Springtime, Snow, and the Cardinal
“Beloved. Come now, and let us reason together, My Bride.
Though your sins be as scarlet, they are as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as fine white wool.
You are all fair, My Love, and there is no spot in you. You are My Spotless Bride through the Blood of Jesus.
Is there a place in you that My Blood did not cleanse? No, Beloved. You are a NEW creature in Christ Jesus. You have been saved to the uttermost down to your very DNA.
Let creation sing to you. When you see a cardinal in the midst of winter, think on this. See the contrast of red against the white of the snow.
As far as the east is from the west, I have REMOVED your transgressions. The old has passed, the NEW has come!
Arise, My darling. Come away with Me, My beautiful one. For lo the winter is past; the rain is over and gone.
The flowers have appeared in the countryside; the season of singing has come, and the cooing of turtledoves is heard in our land.
There is now therefore NO condemnation to those who are IN Christ Jesus.
You are CLOTHED in Christ. You are absolutely beautiful! How could there be an imperfection in you, My Child?
Rejoice, Beloved, in this TRUTH. For by one offering I have perfected FOR ALL TIME you who are being sanctified.
I have clothed you in the Bridegroom’s Pure Garments of Salvation and covered you with My BRIGHT Robe of Righteousness and there is NO STAIN in you!”
