Tim Tebow says God doesn’t ask for anyone to be perfect, but He does ask for a willing heart.
“Let me be honest with you — I’m a screw up. I’ve failed. I’ve fallen short,” the former NFL star said on social media.
“I’ve had moments where I looked nothing like who I wanted to be. But here’s what I’ve learned, God isn’t looking for perfect people. He’s looking for willing ones,” he explained.
Christianity doesn’t mean everyone has it all together.
“It is a hospital for the broken. That’s the beauty of it,” the former NFL quarterback explained.
Anyone can be a warrior for Christ if they are willing.
“You don’t have to have it figured out,” he said. “You don’t have to be good enough. You just have to be willing.”

Last year, Tebow said that when you are truly willing to be used by God, He will give you opportunities to “fill a gap.”
He shared Matthew 5:17 “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed…”
“It’s okay to feel afraid or have questions while taking the first step. Do it anyway. Just keep moving the ball five yards,” he said, “and five more yards. And five more!”
Also last year, Tebow encouraged his followers to be aware of their actions and how they influence others.
He said, “Your life impacts more people than you realize. Every conversation. Every choice. Every interaction.”
“God calls us to see people the way he does, with passion and compassion,” he said. “Live in a way that points others to him.”
Last month, Tebow went to Capitol Hill to plea support for child exploitation rescue.
“It is a thin line between tortured and treasured,” Tebow told lawmakers. “And you are that thin line,” he said, urging the chamber to approve the Renewed Hope Act, which would combat exploitation and provide resources for victims.
“I spent way too much of my life chasing a much less important MVP,” Tebow added. “I want to spend the rest of my life chasing the most vulnerable people.”
Tebow’s foundation reports there are 57,000 unidentified victims of child trafficking in America.
“Every day, [these children] are praying that we are going to respond,” Tebow said. “But how are we going to respond?”
“I am convening this subcommittee hearing to expose how our youth are groomed, exploited and overlooked by the existing system,” he said. “Congress must dismantle the criminal networks that profit from exploiting the most vulnerable among us and put an end to child trafficking.”
According to Govtrack.us, the bill has a 53% of passing.
