Come as You Are.

This morning as I was driving to work. I had an awesome time just worshiping the Lord. I heard this song by Pocket Full of Rocks called "Come As You Are" and guys--it reminded me of how caring & loving our Heavenly Father is!

You know, so many people look at the Christian life in such a negative light. Which I don't blame them, because Christians these days don't always display the most inviting lifetyle--some of us choose to act in ways that are not very Christ-Like. We aren't perfect and all Christians make bad decisions sometimes. But that is the BEAUTIFUL thing about our Lord! We AREN'T perfect, not at all, and we don't have to be as long as we serve Him! You know why? Because our God sent His Son to die, to cover those inperfections with His blood!! He washed away those sins & inperfections when He died on the cross!! Can you believe that the God who is the Creator of ALL things did that for you? for me?

See, we don't have to be perfect to belong to Christ because He is perfect for us. We just have to receive the Gift of Salvation that Jesus gives us & Jesus' blood covers our sins.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.Romans 3:23-26 (ESV)

We can come to him just as we are. Broken. Confused. Ashamed. Humiliated. He wants us to come to Him with everything we have. He is standing there with His arms open, ready for you to run to Him. He doesn't care what we have done, He just wants a relationship with us! This song is such a message to the world of how God wants to see us, how he wants us to come to Him. Just as we are! I Found this video with the lyrics on it, I hope you listen to it (See Below).

I hope that if you don't know Christ today, that you would see the love He has for you and that He wants a true relationship with you, His child.

Love,
Courtney
