Come unto Me.

     — Matthew 11:28

Is it not humiliating to be told that we must come to Jesus! Think of
the things we will not come to Jesus Christ about. If you want to
know how real you are, test yourself by these words – “Come unto Me.”
In every degree in which you are not real, you will dispute rather
than come, you will quibble rather than come, you will go through
sorrow rather than come, you will do anything rather than come the
last lap of unutterable foolishness – “Just as I am.” As long as you
have the tiniest bit of spiritual impertinence, it will always reveal
itself in the fact that you are expecting God to tell you to do a big
thing, and all He is telling you to do is to “come.”

“Come unto Me.” When you hear those words you will know that
something must happen in you before you can come. The Holy Spirit
will show you what you have to do, anything at all that will put the
axe at the root of the thing which is preventing you from getting
through. You will never get further until you are willing to do that
one thing. The Holy Spirit will locate the one impregnable thing in
you, but He cannot budge it unless you are willing to let Him.

How often have you come to God with your requests and gone away with
the feeling – Oh, well, I have done it this time! And yet you go away
with nothing, whilst all the time God has stood with outstretched
hands not only to take you, but for you to take Him. Think of the
invincible, unconquerable, unwearying patience of Jesus – “Come unto
Me.”
