Welcomed!

I will not reject anyone.
35 [a]Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. 36 But I told you that although you have seen [me], you do not believe. 37 Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, 38 because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. 39 And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day.”-John6:35-40

I am truly touched by Jesus' words, "...I will not reject anyone who comes to me..." I am trying to be Christ-like. I want to be another Christ to others. I want to live and imitate Christ. To be Christ-like, one has to be like Him, of course. To be like Him, one has to be Love. And Love asks that we do not reject anybody. Sigh. Easier said than done, but, through the grace of God, we can and we can try and try. They said that rejection has its benefits too. However, must we resort always to rejection even if we have a choice to be open and accepting especially to the many blessings of God?
