@heartathome "The heart of the verse is that God does not ask struggling people to become strong before coming to Him. He welcomes them while they are tired and burdened, and offers compassion, renewal, and hope. 💚"
That is the best part of The Gospel. It is not us lifting ourselves up into Heaven becoming good Christians trying hardest, but God coming down into our wretchedness and corruption and cleansing us with His blood down there and bring us New Life in and with Him

Rapture
I thought I been no good all my life,
held fast in cold, loveless strife.
Most of me had little faith in grace,
my loveless ways hid me from His face.
In my bad life I was untrue, insincere,
weak, overcome, consumed by fear.
I could not believe God loved me as well,
still listening to what those liars tell.
Great hailstones pounded down on me,
as I saw how wrong I come to be.
Fire and brimstone fed despair,
truthfully loving thoughts were rare.
“Where is your God?” tormentors cried,
the pit yawned open, dark and wide.
My good life burned up as I fell down,
in my godlessness I began to drown.
Unbearable agony—sinner's fate,
flames of lies that burn and berate.
Self-hate stoked the furnace high,
gnashing teeth, an endless cry.
So I languished, lost in fate,
still asking how I come too late.
Unbelief constantly feeding misery,
as I watched myself turn ungodly.
My hell an endless, tortured night,
born from the bad life held inside.
Loveless deeds, untrue and deep,
now fire and judgement reap for keeps.
But after years, the Truth broke through,
God's grace reached into all I knew.
My bad life left to judgement's keep,
as angels came and reaped His sheep.
Awakened, i rose as from the dead,
His breath of truth filled me instead.
An army stood within my soul,
His blazing light became my goal.
Then in a moment, i rose to the sky,
to meet my Lord in the blink of an eye.
Behind me fell the rule of the lie,
as judgement answered every cry.
His smile held no trace of harm,
sin lost its will within His charm.
Even as He baptised me His holy fire,
truth restoring my life's desire.
A holy host Jesus brought down from Above,
rebuilding me in His kingdom of love.
He taught my heart His righteous way,
His love drove the rule of wrong away.
