I was watching a movie last night and although I fell asleep before it was over I had an ah ha moment during it.. They started singing Just as I am.. I have to admit that this is one of my favorite hymns and I love to sing it and to hear it....

The words go like this......

Just as I am without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed or me,
and that Thou bidst me, come to Thee;
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come

God wants us to come to Him just as we are, He doesn't care where we are or where we have been. Jesus His son died on the cross and shed His blood for you and me and all we have to do is come to Him.

Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot; to thee whose blood can cleanse each spot.
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

All we have to do is come to Him and He will rid us of our blots and make us whole in Him again. He wants us to come and give Him our lives and to rid us of the wrongs in our lives..

Just as I am though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt fightings and fears within, without. Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

When life is too much and everything is a mess or full of hurt, doubt and you have fears and do not know where to turn. God is there and we need to turn to Him and let Him carry our burdens and help us through the muck and yuck of life..

Just as I am poor, wretched, blind; sight riches healing of the mind. Yea all I need in thee to find. Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

He wants us to come to Him just as we are.. We don't have to worry about what we look like or anything else just come to Him as we are and let Him heal us..

Just as I am thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve. Because Thy promise I believe. Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

Come as you are and let God take care of the rest.. You know no matter what happens or how I feel in life I know that God is there for me and will always be.. Ask me why or how I know and I will say that I know just because He said so..

Just as I am thy love unknown, hath broken every barrier down, now to be thine, yea thine alone. Oh Lamb of God I come I come.

He gives us a love that is unknown from any other and will break all the barriers down.. I love you Lord thank you..

Just as I am, of that free love;
The breadth, length, depth and height to prove,
Here for a season then above, Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

We are here on earth for a time and will have to deal with that life, for a season, but then we get to go above and live with Christ for eternity.. That alone gives me the Hope to keep going no matter how bad this life might seem to be...

Just as I am without one Plea....

God Bless,
