God doesn’t see flaws—He sees purpose.


In a world that silences imperfection, remember this: Moses stuttered, but God still chose him to speak to Pharaoh. The same God who used a trembling voice to free a nation can use your weakness to change the world. Don’t hide your flaws—let God use them for His glory.

This message will open your eyes to the beauty of imperfection, remind you that strength isn’t found in perfection but in obedience, and awaken the faith to speak even when your voice shakes.

👉 Watch until the end—this might be the reminder you didn’t know your heart needed.

1. The Unexpected Call of an Imperfect Servant

When Moses stood before the burning bush, he wasn’t the polished speaker the world might expect. He had excuses, he had fear, he even claimed he was “slow of speech and tongue.” (Exodus 4:10) Yet, God chose him. He didn’t wait for Moses to have perfect oratory or flawless credentials. Instead God looked at his heart—his willingness—and said, “I will be with you.”

This truth is a lifeline: God uses imperfect people. We see over and over in Scripture that broken, flawed, and hesitant individuals are transformed into vehicles of divine purpose. As one commentary puts it, “God’s purposes are not hindered by human imperfections or mistakes.” pastors.ai+2markcole.ca+2

And if God could call Moses—the reluctant stutterer, the one who fled, the one who kept making excuses—He can call you.

2. Why God Chooses Imperfect Vessels

You might ask, “Why does God use the broken rather than the flawless?” There are several profound reasons:

  • Because there’s only one perfect — and that’s Christ. All others, as Scripture says, “have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Good News Christian News+1

  • Because through the imperfect, His power is magnified. When we succeed in our strength, we might boast. But when we succeed in weakness, the power and glory belong to God. 1 Corinthians 1:27 reminds us that God chose “what is weak in the world to shame the strong.” Good News Christian News

  • Because flaws make the message accessible. When people see that the vessel wasn’t perfect, they see that the God working through that vessel is perfect. Stories of flawed heroes give hope to the rest of us. As one blog said: “What may be imperfect to others is perfect for God.” Sharing Solutions For Life

  • Because obedience matters more than brilliance. The question is rarely, “Are you qualified?” but rather, “Are you willing?” Moses’ stuttering was not the deal-breaker. His willingness to say yes was.

3. Your Flaws Are Not Disqualifiers

Maybe today you feel inadequate. Maybe you believe your past mistakes, your weaknesses, your lack of polish mean God cannot use you. I want to tell you: that’s a lie.

  • Maybe you’ve failed at relationships.

  • Maybe you have a history you’re ashamed of.

  • Maybe you struggle with fear, with anxiety, with a voice that shakes when you speak.

  • Maybe you believe you don’t have the gift, the look, or the eloquence.

But listen: God doesn’t see you by your limitations. He sees your purpose. He sees what He can make of you. Hebrews and Christian commentators echo the message that divine purpose is often carried through human weakness. Bible Hub+1

Consider this: If God had waited for perfect vessels, the Bible would be almost empty. But instead, He filled His story with the unlikely, the hesitant, the flawed.

4. The Beauty of Weakness Turned Purpose

When Moses spoke to Pharaoh, his voice wasn’t flawless. When he led the children of Israel through the Red Sea, his leadership was not perfect. His lifespan ended on the mountain without entering the Promised Land. Yet God used his life to deliver a nation, to write foundational Scripture, and to shape redemptive history. My Jewish Learning+1

That is the beauty: your weakness becomes the canvas on which God paints His glory. Your trembling voice becomes the conduit of His strength. Your past mistakes become the backdrop for His redemption.

Years ago, one article stated:

“God uses imperfect people to carry out His perfect plan... We often assume we have to be flawless to be used by God, but the Bible shows us where God uses the weak, the flawed, and the unlikely for His many purposes.” Sharing Solutions For Life

Your story matters. Your life counts. Not because of your flawless performance, but because of the One who carries you.

5. Step-by-Step: How to Let God Use Your Imperfection

Here’s a simple roadmap for you today:

a) Admit your weakness.
Let your vulnerability go. Moses said, “I have never been eloquent.” (Exodus 4:10) He admitted. You don’t need to pretend. Transparency opens the door for God’s grace.

b) Accept God’s presence.
When Moses asked “Who shall I say sent me?” God answered, “I AM WHO I AM… say ‘I AM’ has sent you.” (Exodus 3:14) God’s presence is your power. Your weakness + His presence = divine strength.

c) Obey despite your fear.
Moses said, “Please send someone else.” (Exodus 4:13) But God said, “Go.” Your fear does not nullify your calling. Obedience trumps emotion.

d) Let the glory go to God, not you.
Remember: your success should redirect attention to God. Weakness keeps the spotlight on Him.

e) Be willing for transformation.
God not only uses us; He changes us. The story of Moses is both about deliverance for a people and transformation for the leader. Your journey is part of the purpose.

6. Courage to Speak When Your Voice Shakes

When your voice shakes, know this: God listens.

Maybe you’ve been avoiding your calling. Maybe you’ve been silent because you don’t feel ready. Maybe you feel the stutter, the hesitation, the throat closing. I want you to know: that’s exactly when God calls.

God didn’t wait for Moses to have perfect speech. He said, “Your voice will go with him.” (Exodus 4:14) And He reinforced, “I will be with your mouth and teach you what to say.” (Exodus 4:12)

Do you hear that? The promise is the presence. The power is not in your vocals; it’s in His accompaniment. When you speak, you speak because He is speaking through you.

