(Un)Qualified: How God Uses Broken People to Do Big Things

by Steven Furtick

GOD ONLY KNOWS Really, only God is capable of completely knowing the human heart. Jeremiah wrote, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? ‘I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind’ ” (Jeremiah 17:9–10). David said this about God’s knowledge of us: “You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar” (Psalm 139:1–2). God knows you better than you know yourself. He looks inside the deepest crevices of your heart. He sees the secrets you’ve hidden from everyone, maybe even yourself. And here’s the best part. God knows everything about you—including the ugly parts, the broken parts, and the dysfunctional parts—yet he still believes in you. He still has a future and a hope for you.
