Isaiah 57:14-21

Isaiah 57:14-21
English Standard Version (ESV)

  It's so easy to forget how willing God is to forgive.  We imagine that God must reach a breaking point, that his love must, at some point, be exhausted.  We cannot comprehend how willing God is to forgive, but for those who are willing to come and bow the knee, who are willing to submit to his Lordship and admit our own sinfulness, there is a wealth of forgiveness richer than we can imagine.  There is no end to his love, and his desire to include you in the covenant of grace is greater than you can imagine -- he is always willing to love, willing to pay whatever price is necessary so that you might be included in the Kingdom.
  You are not lost.  We have not been forgotten, God has not given up on us.  God still loves us, no matter what, and there is still a place for us in the Kingdom of Light because of what Christ has done for us.
