God sent his Son to make us his sons. God sent his Spirit to enable us to relate to him—to speak to him—as his sons. It is fantastic.

“...Jesus opens his arms to his needy children and says, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest"(Matthew 11:28, NASB). The criteria for coming to Jesus is weariness. Come overwhelmed with life. Come with you wandering mind. Come messy.”
