The Lord is so accepting and takes us all as we are. He meets us where we are, our flaws and all. The great thing about Christ and accepting the gift of Christ is that we don't have to be perfect before we accept Him. If that were the case, well, no one on the face of the planet would be able to receive Him because we are all sin filled flesh bound creatures. The Lord knows we are not perfect and yet He reaches out to us and works through us to do mighty works. How amazing is that! The Lord sees us in our sin and gives us a gift to save us from it- His only Son!!! He doesn't just stop at saving us from an eternal death in flames and our own sin but He works to make us more like Himself. He helps us with our flaws and our sins so we can be more like Him- more loving, caring, kind, gentle, joyful, peaceful, patient, faithful, and self controlled- the list goes on and on. Just know that you don't have to be perfect to accept Christ or do the work of Christ. When you accept Christ He will begin to do that work in you. So accept Jesus Christ's calling today, let Him into your heart and into your life, so He may begin a glorious transformation in you.
Galatians 5:22-23
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
