Come.

Hear the Bridegroom say:

Come, you sinners, weak and broken.
Come, when you have fallen again and you wonder if you will ever be free.
Come, come now, and just be with Me.

I am not mad at you.
I don't look upon you with disappointment or anger,
as if that's even possible.

No, look into My eyes.
Don't be afraid to lift your gaze up to Me
because there is no condemnation for you
because I took it all.

So look up.
I Am smiling.
Out of love for you.
Out of the sheer pleasure and delight I take in you.

Come, weary ones,
let Me scoop you up.
Bury your head in my chest
and let Me hold you now.

You don't have to be afraid,
I won't send you away.

Instead, beloved children,
I invite you in.

Dirty or clean
Broken or healed
Nothing you could ever do or say would ever turn Me away from you.

So, come.
Come here with Me.
And rest.

Forever, you are Mine.
Forever, you are loved.
Forever, you are cared for.

And the King continues His Song of Redemption.
