With Me, and Me only.

"Why have you chosen me? I am not clean and holy. I am dusty, gray, apathetic, stubborn, selfish, proud. I have no special talent or gift. I am worthless. "

"Why do you question my choosing? You are viewing yourself apart from me. Without me, you are right, you are nothing. Look at yourself through my eyes. In me, you can do all things. Have you not found it to be true?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you doubt me? I have been faithful and just to forgive your sin, have I not?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you doubt my love? I have saved you from the rotten path. I have made you beautiful. With Me at your side, you will never need doubt that what I have asked you to do, I will help you do. With Me inside you, you are a light, a beacon, a shining star. With Me, you will bring My hope to people who are hopeless. With Me, you will bring comfort to those who have none. Without Me, you can do nothing. But with Me, the world is waiting for you to bring hope and comfort and healing in My name. With Me, you can do all things."
