There is nothing anybody else can do that can stop God from using us: the fault always lies in ourselves. We can turn everything into a testimony. Even opposition can become an open door.

So it you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Matthew 5:23-24

Father, when we are free of sin, we can do Your work. When we seem to be ineffective in Your work, move us to reexamine our lives for sin.
