God wants the imperfect...
Those in need of His Grace.
All the beautifully flawed
Who feel so out of place.
God wants the rejected...
The unloved, the unwanted...
Whose lives feel so empty...
Whose eyes look so haunted.
Yes, God wants the drunkard...
Wants the thief and the liar...
The glutton, the gambler...
Those submerged in the mire.
God wants the perverted...
The profane and the proud.
The prostitute and the pimp...
The cocaine using crowd.
Yes, God wants the greedy...
The gossip, the gay.
The lustful, immoral,
Who on innocents prey.
God wants the envious...
The spiritual sloth...
Those who wickedly slander
A man of the cloth.
God wants the adulterer,
The schemer, false witness...
The sorcerer, deceiver...
Not one can claim fitness!
Every human has sinned
And falls short of His Glory.
But The Cross holds forgiveness
And can change every story.
So, God wants the dispised...
The one nobody's missed.
Every sinner on earth
Is on His most wanted list.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
1 John 1:7-9 But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light,
we have fellowship with one another, and the blood
of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that
we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth
is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality,
impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife,
jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying,
drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you,
just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things
will not inherit the kingdom of God.
" (Proverbs 6:16-19).
"There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable
to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush
into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up
dissension among brothers"
