I Receive You Just as You Are

 

Even when your emotions are not good for you—anger, hatred, resentment—begin with honesty.

Pour out your heart to Me with complete transparency. Talk to Me like I am the only person you have ever been able to trust. 

I receive you exactly as you are.

I hold you without hesitation.

My heart toward you is tender kindness.

My desire is to help you, not to shame you.

There is no being in the universe more kind, more loving, or more compassionate than I am.

And instead of judging you, the judgment for sin fell on Me.

So do not be afraid to come to Me as you are—even at your worst.

With love beyond measure,

Jesus

God has a Human Heart

 

I am infinite—almighty, all‑powerful—yet at the same time, I have a human heart. I feel what you feel: love, joy, grief, anger. I am not distant from your emotions or untouched by your pain. I enter into it with you. I understand every feeling, and My compassion moves toward your grief and your struggles.

None of your emotions are wrong. Sometimes the thoughts beneath them may mislead you, but the feelings themselves are not failures. You don’t need to express every emotion outwardly, yet you do need to release shame and allow your heart to move as it was designed. You were created in My image. We are more alike than you imagine.

Know this: I am with you—closer than the air you breathe—feeling what you feel, steady with comfort, present with love.

With love beyond measure,

Jesus

He delights to dwell in your weakness

 

You may know what it is like to be battered and bruised. But you can be sure that I will never break a bruised reed or snuff out a smoldering wick (Isaiah 42:3). I see you, I protect you, and I am near.

No matter how tossed or torn your spirit is, you remain My precious child. Your finite mind cannot begin to grasp the depth of My infinite love. The light of My Spirit pours over you, filling every cell, every molecule, even the spaces between them, with My liquid love.

When you long for strength, remember this: I treasure the weak. The weak are chosen to confound the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27). And I have known weakness Myself: 

Jesus Took Your Shame—Walk in His Freedom

Do you ever feel like a lowly worm—burdened by shame, guilt, or a vague sense of worthlessness? Do you feel as though you are failing, yet you don’t even know exactly how? As if I do not fully accept you just as you are?

If you do, hear this truth: those feelings are not from Me.

Look at how I interact with My children in Scripture. I never tell an actual person that they are simply "bad" or "wrong." Instead, I gently and specifically point out areas where growth is needed. You may call yourself a loser, please don't, but you will never hear anything like that from Me. Instead, I might say, "You know your drinking is starting to affect your relationships with people you love," or "When you compare yourself to Ashley your looking for your worth in the wrong place."
