God doesn’t say, “Come to me if you’re perfect or come to me if you’re crushing it at work. Come to me if you’re the perfect parent. Come to me if you finally have that drinking under control. Come to me if it’s been a few weeks since you lost your temper. Come to me once you get out of that relationship you know is bad for you. Come to me once you have proven you can perform.” No, God says, “Come to me if you’re weary. Come to me if you’re sick and tired of not feeling good enough. Come to me if you can’t live up to expectations. Come to me if you have tried over and over to be good enough but can’t seem to cut it.” THAT is grace. That is the love of your Savior. That is the soul level approval of the one who made your soul and loves your soul.
