A Golden Treasury for the Children of God
by Carl Heinrich von Bogatzky
Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall he whiter than snow.
- Psalms 51:7
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities; - Psalms 51:2
Though your sins, be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. - Isaiah 1:18
I have blotted out as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and as a cloud thy sins. Return unto me, for I have redeemed thee. - Isaiah 44:22
We must not keep away from Christ on account of our stumblings and manifold faults, if we will not come under the law again; but by humbling ourselves directly, we are to crave pardon in his blood, By delaying this, our case will be worse. But the sooner it is done, the sooner we shall be forgiven. The Lord not imputing those sins to us, which are sincerely repented of, our soul returns to its rest again. And instead of falling into carnal security (as some may think) it will rather strengthen our faith and make us more confident. Hasten, therefore, and come as soon and as well as thou canst. He will receive thee, if thou couldst but creep.
O Lord, I fall before thy face
My only refuge is thy grace;
No bleeding beast, nor flood, nor sea
Can wash the dismal stain away.
Jesus, my God, thy blood alone,
Has power sufficient to atone:
Thy blood can make me white as snow;
No Jewish types could cleanse me so.

“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18
A reassuring invitation and a priceless promise from our Lord and savior…
Let us run to Him and find rest for our souls.

Just because I don't see eye to eye with someone on certain things, doesn't mean that I wish them ill.
You'd literally have to be a criminal & actively hurting people, especially kids, for me to hate you.
And even then, I'll still pray for you to find your way.
After all, "God is not willing that any should perish, but everyone to come to repentance." - 2 Peter 3:9
And "Come now, & let us reason together." - Isaiah 1:18
So, if God is willing to give the chance of repentance to all freely & is willing to reason with us, then what right do I have to deny those individuals that same courtesy?
Ergo, let us reason. Without hate in our hearts.

To Err is Human…..But Who Likes Erring?
I spend many hours of my day on my computer. As we travelled back to Austin, I was typing my next blog. My computer is one of my best friends. I spend more time with it than anything else. With all the typing, editing and publishing I do, I have apps that correct spelling errors, punctuation errors and even word arrangements.
Most of my social media posts are mistake-free because of those apps.…

Isaiah 11:1-6 (NASB). “Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch from his roots will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And He will delight in the fear of the Lord, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make decisions by what His ears hear; But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the humble of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked. Also righteousness will be the belt around His hips, And faithfulness the belt around His waist. And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fattened steer will be together; And a little boy will lead them.”
2 Timothy 4:18 (AMPC). “[And indeed] the Lord will certainly deliver and draw me to Himself from every assault of evil. He will preserve and bring me safe unto His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen (so be it).”
“A Promised Hope” by In Touch Ministries:
“If you are in a season of waiting, don't become discouraged—the Lord always delivers.”
“Sometimes it can be hard to grasp how much time passed between events in the Bible. After the Old Testament’s completion, for instance, 400 years passed before God’s next direct revelation.
Let’s put that span in terms we can better comprehend. In 1620, the Pilgrims landed on the shores of what would become Massachusetts. That was 404 years ago. Think of all that has happened since then—everything from the American Revolution to man walking on the moon to the creation of artificial intelligence. God’s people waited that long without a word from the Lord! While many grew despondent, others clung to hope.
Anna, for example, was a widow and prophetess who served at the temple in Jerusalem, waiting for Israel’s redemption. She trusted that “A shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse ... and the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him” (Isa. 11:1-2). This promised Messiah would bring order, strength, counsel, and wisdom as He delighted in the Lord, and He would make everything right.
Then, at the appointed time, Anna witnessed the miracle of fulfilled prophecy as she gazed into the face of the tiny baby Jesus. In response, she praised and thanked God for being faithful to His promise (Luke 2:38). Like her, we can praise God, secure in the knowledge that God will do all He says He will do.”

Adoption Song
Some of the best wisdom I ever received was this: Put Your Identity Wholly-Holy In Christ Jesus. I am so glad I did and I hope you do too. We are adopted by God, We belong to Jesus Christ. Awe-GOD! God bless ya. Have a great day!
Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts! And in love he chose us before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as…
