I love the imagery of this verse...to think of how Isaiah wrote this, just as he wrote of our Savior's suffering and death...Did he know that His crimson blood would make us white as snow. I cannot help but wonder how Isaiah felt as He foretold these things...how excited was he? Did he comprehend the wonderfulness of it all?
I needed the reminder this week that His crimson blood washes away my scarlet sins so I shall be white as snow.
I am a red covered mess at times.
Yet.
He LOVES me anyway.
Hallelujah.

This Scripture has always spoken to me so profoundly. Since I was a little girl. I love the graphic you chose and how you colored the wording. Beautiful.

to know that he makes us as white as snow? This verse and this picture are filled with so much promise!!!
Thank you for sharing the hope that is in our Jesus!

Absolutely beautiful, and what an awesome reminder...we are so priveleged to be washed white as snow. I wonder, like you, if Isaiah comprehended the fullness of it...I suspect he may have as he was inspired to write these things. Can you imagine carrying this around? You have truly blessed me this morning. Happy WFW to you!
