God's strange choice (from church devotional)

Has someone told you you're not Qualified? If so, read on:

"Dear Paul the Apostle: We received your application for service under our missions board. Frankly we're amazed you've been able to pass as a missionsry. Here's why: (1) We're told that you're afflicted with eye trouble. We require 20/20 vision. (2) We hear that you have to make tents on the side to support yourself. How come? (3) Is it true that you have a prosion record? Think how this would reflect on our organization. (4) It's reported form Ephesus that you made so much trouble for the local business comunity there, that they refer to you as the man who "turned he world upside down." We deplore sensationalism in ministry. (5) You refer to yourself as "Paul the aged." Our new pension policies don't anticipate surplus of elderly recipients. (6) Doctor Luke, the physician reports that you are a frail little man, frequently sick, and always so agitated over your churches that you sleep very poorly. He indicates that you pad around the house praying half the night. Our ideal applicant has a clear mind and a robust body. We believethat a good night's sleep will give you zest and zip so that you will wake up full of zing. So, we regret to inform you, Brother Paul, that in all our our experience we've never met a candidate so opposite to the requirements of our board. If we should accept you, we would be breaking every principle of current missionary practice Signed, Most surely, J. Flavius Fluffyhear, Secretary, Foreign Missions Board."

Kind of makes you think you might be a bit more qualified than your "friends" tell you that you are.
