“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them white as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18, NLT)
The craftsmen examine the wool. They set aside the purest white wool to be used in its natural color. The wool that is not pure white is placed in a vat to be dyed … The dye covers the flaws and makes the wool attractive and useful.
I look at my life and see many failures. However, just like the wool that could not meet the standards of pure white, I can still have value. God has not only forgiven my sins, He covers my flaws with Himself, and I am made beautiful and useful.
Our value comes not from who or what we are, but from what God makes of us.
