Former NFL star and now SEC analyst Tim Tebow believes that God has a mission for each and every person.

"We serve a big God," Tebow told The State, "He might want you to change a million people, it might be to change one person."

Tebow is fortunate enough to have served God both ways.

When he was still playing football with the Florida Gators, Tebow recalled how he would write Bible verses on the black patches under his eyes. He started with Philippians 4:13 — "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."

Tebow later decided to change the verse to John 3:16—"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

During the BCS Championship game, where his team beat Oklahoma, people got so curious as to what the verse was all about that 94 million people looked up the verse from Google while the game was progressing.

Then just last summer, when Tebow and his friends visited Florida's death row to share God's message, he encountered an inmate who just killed his fellow inmate and was threatening to kill himself as well.

When he knocked at the inmate's door and peered through the window, the man told him, "You are a Christian."

"Yes, I am," Tebow answered back. "Do you know why we're here? To tell you God loves you."

Tebow was surprised when the inmate fell to the floor and wept. The inmate then told Tebow that just a few minutes earlier, he made a deal with God—if God did not show up right then and there, he would find some way to finally end his life.

"You don't always know when God is working through you," Tebow simply said.

Another way that God is letting Tebow carry out His mission is through the Tim Tebow Foundation, which helps parents adopt kids and build hospitals, among many other things.
