Mark 3:13-19

13 Afterward Jesus went up on a mountain and called the ones he
     wanted to go with him. And they came to him.
14 Then he selected twelve of them to be his regular companions,
     calling them apostles. He sent them out to preach,
15 and he gave them authority to cast out demons.
16 These are the names of the twelve he chose:

Simon (he renamed him Peter),
17 James and John (the sons of Zebedee, but Jesus nicknamed them "Sons of Thunder" ), 
18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James (son of Alphaeus),
Thaddaeus, Simon (the Zealot ),
19 Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed him).        (NLT)

Jesus chose you the same as He chose the twelve apostles, He called you to come. He did not call you then left you with no abilities. As He gave the apostles authority He gives you authority to preach the word, to share the gospel and even to cast out demons. God has given you power. God has given you His Spirit. You need to accept the fact that God loves you and has given you power and authority. Therefore go and be bold for the Lord your God.
