Isaiah 64:6 “All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.”
I know.
It’s kind of a depressing verse when you just read through it.
But it’s been a verse that’s been on my mind lately. A reminder that I can’t be good enough or do all the right things or earn God’s love.
My righteous acts are like filthy rags when held in comparison to His holiness. He is the one who makes me clean in spite of myself. I can’t do it. He doesn’t expect me to do it. Yet He loves me in the midst of all my struggles.
So what about you? Are there any verses that God has used to speak to you lately?