So speak. Start. Stumble. Continue. Let every shake and pause carry the message: “God is with me. He will use my voice.”

7. Real-Life Stories of Imperfect Purpose

We aren’t just talking ancient heroes in dust-covered scrolls. We’re talking real lives. Yours. Mine. Countless testimonies of the flawed being used for the extraordinary.

Consider how many biblical figures had massive flaws:

  • David: A shepherd who committed adultery and murder, yet called a man after God’s own heart. Living a Fruitful Life+1

  • Peter: Denied Jesus three times out of fear, yet became the rock of the church. Sharing Solutions For Life

  • Paul: A persecutor of Christians, yet became the greatest missionary. Bible Hub

  • Rahab: A former outcast and prostitute, yet became part of Jesus’ genealogy. Living a Fruitful Life

What’s the pattern? Not “It began with perfection.” But “It began with willingness.” The wild thing? God often chooses you when you feel the least likely. Because then the outcome is clearly His doing.

8. How This Message Changes Everything

This isn’t a nice thought to feel good about—it’s a paradigm shift.

  • Instead of hiding your past, you highlight it as the canvas for God’s redemption.

  • Instead of waiting until you’re “ready,” you go because He is ready.

  • Instead of seeking flawless credentials, you embrace faithful availability.

  • Instead of measuring your worth by performance, you measure by surrender.

Imagine a world where you no longer shrink back because you think you’re not enough. Imagine stepping into your purpose despite the trembling, despite the stories, despite the fear. That world is for you.

9. A Call to Action: Let Your Life Speak

Here’s your invitation right now:

  • Write down one area you feel flawed. A voice that shakes. A story you think disqualifies you.

  • Next to it, write: “God can use this.”

  • Then speak it out loud. “God can use my weakness for His glory.”

  • Take one small step toward obedience today. Maybe it’s sharing this message. Maybe it’s reaching out to someone you sense God wants you to encourage. Maybe it’s saying yes to something you’ve been avoiding.

  • End with prayer: “Lord, I surrender my imperfections. I offer my trembling voice. Use me.”

10. Final Word: Your Flaws, His Purpose

So here we come full circle: God doesn’t see your flaws the way you do. He doesn’t mark you for disqualification. He sees purpose. He sees what He can do through you. He sees the person you will become when you let Him shape you.

Don’t hide your flaws. Don’t pretend you’re perfect. Let your imperfections shine—not for your glory—but for His. Because when the vessel is cracked, the light shines brighter through the cracks. Your story becomes not about how well you perform—but about how powerfully He performs through you.

Let the trembling voice speak anyway. Let the scar speak anyway. Let the weakness be an invitation, not a barrier.

👉 If you haven’t yet: Watch the message here and let it remind you of what you already know deep down—that you are chosen, you are sent, you are enough because He is enough.

You’ll Outgrow Those Who Don’t See You

 There comes a sacred moment when everything in your heart begins to shift. A moment when you stop waiting to be chosen because you finally understand — you already were. That moment is what it feels like to know your worth in God . It is the day you stop chasing validation and start walking in revelation. It is the moment you stop asking others to tell you who you are and start believing what God has already said about you. And when you reach that place, something beautiful happens: you lose interest in anyone who doesn’t see what your Creator has already placed within you. Chapter One: Seeing Yourself Through God’s Eyes For years, we measure our value by how others treat us. We bend to fit into circles that don’t honor us. We chase applause, approval, and affection that never truly satisfy. But all the while, God is whispering : “You are Mine. You are enough. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” The world teaches us to earn our worth. God reminds us that it was establi...

Faith, Courage & God’s Protection

  Faith. Courage. Soldier. God’s Protection. Christian Motivation. Encouragement. Inspiration. Jesus. These words hold deep meaning. They’re more than phrases we hear on Sunday mornings or in moments of crisis — they’re lifelines for every man and woman who’s ever worn a uniform and chosen service over comfort, honor over ease, and duty over self. If that’s you — or if you love someone who has walked that road — this message is written straight to your heart. Because somewhere, across the noise of the world and the weight of your own memories, there’s a voice still speaking softly: “You are not forgotten.” 1️⃣ The Calling That Comes From Heaven When a soldier takes their oath, it’s not just a career decision — it’s a calling. It’s the moment when courage answers the whisper of purpose. The uniform you wear represents something far deeper than patriotism. It represents the willingness to stand in the gap between fear and freedom , between peace and chaos, between comfort and...

When Faith Speaks: The Unbreakable Power of Love and Marriage Rooted in God

 In a world where so many couples fall apart under pressure, there are still stories that shine like beacons — stories that whisper, “Love still endures.” This is one of those stories. Nineteen years ago, my wife Kristen and I said “I do,” not realizing how many storms we’d weather, how many prayers we’d whisper, or how many times we’d see the hand of God reach into our lives and bind us closer together. This isn’t just a reflection on marriage — it’s a living testimony of faith, forgiveness, and grace . It’s about how real love doesn’t depend on the absence of conflict but on the presence of God. And today, I want to share that message — not as a counselor or preacher, but as a husband who has lived through both the beauty and the breaking. If your marriage feels tired, if you’ve lost your spark, or if you’ve been praying for something to change, this story is for you.
