Come Now, Let Us Set Things Right: Prayer Journal Illustration


What a lovely verse Isaiah 1:18 is!  What a wonderful promise!  I imagine myself washing my scarlet hands in the River of Life.  I watch the scarlet flow away to the distance and I rejoice as my hands become white as snow, my sins washed away.  Who are we that the Lord calls us to come and invites us to set things right?  And yet he does.  

May this season of Lent draw us specially closer to God.  How ever far away we are from Him, He is always ready to draw near to us.  I am so grateful!

I'm sharing this in Paint Party Friday, Studio Sneak Peek, Faith Filled Friday, and Heartprint Hallelujahs.

    It's all captured in the verse. Indeed, may the season of Lent bring us more closer to God.

    What a coincidence. God gave me that verse too in my post yesterday. God is really a source of wisdom. He is giving so much revelation from His words

    Washed clean in the Living Water...made whiter than snow through the shedding of His crimson blood. What a Saviour.
