Day 3: Unconditional

Writer's picture: JoniJoni

You feel a

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK,

that is coming from inside of you.

You try to shake it off,

as if it isn't happening.

But then you hear the WORDS,

COME AS YOU ARE.

You wonder what does

COME AS YOU ARE mean?

Exactly that!

TO COME.

is

an INVITATION.

And

"AS YOU ARE",

means

"AS YOU ARE",

in your current state.

It doesn't matter whether you brushed your teeth or not!

COME AS YOU ARE.

Pull up a chair

and

sit

in the

PRESENCE of the ONE

who

 INVITES

ALL

TO COME

AS

YOU

ARE!

But you only have to bring one thing.

A willing HEART to

SURRENDER

to the ONE who is INVITING you to

COME AS YOU ARE.

So you COME with

whatever is covering you.

Do you have SHAME?

COME AS YOU ARE. 

Do you have GUILT?

COME AS YOU ARE.

Do you have BITTERNESS?

COME AS YOU ARE.

Do you have ANGER?

COME AS YOU ARE.

Do you have FRUSTRATION?

COME AS YOU ARE.

Do you have

PAIN,

HURT,

SADNESS,

LONELINESS,

REJECTION,

or

_______________?

COME AS YOU ARE.

And when you COME

with all your STUFF, 

make sure you

LOOK

into HIS EYES,

because HE is LOOKING into yours,

without

CONDEMNATION,

because

"there is no condemnation in those who are IN CHRIST JESUS"

(Romans 8:1).

Yup.

Why do some people FEAR COMING TO JESUS?

They FEAR what HE will do

when HE sees them as THEY ARE.

But everyone should FEAR HIM,

but with a

REVERENCE FEAR

to RECEIVE

MORE LOVE than they could ever imagine.

Because when

you

COMES AS YOU ARE,

HIS LOVE

will overwhelm you,

because

ALL HE SEES is YOUR

willingness to be with HIM,

to RECEIVE HIM,

to INVITE HIM into your HEART.

 "But to as many as did receive and welcome HIM, HE gave the right

[the authority, the privilege] to become children of GOD,

that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) HIS name—

 who were born, not of blood [natural conception],

 nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse],

 nor of the will of man [that of a natural father],

 but of GOD [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—

they are born of GOD—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]"

(John 1:12-13 AMP).

Therefore,

you

COME AS YOU ARE,

because

GOD'S DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN.

And when you do

COME,

beware,

because you will

experience

GRACE,

MERCY,

FORGIVENESS,

PEACE,

JOY,

ACCEPTANCE,

because

HIS LOVE COVERS ALL.

And once you

COME AS YOU ARE the first time,

you just keep

COMING,

because HIS LOVE NEVER CEASES,

and you will always leave

with MORE than you could ever imagine.

So what does

COME AS YOU ARE mean?

Exactly what is written.

"COME AS YOU ARE"

(listen to the song below)
