Adam broke the rules.
Noah was a drunk.
Abraham was too old.
Jacob stole his brother’s birth-rite.
Moses ran away (so did Jonah but I’m getting ahead of myself).
Rehab was a prostitute.
Ruth was a foreigner.
Saul was proud.
David was a womanizer.
Isaiah was brash.
John the Baptist was just weird.
Lazarus was dead.
Peter lied three times.
John was just a kid.
Thomas doubted.
Paul was a murderer.
Timothy was scared.
Philemon was a slave.
And John Mark gave up!
God still loved and used every one of these people in amazing ways.
Why not you?
Why not me?
Happy New Year!
