"There never was one who came to him with a broken heart, but he healed him. He never said to one, "You are too bad for me to heal;" but he did say, "Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out." My dear hearer, he will not cast you out. You say, "You do not know me, Mr. Spurgeon." No, I do not; and you have come here to-night, and you hardly know why you are here; only you are very low and very sad.
The Lord Jesus Christ loves such as you are, you poor, desponding, doubting, desolate, disconsolate one. Daughters of sorrow, sons of grief, look ye here! Jesus Christ has gone on healing broken hearts for thousands of years, and he is well up in the business. He understands it by experience, as well as by education. He is "mighty to save." Consider him; consider him; and the Lord grant you grace to come and trust him even now!"

Hi Susan, thanks for the visit and encouragment.
I hope you don't tkis wrong, but I see Jesus as the human trash collector when it comes to me. He takes trash, and slowy but surely over time rebuilds it. He does accept us just as we are, then He starts the overhaul process.

@NVRSAD_DAY - Frank.....lighten up.....He takes us just as we are.....and gives us a new heart for Him....all of us have to change and "be holy as He is holy.....blessings....
Amen to this. Praise God that He accepts us through Christ!
He is mighty to save....I have to say that I like that one as I begin this new Bible study. I might have to hold on to that one when the frig starts calling and I am not really hungry.
Yes, mighty to save! Great devo!
And there was never one who came to Him in a clean state; any one of us was as lost and sinful as any other. And He loved us while we were yet sinners... praise God for His work of sanctifying us~
Thanks for sharing... gotta love Mr. Spurgeon!
