a reminder from Rick...

WHO JESUS CAME FOR
By Rick Warren

In my study of Gospels, I made a list of the people Jesus came for:

Jesus came for the chewed up, crossed off, crying out
The dropped out, edged out, fizzled out, and freaked out
The have nots, the held back, hung over, and knocked around

He came for the left out, the loaded down, and looked over,
The locked up, led astray, laid off, and let down
The messed up and the mixed up

He came for the passed over, the picked on, put down, pinned down,
and pushed around

The ripped off, the run down & the run over

Jesus came for people who are screwed up and shrugged off,
The shut in and shut out
The smashed up, the stacked against, and strung out

Our Savior came for the torn up, thrown away, and the turned off

Those who are used up and walked over,
The washed out, the worn out, the wiped out, and the written off

He came for you. And me.
