The people God usesJacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer,
Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier,
Thomas was a doubter,
God doesn’t call the empowered, he empowers the called.
Elijah was depressed,
Moses stuttered, Zacchaeus was short,
Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead.
