For your Sunday



All that My Father gives to Me comes to Me. 
I will receive everyone;
I will not send away anyone who comes to Me.
John 6:37 (The Voice)

    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.

    Hi Beth
    This is just one of my favorite verses in the Bible. This world does not speak this kind of love and acceptance!

      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 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!
