There are days when I hesitate to open my mouth about Jesus. I think about all the times I’ve stumbled, the moments I’ve fallen short, and the flaws I still wrestle with. I wonder, “Who am I to tell others about Christ when I’m still learning how to follow Him faithfully?”
But what the Lord has gently reminded me again and again is this: I can still share the Gospel even when I feel unworthy. God never asked for perfection—He asked for obedience. He never waited for us to get everything right before using us; He simply asked for willing hearts that trust His grace more than their guilt.
God Uses the Willing, Not the Perfect
Throughout Scripture, we see God using ordinary, flawed people to accomplish extraordinary things. Moses doubted his ability to speak, yet God used his voice to deliver a nation. Paul once persecuted Christians, yet he became one of the greatest Gospel messengers of all time.
The Bible says, “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty” (1 Corinthians 1:27, KJV).
Your imperfections do not disqualify you—they display God’s mercy. Every time you tell someone about Jesus despite your own struggles, you show them that His grace is greater than your weakness.
The Power of Grace in Our Brokenness
It’s humbling to admit that we’re still being refined, still learning, still growing. But that’s the very place where God’s power shines brightest. “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9, KJV).
When you speak about Jesus while you’re still being healed, your story becomes living proof of His faithfulness. You remind others that God doesn’t wait for perfect people—He meets us right where we are and walks with us through every chapter of transformation.
It’s not your eloquence that brings Him glory. It’s your honesty. It’s your humility. It’s your willingness to say, “I’m still learning, but let me tell you about the One who’s teaching me.”
Practical Ways to Share the Gospel When You Feel Unworthy
- Share Your Story, Not Your Success
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just share what God has done in your life so far. Be real about your struggles and how His grace has carried you through. - Let Scripture Speak Through You
You don’t have to have all the answers. Simply share God’s Word. “So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void” (Isaiah 55:11, KJV). His truth will do the work that your words cannot. - Pray for Courage, Not Perfection
Ask God to give you boldness like the early believers who prayed, “Grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word” (Acts 4:29, KJV). - Let Love Lead the Way
When you approach people with genuine compassion, they will see Jesus through your kindness. “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:35, KJV). - Trust the Holy Spirit to Speak Through You
You’re not alone when you share your faith. Jesus promised, “For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say” (Luke 12:12, KJV).
our Imperfections Don’t Cancel Your Calling
Every time you choose to share the Gospel even when you feel unworthy, you become a living testimony of God’s grace. Your story tells others that the Gospel isn’t about how good we are, but about how good He is.
So keep speaking His name. Keep sharing His love. You may feel broken, but God turns broken lives into channels of living water. You may still be in the middle of your story, but that’s what makes your testimony powerful—it’s real, it’s ongoing, and it points to Jesus.
Let your weakness reveal His strength. Let your story reflect His mercy. And let your voice, imperfect as it may be, become an echo of His perfect love to a world that desperately needs to hear it.
Because if He can use you where you are, He can reach anyone where they are too.
