An important spiritual principle is involved which must be mastered by all who wish to be their best for God. God is not confined to the greatly gifted and exceptionally clever for the fulfillment of His purposes. Indeed, He can use them only as they abandon reliance on their purely natural abilities. All through history God has chosen and used nonentities because their unusual dependence on Him left room for the unique display of His power. When they are content to be nothing, He can be everything. He chooses and uses the richly endowed only when they renounce dependence on their own abilities and resources. - Oswald Sanders, Spiritual Maturity, p. 51
