Over the past two weeks a few of us have been attending a foundational class, and it has been a great blessing to all who went. One of the things that was shared was that often times we feel that even though we are Christians, because we constantly sin we feel unworthy to approach God and this prevents us from worshipping Jesus as we should. We need to recognise this as a lie and be clear that our father-child relationship with God does not change because we sin. The correct order of worshiping God is not to first straighten out ourselves then approach him, but rather it is the opposite:

Mark 2:17
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

If we go to see a doctor when we fall sick, why is it that we dare not approach the forgiver of sins when we do stumble?

Romans 8:1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus

Let us therefore be reminded that Jesus' great love that covers our sin, and how he desires us to come to him, no matter our state or condition. We started and ended that session of the foundational class with a song, which I felt was really appropriate:

So you would come
Before the world began, you were on His mind,
and every tear you cried, is precious in His eyes.
Because of His' great love, He gave his only Son,
Everything was done so you would come.

Nothing you can do, could make Him love you more,
and nothing that you've done, could make Him close the door.
Because of His' great love, He gave his only Son,
Everything was done so you would come.

Come to the Father, though your gift is small.
Broken hearts, broken lives, He will take them all,
The power of the word, The power of his blood
Everything was done so you would come.
