God Wants You, Just As You Are

"He takes us as we are - and makes us more than we ever imagined." Neill F. Marriott

 Maybe in your life today, you are trying to clean your life, and yourself up, for God. You have been told by others that you need to change, and that you are not the right type of person that God needs you to be to come to Him. Have you faced this? If so, I truly pray that this post would encourage you in an entirely new way that maybe, you haven't heard before.
 So, I am just going to say it right now, God doesn't need you to be any certain way for you to come to Him. It doesn't matter one bit what all of those other people are saying that you are doing wrong. It doesn't matter what issues you may be dealing with or what baggage you have. God, our Father, calls to us and opens His arms wide to welcome us in just as we are. He is welcoming us into His love, and the only thing that is holding us back is us letting the opinions of ourselves, and of others, get inside our head.
 So today, despite what any has told you that you are doing wrong, despite wherever your life may be right now, God is ready to welcome you. For you are His child, and He sees you as beautiful, perfect, and wonderful. And just know that His opinion of you is the only one that truly matters. So just as you are today, run into your Father's arms, just as you are, and watch your life change for the better because of it.
