“‘Come As You Are’ is God’s response to us. It is what I hope that God would say to his kids. It’s definitely also a thought of me as a father, thinking about what I would say to my daughters. It doesn’t matter where you are, doesn’t matter where you’ve been. Come to me, there’s no need to wait. There’s no need to hide anything. I am fully capable and able to handle all of your stuff.” – David Leonard
