God knows us better than we know ourselves. Every scary, unsavory, terrible bit! And He calls us anyway to “follow Him,” – just as we are!
But just because He accepts and Calls us as we are, doesn’t mean we get to stay who we are! He Calls us as we are – to become more like Him!
That means often putting aside what we want and living the way He wants. That’s a true Calling! That’s true freedom! That’s true joy!
May you be comforted in the Lord’s acceptance of you, Call to you, and growth for you in Jesus!
