@jermainefelton423: Come As You Are We’ve all found ourselves in painful situations. Maybe you’ve had your heart broken. Perhaps someone you trusted took something valuable away from you. Or maybe you’ve been unfairly judged, misunderstood, or undervalued. What you’re holding is heavy, real, and exhausting. Jesus says, “Come to me all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NLT In life’s heaviness, Jesus offers you an invitation. Jesus wants to help lighten your load, and one of the ways He does this is by making a way for you to come confidently into God’s presence. Jesus knows exactly what you’re going through because He endured the cross for you. His life on earth allows Him to empathize with your weaknesses. He knows what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, tempted, and exhausted because He experienced all those things. But He also gave up His life so that we could experience His mercy and grace. This means that nothing can separate you from God and His love. Jesus gets who you are. He already sees you at our most vulnerable, and He invites you to come vulnerably before Him. This might look like having an honest conversation with God about what’s on your mind right now. It could mean talking to Him about struggles you’re currently facing, or disappointments you’ve experienced. Perhaps it means letting go of a past hurt, or maybe it looks like accepting that God loves you the way you are. Jesus wants to release you from whatever is holding you back from coming confidently to Him. You are not defined by your pain or your past. You are identified by the Savior who gave up His life so that you could be loved, forgiven, and known. So right now, spend some time with God, ask Him to search your heart, and give Him any hurt you’ve been carrying. #fyp #comeasyouare #devotional
