I must remember this! As a Christian, I must remember to accept all people, even the ones I may label undesirable or different. Such an important lesson - thank you so much for sharing it!
It was probably the first time I really read this verse and I felt the same way....a beautiful reminder to accept all people as He accepts us. Have a blessed Sunday, Carrie.
I just returned from Guatemala earlier in the week Mia and I witnessed even there how their love and acceptance is greater than ours. It really had an impact on me which is why I think God led me to this verse. Much love to you, Beth
I agree, Susan! I love going to biblegateway.com and looking up the different translations. I'm so happy to have you sharing at my place!!!! Thank you for your beautiful heart.
I only recently found The Voice translation and I love it. Whenever the Word of God is made clear and simple, I am captured. So glad that we do indeed come as we are... and He makes the changes!
Come as you are - nothing more beautiful than that is here? - I replied to your comment on my blog. I hope you'll read that because I commented on what an important position your son has at the senior citizen center. Thankful for what he is doing for those people!! - I love your sweet spirit Beth. Glad our paths crossed!
