Why do you question yourself about being capable of serving God when all God wants is our availability not our ability? Anyone who has surrendered their own life to Jesus has the ability for it is in our witness of Jesus in our own lives that draws others to Gods calling.
Many feel insignificant and intimidated by those who seem to know scripture as they could never speak the word with the knowledge that others have, but this should not be anyone’s excuse. Many people can quote the whole Bible, but yet have no true understanding of what they are quoting as many Biblical teachings come by traditional interpretations instead of knowledge given by the Holy Spirit.
As a child of God what is prohibiting you from speaking to others? Could it be that you are shy in front of others or you are scared of what others would think of you? I know you are not ashamed of the Gospel or the name of Jesus, but a fear of speaking to others overwhelms you especially if they ask you questions you can not answer. I’ve been ask many questions that I could not answer, but what I do is tell those who ask that I do not know the answer, but I will look it up and get back to them and this shows others that you too are still learning as we will never exhaust Gods word as we continue to learn something new every time we study. By others asking me questions challenges me to dig even deeper into the word and I love to be challenged in this way.
There is no one greater than another in the kingdom of God as God is no respecter of person and loves all his creation with an unconditional love that allows anyone to answer his call of salvation no matter whom they may be or what they have done. We are Gods mouthpiece here on Earth and it is only by the Holy Spirit speaking through us that we can reach others just by simply giving our own testimony how we came to accept Jesus into our own lives. We all have a testimony and a personal relationship with Jesus so just start out by giving what you already know because we can never give above our own knowledge and this is where our ability becomes our availability.
