No Christian should ever take pride in the fact that God uses them to proclaim His message. Never forget that He once used a donkey to do the exact same thing. He does not need us, and none of us are anything special apart from Him. All the glory and honor belongs to Him alone.
Oh, Christian, when He does call you to proclaim His word (and He most assuredly will at some point if you are truly His), do so humbly and take no pride in it. Rather, let us all respond as Luke 17:10 advises, “We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.”
