Seeds from a Scarlet Sister

Seeds from a Scarlet Sister ~

Isaiah 1:18 says "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow..."

I mischeviously call myself a 'Scarlet Sister in Christ'. From the world's perspective, I am scarlet because of my sins. I am far from being a perfect person (let alone Christian) in any way, shape, or form. But from Christ's perspective, I'm scarlet by the blood of his redemption. His salvation that transformed my scarletest of sins to the whitest of snows. Though I may still fumble and fall, I am forgiven. And what I long to share with others through my writings on this "Life with Autism" blog I'm writing, are the seeds of hope, humor, healing.

No matter how scarlet our sins, no matter how stained the world that we live in, no matter how difficult the journey we're on, - as long as God is our Savior, he will be with us. He will love us. He will never forsake us.

Some days I just marvel at that.

For when satan takes...

satan,

Take your lies
Take your deception
Take your temptations
I don't need them.

Take your doubts
Take your betrayal
Take your bondage
I will escape them.

Take your deals
Take your destruction
Take your captivity
I'll keep my freedom.

Take your anger
Take your fury
Take your impatience
Faith doesn't hurry.

Take your pride
Take your blame
I'll confess to Christ
I'll bear no shame.

Take your pity
Take your pain
What you mock as loss
I'll claim as gain.

Take my tears
Take what you've broken
Your door's now closed
God's window always open.
