Pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo with a depth of gratitude that wells up from the very marrow of your bones:

“‘Come now, let us reason together,’ says the LORD. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.’”
(Isaiah 1:18)

Oh, Jesus.

I needed this today.

It’s so easy to become overwhelmed by the magnitude and number of my sins.

No, thankfully…

I don’t think about them all the time.

If I did, I wouldn’t be able to breathe
I couldn’t survive.

But sometimes when I start to lash out in judgment against somebody else

the memory of my own sins suddenly comes rushing over me
with the devastating impact of a tsunami

and I’m swept away head over heels
tossed like a rag doll in a raging current of guilt

until You pull me out of the torrent
by the power of Your blood on the cross and say:

My

sins

are

gone.
