We Come As We Are!

"We come as we are."

We come as we are ... are such simple words, yet they form quite a profound concept for anyone struggling with feelings of insecurity and/ or judgmentalism.

It is in these words I am discovering a profound kernel of truth and encouragement for this journey.

If we can accept that all of us come as we are, we will not be so hard on ourselves. Perhaps we will not be so hard on others, as well.

Let us simply praise that we are willing to come as we are, in all our brokenness,
and to surrender ourselves to God to be molded and refined step by step to be more like him. What an exciting journey it can be if we can release our grasp on our feelings of insecurity and attitudes of judgmentalism and simply marvel at the wonderful work God is doing in each other's lives. Every life is a work in progress by our creator... how blessed we are when we get to watch or get even a small glimpse into how THE LORD crafts a unique one-of a-kind masterpiece.

Don't be afraid to come as you are...and don't be afraid to let God do his thing in your life!

When we come as we are we kind of need to know who it is we're bringing!

Lord, let us accept the reality of our weakness and sin as well as the great things about us! Amen!

God bless
