let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful – Hebrews 10:22-23
Come as you are. Just as I am.
Has there ever been a more beautiful invitation?
A sinner washed clean. A fighter scoring the knockout punch. A beloved realizing their worth.
Is there anything more joyful?
The invitation is for You. You are beloved.
Have you felt the joy?
Will you revel in it? Will you spread it? Will you extend the offer to others?
It’s not really the kind of joy you can hold inside, is it?

HE took my sins away! He took my sins away! And keeps me singing every day! I’m so glad, He took my sins away, He took my sins away! Couldn’t help but sing this old song when I saw your video! Nothing like having your sins washed away in baptism. So thankful for that experience and that life changing renewal. Thank you Shelly! ♥
