“No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it.
I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow.
Even if you are stained as red as crimson,
I can make you as white as wool.
~Is. 1:18
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count,
from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes,
and palm branches were in their hands;
~Rev. 7:9
Then one of the elders answered, saying to me,
“These who are clothed in the white robes,
who are they, and where have they come from?”
I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me,
“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation,
and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
“For this reason, they are before the throne of God;
and they serve Him day and night in His temple;
and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.
“They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them,
nor any heat; for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd,
and will guide them to springs of the water of life;
and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
~Rev. 7:14-17

Oh how I long to be there- dressed in white, embraced, having my tears dried by the hand of the One who made me and knows me... and loves me.
Longing for the same with you my friend.
What a surprise! I was expecting a multitide of bright colors as in the previous days' photos. It's nice to be caught off guard like that, kind of like when the Lord throws us an unanticipated but pleasant curve. Just to make sure we're paying attention. And there's nothing better than being reminded of the hope of glory.
This absolutely kissed my soul! Thank you, Christa. I have no more words at the moment.
Have a cup o'joy
and a fresh taste of the bread of heaven...
