Come Now

Come Now . . . Come to the table of My Heart,  the table of reasoning.  We can discuss  issues tripping you up  and work together on them. I am the one  who washes your scarlet  transforming it to pure snow. Please don't resist or hide. The door to My Heart  is always open.  You can't do this alone! The table of reasoning  becomes the table  of Friendship and Exchange.  Rags for riches,  Righteousness for unrighteousness! It's free to exchange  As you trade  the rights to your life, losing your life  . . . To Gain It. © 2019 Lloyd Portman - All Rights Reserved Reflection  God is amazing how He draws us with loving kindness to exchange our sin for His righteousness. Humanity needs this table of exchange regularly, as we journey through the areas which trip our lives up. The ultimate exchange we ever make is when we wholeheartedly give our Heart over to Him. In so doing we give up our rights to our life and this is the process of washing the Scarlet. Isaiah 1:18 AMP “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 like wool." The interesting part of this verse is the invitation from God. "Come now and let us reason together." This is an amazing statement from God asking us to bring and state our case. The keyword here is Reason and in the Hebrew it means to bring your case ie a legal case to be vindicated or reasoned TOGETHER.  This invitation to discuss points with Him really underscores God as one whom you can discuss things with and reason with. I get a picture here of God putting His arm around my shoulder and entreating me to state my case so we can discuss it. I don't feel condemned by Him.  In Psalms 51:10 Passion Translation,  David cries out to God. Create a new, clean heart within me. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you.  Afte
