God uses all kinds of people. He also uses the grossly misunderstood and the outcast for His purpose, to glorify His name.
Fred Smith wrote:- “Samson had no wisdom, no maturity, no relationships of any value. We usually equate consecration with spiritual maturity, piety, godliness, our goal being to be more Christlike. Samson lacked all these qualities. Perhaps he was raised up in the same way as Pharaoh-to display God’s power and then be destroyed.
Samson was impulsive, spoilt, demanding, arrogant, and lacking in judgment. He showed no hint of kindness or love nor displayed any evidence of a life stirred by the Spirit. He was actually cruel and vindictive, incapable of discernment and immune to advice.
Yet, he was consecrated for God’s use to defeat an enemy and bring down an entire government. His epitaph read, “He killed many more when he died than while he lived.” Isn’t that what he was set apart to do?”

Everyone has a calling in the Body of Christ to serve His divine purpose to glorify His name. Many of us are loose and careless with our mouth, unknowingly criticizing God's work. We judge, slander, criticize and discredit men whom God has called and anointed.
Here is a link to the article why we should not judge:-
Grace be with you all!

上帝使用各种各样的人。祂也使用了被误解的人和被抛弃的人，以荣耀祂的名。
弗雷德史密斯写道：- “参孙没有智慧，不成熟，没有任何的价值。我们通常将圣职等同于属灵的成熟，虔诚，敬虔，我们的目标是更像基督。参孙缺乏所有这些素质。也许他像法老一样被提升- 为了显示上帝的能力，然后被毁灭。
参孙很冲动，被宠坏，苛刻，傲慢，又缺乏判断力。他的生命里没有表现出善意或爱，也没有表现出任何被圣灵激发的证据。他实际上是残忍和怀恨的，无法辨别和不接受建议。
然而，他被神分别为圣来击败敌人并打倒整个政府。他的墓志铭写道：“他死的时候杀的人数远远超过他活着的时候。”这不就是他被分别出来所要做的事吗？
每个人在基督的身体里都有一个神能的呼召，为的是要荣耀祂的名。一旦你意识到你的呼召以及你在基督里的身份，你就不会因为别人不按照你被神呼召的方式事奉神而对他们的呼召起批评或评判
以下是我们不应该判断任何人的文章的链接：-
神的恩典与你们同在！
