"COME AS YOU ARE" by Chidiya Ohiagu: An Invitation to True Freedom


Imagine carrying the weight of your brokenness, feeling too shattered to seek God's help. What if there's a loving invitation waiting for you to come as you are? The song "COME AS YOU ARE" by Chidiya Ohiagu takes a closer look at Jesus' timeless invitation from Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Chidiya encourages us to trust the promise and approach God just as we are, regardless of any imperfections we have. 

Chidiya Ohiagu - COME AS YOU AREIn the first verse, Chidiya sings, "Every broken heart // All the wounded parts // All the imperfect pieces that fall apart // He can heal them all." Nothing in our lives can possibly be too damaged for Him to repair. The chorus emphasizes the change that He creates in us, "Come as you are, you won't stay as you were." This isn't about relying on our own abilities to try to fix ourselves until we are worthy enough to reach out to God. The song is about stepping into His freedom from any shame we may feel, because "Healing starts when He comes… Just one touch is all it takes." 

Have you ever asked yourself if you're enough? Then listen to this song and read Matthew 11:28. The answer is a definite "yes," you are enough, because He is enough. Instead of trying to go through life on your own, trust in His embrace. Going through life is about walking with God. It isn't a solo act. 

So, go ahead and listen to "COME AS YOU ARE". May you accept His life-changing invitation to find rest, freedom, and safety in His arms today.

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28; John 3:16; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:17)

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

"Coming Out Of Babylon" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: Finding Purpose and Joy in Christ

Robert Peterson had barely dusted off his drum kit when the Lord handed him a new setlist. Robert shares: "this current round of songs being created were different - they were all his - well sort of all his." He had decided it was time to offer up his talents to the Lord. Robert writes: "I was mortified at the thought of actually giving my life to Him. I didn't want to give up who I thought I was."   "Coming Out of Babylon" is the first song coming out of this change (one that was on the shelve a while pending creation of a intro). The result is a five-minute testimony that turns a trembling surrender into a victory march. As you listen, you can feel how this slow ache of "doing what I wanted to… without a fear" transitions into the realization that "I needed You - all the way."   What I enjoy about the song is that it helps to see "leaving" as the first step that is needed to following His calling for us. The chorus emph...
