Joel Osteen on the myth that God
only wants us if we’re perfect
“God never sought out perfect people and doesn’t expect us to be perfect people. Jacob was a cheater, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Paul was a murderer, Jonah ran from God, Miriam was a gossip, Gideon was insecure, Mary was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sarah was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zacharias was short, Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead. Why can’t God use you?”
