Steadfastly

"God wants you. He is not looking for reasons to disown you. But He is looking for reasons to help you, and to bring you, and to draw you. He is saying come let us talk it over, come let us reason together says the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson they shall be white as wool. These are the words that God Himself is giving to you."

"God's plan for people right at the very beginning was to bring them to a point where there wouldn't be anything that they could blame man for. Then He used another word, He didn't say that they would be unreproved that would be present tense. But those who've slipped their hands into His and are wanting to walk with God and are putting their faith in that blood, He said that you're unreprovable."

"Our problem is that we look at how we see ourselves, we look at how people see us and then we project that up to God and say, "God look at me and all my failures and everything else," God wants us to know that we can look up at God's face unreprovable!"

"But as you walk along with Him, you can know that you're unblameable and unreprovable in His sight and you don't have to worry about the situation because you can't hide from Him anyway. He can look right smack through you. He knows all that's there so there's no point in being anything but yourself. But when you're with Him you're in the safest place there is in the whole universe. Hallelujah."
