Come as you are!
I have to share this; it is hilarious and definitely makes a point. So, I get texts sent to my phone for when a package is dropped off, just in case it's on the steps by the mailboxes. I have to run a couple of flights down and make sure it's there on the steps, if the package isn't at my door.
Well I get pinged from UPS that my package is here. I run down and no package. I go to the street and see the UPS truck across the street at a high rise apartment, and am running barefoot downtown across the roads. I shout to the UPS driver running to the door of the other apartments across the street. She then said that she left my delivery by the office door. I told her she's not to leave it there and then cross the busy downtown street barefooted, dancing on the asphalt with the rocks in the road, and to the office of my complex and no package with my name on it.
So I run back across the street barefoot standing in the middle of the road raising my hand up for the UPS driver to stop and tell her my package isn't there. She then goes on to dismiss it but pulls into the median. I run barefoot down the road of downtown Birmingham to her truck and low and behold there is my delivery still on her truck. She tried to say that another UPS driver was there and had my package and I told her that I was certain she had it. OH MY! So I finally get my package after I've run up and down the street and run back and forth two times across the street! Sometimes, people want to look pretty for their deliverance! Woo hooo now that will preach!
Sometimes you have to come as you are to God, desperate for Him, to get your deliverance! I came as I was, when He delivered me years ago! We are so busy worrying about what people might think about us in getting our deliverance. NOT ME!!!!!!!!! I ran across the street all around three apartment complexes, not worried that people were thinking, "who is this woman running across the street barefoot, shouting and in the middle of the road stopping traffic!" LOL ROFL DO YOU HEAR THIS?????? I wanted my delivery!!!! I didn't care how I looked in getting it!
God bless! Robin Kirby Gatto
