Come, Just As You Are

Who would think to clean himself before taking a shower? What would be the purpose of the shower if you could get clean through another method first?

Similarly, don't think you must get your life together before you come to Jesus.  Don't think you need to stop sinning before you come to Him. 

Just come to God as you are!  Let Him clean you up and make you free from sin.

If you've ever struggled with addiction or know the struggles of darkness and pain, take hope in Jesus for He is able to bear the hardest of burdens and free you from every sin.  And there is more good news: the Lord promises to keep all those who come to Him.  He will never turn you away.  Nothing you've ever done or will do could keep Him from loving you and forgiving you.  You are beloved of God.

All that the Father gives me will come to me,
and anyone who comes to me I will never turn away. 
John 6:37

For sin shall not have dominion over you:
for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:14
