Why would God choose fallible human beings to speak on his behalf?

God didn't have to use us humans, but He chose to. Not only does He use us on occasion, He actually seems to use us anytime He can! It almost seems like the general rule is: If God can use humans no matter what the cost, He will. We see this all through scripture numerous times; even the scriptures themselves are proof of this! God chooses to use fallible humans to reveal His written word. Why did He do this? Perhaps 2 Corinthians 12:9 might help us:

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

God is so powerful that He can work through our failures and our weaknesses. What's even greater is that He chooses too! Instead of doing everything Himself, He leaves the task up to mere mortals to accomplish the spreading of His Gospel. I don't know why God trusts us with so much but I'm glad He does!
