Matthew 11:28 ” Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Jesus calls all…the weary, the addicted, the burdened, and the hopeless, to find rest & refreshment in Him. No where in the Bible does it tells us that we need to have our act together, our character all shined up, and ourselves all pretty & perfect BEFORE the Lord will accept us. In John 7:37 Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” Jesus has no prerequisites, and no requirements beforehand that have to be met before He will accept anyone into His Kingdom…He only demands our faith & trust in Him. “Come to Me”, had me thinking this morning about a great old Hymn by Charlotte Elliot that George Beverly Shea sang at the Billy Graham Crusades. It’s first verse went something like this: “Just as I am, without one plea, but that Your blood was shed for me, and that You bid me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.” Jesus wants you to come to Him just as you are today… with all your problems, addictions, and mental health baggage…and He will give you the peace you’ve been searching for.
