Powerful message in that song, Russ. He received me just as I was, a mere lad of five when I raise my hand during the invitation prayer so many years ago.
Now with the holidays approaching, I'm reminded of thoughts of childhood.
In my mind, I had thought of getting a big box, wrapping it with Christmas wrap and ribbon with a tag that said, "To Jesus" and placing it under the tree. I couldn't figure out how to climb inside the box after getting it all wrapped and sealed.
Nonetheless, He accepted me without the fancy decorations - Just as I was.
Amen!!
What a sweet way to put that!
How profound are those four simple words!
