Come As You Are

What’s weighing you down today?

What heavy load are you carrying?

What chains from the past are haunting you?

Are you ready to let God take it? God can do it. He will lift your sadness, heal your iniquities, bring forgiveness where needed, instill hope in the most hopeless of situations. God can move mountains. God created the heavens and the earth and breathed in you the breath of life. God created you and sustains your every breath from this moment………to this one. God sent his Son for you. It was a gift. In Jesus you can have life, and life abundantly. Want to find the meaning of life? Lose it. Lose your life and you will find it. It’s not magic. It’s real. Jesus promises - For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it (Matthew 16:25). It’s true. I feel it inside. This isn’t religion. This is a personal God who since the day you were born has been revealing himself to you. Lay your burdens down at his feet…ask him to carry your load. To bring refreshment in your life. The chains of yesterday - the guilt, the unfulfillment, the failures – they can be released…..because the debt has already been paid. On the cross. When Jesus died. For you. Jesus said "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners" (Mark 2:17). Come as you are. To the cross. That is where it starts. Sin atoned for. For you and for me. This is where you can finally lay your burdens down. This is where you find new life. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17)
