Tim Tebow: You Don’t Have to Be Perfect—Only Willing Tim Tebow, the former NFL quarterback turned Christian advocate, shared a message on social media emphasizing that perfection is not a requirement for spiritual growth. “Let me be honest with you — I’m a screw up. I’ve failed. I’ve fallen short,” he admitted, reflecting on his own struggles. He acknowledged moments when he felt distant from his aspirations but stressed that God’s call is not for flawless individuals. “God isn’t looking for perfect people. He’s looking for willing ones,” he explained, framing Christianity as a place for the broken rather than a system for the already “together.” Tebow expanded on this idea, encouraging people to embrace their imperfections as part of their journey with faith. “You don’t have to have it figured out. You don’t have to be good enough. You just have to be willing,” he said. This message aligns with his broader philosophy of purpose-driven living, which he has discussed in previous posts. Last year, he highlighted the importance of being “used by God” by filling gaps in society. “When you are truly willing to be used by God, He will give you opportunities to fill a gap,” he stated, referencing Matthew 5:17, which he interpreted as a call to take small, consistent steps toward faith. The former NFL star also addressed the impact of individual actions, urging followers to recognize how their choices influence others. “Your life impacts more people than you realize. Every conversation. Every choice. Every interaction,” he said. Tebow emphasized living with “passion and compassion” as a reflection of God’s vision for humanity. This perspective has been central to his advocacy work, particularly in addressing social issues like child exploitation.#capitol_hill #tim_tebow #renewed_hope_act #child_trafficking #govtrack_us
