God Turns Nobodies into Somebodies

He chooses the overlooked, the humble, and the unlikely — and elevates them for His glory, without needing anyone's permission.

"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence."
— 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (KJV)
