Ditto everyone else's replies (great answers, thank you!). Also, the Apostle Paul says, "when I am weak, then I am strong"...so God uses us where we are to accomplish His will.
I think we need to look at that as an honor and a priviledge that the Lord loves us so much that He would stoop down and make great things out of us and our lives. What a trip! Our purpose is to allow God's perfect will in our lives so He can do wonderous things in us. Alleluia!
