Jesus tells us to come just as we are- to bring our whole self to the foot of the cross. He longs for us to be vulnerable with Him and tell Him what we are feeling. Many times we may feel lonely, unimportant, and just plain old ordinary. We are all ordinary in the sense that none of us are any better than anyone else and although God can accomplish His purposes despite whether or not we choose to be used by Him- the comfort of knowing we are somebody to Jesus is nonetheless reassuring and rewarding.
To be loved by the maker of the universe is something that should make anyone feel rescued, redeemed, and relieved. To know that Jesus accepts us no matter what we look like--- hair all a mess (this is totally me- by the way- as you can see in the video below...yeah, I am totally rockin the mom -not washed in I don't know how many days- hairdo), clothes not matching (take Oliver for example- hehe) is just a glimpse of the all surpassing love that Christ has for each and every one of us.
