Did you know that over 31% of the world’s population find guidance in the pages of the Bible? Within its verses lies a profound invitation: come as you are. This message resonates through scripture, offering solace and acceptance to all who seek it.

Whether you’re weathered by life’s storms or basking in sunshine, bible verses about come as you are extend an unprejudiced welcome. (Bible Insideout Blog)

Reflection. There is no feeling worse than being rejected. This is the wonder of John 6:37. Whoever Almighty God has given to Jesus is welcome and loved.

Lay down your burdens, lay down your shame, lay down your guilt.

Come as You Are.
All who are broken, lift up your face.
Oh wanderer come Home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart.
Come as you are!
Come as you are!
Fall in His arms,
Come as you are. (Deirdre Brown)

In John 6:37, Jesus gives all God’s people an amazing promise. He will never turn away those seeking Him earnestly.

Scripture Reading: All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37, KJV)
