None of these People were Perfect

... and God still met them where they were
Moses stuttered.
David's armour didn't fit.
John Mark was rejected by Paul.
Hosea's wife was a prostitute.
Amos' only training was in the School of fig-tree pruning...
Solomon was too rich.
Abraham was too old.
David was too young.
Timothy had ulcers.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
John was self-righteous.
Naomi was a widow.
Paul was a murderer,
So was Moses.
Jonah ran from God.
Miriam was a gossip.
Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
Elijah was burned out.
John the Baptist was a loudmouth.
Martha was a worry-wart.
Mary was lazy.
Samson had long hair.
Noah got drunk.
Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?
so did Peter, Paul-
So hang in there...God still loves you… in fact He loves you so much He won't leave you the way you are. "Being confident of this very thing, that He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" - Philippians 1:6
