Christ never pushes us away. With every moment of every day he wants us to come closer. It is our own limitations, prejudices, fear, and lack of desire that push back, telling him that we are not wanting a closer relationship. But the closer we come to Christ, the more we are able to reflect his light to the world.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

In His Love, He Comes

In Our Aloneness, He Comes
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

In Our Repentance, We Come
