Come as you are

Just a small lesson i learnt from this chapter of psalms this weekend when i was questioning myself..am i really fit to serve or be called a child of God for i am so sinful and i dont deserve to even touch his the tip of his toenail.

Psalm 15
LORD, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander, who does no
wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the LORD;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind;
who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against
the innocent. Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.

I searched myself and realized i am not worthy as i do not fit this description.But i thank God for his unending grace loving me just as i am.And he said 'come as you are ' for if we were perfect and had it all together we wouldn't need him ,so with all our weaknesses he seeks us out.and slowly he will turn us to be all the noble characters mentioned in this chapter. It may be today,tomorrow or the next day we just need to be persistent and not let our weaknesses weigh us.For it is for a people like us that jesus came.

 
For in John (9:39-41)
39 Jesus said,[ a] “For judgment I
have come into this world, so that
the blind will see and those who
see will become blind.”
40 Some Pharisees who were with
him heard him say this and asked,
“What? Are we blind too?”
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind,
you would not be guilty of sin; but
now that you claim you can see,
your guilt remains.
 

For a people like us who are blind is who he came for that we may see.
We did not earn our salvation and thus we cannot be able to keep it by doing good deeds or loose it by doing bad things.God expects to come to him and  be open withholding noothing from him.To go to him at all times not just when we think we are wothy.So remember.
'Come as you are,'......
