Have you ever heard the phrase “Come as you are”? I find it so interesting that something as precious as salvation is available to any and everybody, regardless of who you are or where you’ve been. 
However, that is only the beginning of the journey. The goal is for the man who has come as they were to mature into the stature of the fullness of Christ, to become God’s Man. 
“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:” Ephesians 4:13
The man that will do great things for God must wholeheartedly go through the dealings of God to become the very man God desires him to be.
