Great little passage today...come as you are is essentially the message.  And that’s a great son that I haven’t listened to in a while, by David Crowder.  We are all called to God at different points in our lives, in different states, and with different conditions, but God doesn’t care about that - He just calls us forward.  He calls us to put down what we are carrying.  He doesn’t ask us to change.  He doesn’t ask for circumcision, He doesn’t ask for a certain behavior, He doesn’t ask for us to reach a certain level of purity or care...just come.  Come taste the Grace, as Crowder says in his song.

Paul is is writing to address the misconceptions about circumcision and to clear the air for these Jewish Christians and non-Jewish Christians to be able to worship together.  He is writing to make sure people understand that God doesn’t call us to all be pastors either.  God just calls us.  And our calling is our own unique experience between us and God.

I am already enough, because it isn’t about me.  You are enough, because it isn’t about you either.  God has called us because HE is enough...He is enough to take us as we are, to use us as we are, and to grow us starting from right here, right now, into the person He wants us to be.  It is a beautiful idea to start the day with today!
