodies, we can be assureed to be blessed as OBEDIENT NOBODYS 4 JESUS.

Have a great day.. blessed and used by God.  Smile lots.. and enjoy life !

Jeff (NOBODY) Larson
