SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING
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?”
