I saw a daily devotional today from Max Lucado.
It just says so so much and I felt moved to post it.
See my comments after the post below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This could not be more true. Come one, come all. Come just as you are. You are accepted, no matter who you are, or what you have done in the past. It is the past and God wants more for you, and will walk with you. Be comfortable in your skin.

The flip-side: Accept the one, accept the many. Welcome whoever comes through the doors, no matter who they are, no matter what their past. Allow, accept, welcome and love all so they can be comfortable in their skin. Allow God to use you to help others. In the name of Jesus Christ, who gave of himself, not for himself but for you and all of the people of the world.
