It seems God’s favorite word is come.

“Come, let us talk about these things. Though your sins are like scarlet, they can be as white as snow.”

“All you who are thirsty, come and drink.”

“Come to me all, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest.”

“Come to the wedding feast.”

“Come follow me, and I will make you fish for people.”

“Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.”

God is a God who invites. God is a God who calls. God is a God who opens the door and waves his hand pointing pilgrims to a full table. His invitation is not just for a meal, however, it is for life. An invitation to come into his kingdom and take up residence in a tearless, graveless, painless world. Who can come? Whoever wishes. The invitation is at once universal and personal. - Max Lucado from And the Angels Were Silent
