Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd’st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
– From a hymn by Charlotte Elliott
It is all His mercy that we have any revelation or vision. We have nothing to boast of in following the Lord. We come to Him, as the hymn says, “just as I am, without one plea.” We can’t claim credit for anything.

by Titus Chu, page 133.
