Just As I Am

Exodus 3:14 NIV: God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ´I AM has sent me to you.´"
I come just as I am. There is no other way to approach our Lord. He does not look upon outward appearances, but upon the motives of the heart. He knows my reasons for approaching Him. He knows why I make my requests to Him. He knows when I come seeking His Will, and when I come seeking my own. "They that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." And there is no hiding the true intent of my heart. I come just as I am. I approach Him not because I am good enough, but because Christ has given me access to the Father by His life and sacrifice. What can I do? I can go just as I AM. He is I AM—the great I AM. With Christ, I can go into each day as I AM, for He would go into each day ready to serve, to seek and to save that which was lost; to look for opportunity to love and to heal. With Christ, I can love just as I AM—unconditionally—without regard for self—sacrificially and without hesitation. By seeking Him fully, honestly and humbly, I can go through each day, just as I AM.
