{Isaiah 43]

((photocredit:beks))

"But now thus says the LORD,

he who created you, O Jacob,

he who formed you, O Israel

'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name,

you are mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;

I am the LORD your God...

Because you are precious in my eyes...

and I love you...

'You are my witnesses,' declares the LORD,

'and my servant whom I have chosen,

that you may know and believe me...

I declared and saved and proclaimed...

I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.' "

(the most glorious promise of all, the one that makes all others possible:)

"I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,

and I will not remember your sins."
