Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lost nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day."

John 6:35-40

No matter where or what you are in life, rich or poor, healthy or helpless, just know that God accepts you as you are. In John’s gospel, people came from miles around to hear Jesus. When they became hungry He fed them food and nourished them with His food, life eternal. It is still true today. No one who comes to Jesus will be turned away. Come to Him with all your sin. He will accept you just as you are.

No one is too good or too bad to be saved.
