"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be like snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool." (Isaiah 1:18)
Here is our great promise: that we can be restored to our original design.
People are fascinated with restoration. Look at all the shows on HGTV, the History Channel, and other channels where old things are given new life....restored. We love that stuff.
We have the opportunity, through Christ, to be restored to a better version of ourselves than we have ever met.....the version God intended. Without blemish.
Granted, the completion of the restoration will not happen in this lifetime, but why put off the wonderful work that can be done now? Open yourself to the transforming grace of God through prayer, Scripture, sacrament, fellowship, study, and forgiveness. Oh, what a gift we have been given. Oh what promises and riches are ours for the reaping!
