You Are Invited to a “Come as You Are” Party
Adapted from The Power of Being Thankful
It is through Him that we have received grace (God’s unmerited favor)…and this includes you, called of Jesus Christ and invited [as you are] to belong to Him.
One of the first things we ask when we are invited to a party is, “How should I dress?” Most of us like it best when we feel that we can come as we are. We like it when we can relax and be ourselves. I love this Scripture because of the message of acceptance it brings.
God accepts us as we are and He works with us throughout our lives to help us become all that He wants us to be. Grace meets us where we are but, thankfully, it never leaves us where it found us.
God will work in you by His Holy Spirit, and you will be changed! But you don’t have to wait to come to Him. Thankfully, you can come right now just as you are. You don’t have to stand off in the distance and only hear the music of the party; you are invited to attend.
Prayer of the Day: I thank You, Father, that You love me just as I am. I know that You are working in my life to bring positive change, but I thank You that You still love me and accept me in the process. Thank You for Your grace that allows me to come to You just as I am.
