Salvation sent

"He saw that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; and His own righteousness, it sustained Him" ~Is 59:16~

It's a sad thing when God will not hear you. Is 59:3 says: But you iniquities have separated you from your god; and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear....Our sins. Heavy burden to bear. O, the guilt, the shame, the despair, hopelessly without peace. Yet, just a few verses later, He reminds us that He looked down, saw that there was no intercessor, and His own Son brought salvation for Him. God's righteousness sustained Jesus to come as our Savior. We are not left without hope. We are not left without help. Jesus paid the price for our most horrible, and embarrassing sins. He did this so that we might be free. Don't let satan bind you any longer with heavy weights you were never meant to carry. Run to the feet of Jesus, cast them there. Let His forgiveness and His love envelope you and lift you up in peace and hope. His burden is easy. His yoke is light.
