        street.

               I once heard a story of
        someone that felt like they might

        as well be invisible, that no one
        cared about them, and wanted to
        just end it all. But when a stranger
        took just a moment and smiled at

        them it spoke volumes to them.

        suddenly they were not invisible
        anymore. It’s up to you to be the

        anyone tell you that you aren’t
        qualified. God does not call the
        qualified. He qualifies the called. All

        you need to do is listen and follow
        what He commands of you. You do
        your part and He will qualify you.
