Come As You Are

I remember more than 8 years ago

when I was so down and out , a

Christian friend invited me to join

their group.

Desperate as I was, I accepted his

invitation.

There were praising, Amens and Halleluyahs.

Some are even speaking in tongues.

It felt good although I found it a bit weird that time.

I told myself,"well, this is something new. I might love this."

So, the service lasted for more than 2 hours.

I witnessed members giving out testimonies almost most of them were crying, begging for God through prayers.

I just sit in there and observed.

Two, three days passed.

That Christian friend asked me again to join them. He told me since, you have accepted Jesus in your life now, you must attend our Bible study. And some activities.

I wasn't into that time. So I politely just said "No, sorry I can't".

Then I talked to Jesus,
"Jesus, right now , I am not ready for any responsibility for you yet as you know I am quite busy with alot of stuff like making a living. Feed my family, etc. Sorry, maybe next time."

So I left the congregation feeling so free!

Have you been in this situation in your life?

You see, true Christianity is not accepting Jesus and follow all the rules.

True Christianity is to come to Jesus as you are and let Him change you inside and out.

I was so glad I got out from that congration and now I am happy of where God has led me...to His truth.

That Christianity is not relying on your effort to be perfect. To do this and do that. Honestly, I hate rules!

Christianity is relying on Jesus' perfect sacrifice because as Jesus is, and so are you in this world!






If you are struggling now as a Christian. I know, life itself can bring you down already. How much more of some of these teachings or preachings outhere that's making your life heavier and even stressful?

You don't come to Jesus to be stressed. You come to Jesus to rest.

Jesus said,
" come to me and I will give you rest. "

Embrace that truth.
Jesus is our rest.

So don't ever let someone stress you out of some rules.

In Jesus' there are NO RULES!

Your only task is to receive and thank Him for His love for you.

Pure blessing. Pure grace.

Yes!

Christianity is a gift.

Don't let anything stress you out.

Just come to Jesus as you are ,

stand still and experience His

unmerited favour in your life.
