I had a dream the other night. Jesus was calling to us, all of humanity.
Gently imploring, “Come to me. Bring me whatever you have, whatever you are. I love you exactly as you are so come.”
I was in line with a great crowd of people who were moving toward Him. Some were holding a thimble full of their stuff, some were pushing a wheel barrow full and others were driving dump trucks!
It didn’t matter to us or Him, what any of us had or the size of it, we were just joyfully relieved to be giving it all to Jesus, the good, bad and indifferent parts of us. He was willingly receiving it all and was pleased.
Then I woke up.
I’m thinking the point of my dream is this:
God isn’t messed up or surprised by who you are, where you’ve come from or what you’ve done. He just wants you to come to Him. Lay everything down before Him and allow His love to fill you, bless you and change you.
He’s calling my name and yours. He’s patiently waiting.
So what are we waiting for?
Quit looking at my stuff and I’ll quit looking at yours.
Let’s just go – together.
Matthew 11:28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”(MSG)
