I picture myself in a pretty, white dress. Dancing and laughing and joyful in a field of flowers. Then I lost my innocence. The flowers died and my smile faded until it was completely gone. My dress was ripped and dirty until the white turned black. I lost my innocence. I gave it away. I’m sitting in the middle of the dead flowers, depressed and hopeless and dirty. Then, I notice Someone approach me. I look up at Him from my spot on the ground, but His face is too bright. His whole being is too bright; brighter than the sun. I sheild my eyes and see that His hand is reaching out to me. Should I take it? But He’s so clean and perfect and holy and I’m…not. But what could I possibly lose? I reach up and take His hand. He pulls me up and says, “Come now, let us settle the matter. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” [Isaiah 1:18 NIV] Then I notice something about His wrist. Without thinking, I reach out and touch the scar. I’m clean, because He has made me clean. I’m innocent because He has given me back my innocence. He has set me free. I’m holy because of what He did. For me. Tears blur my eyes as I fall to the ground at His feet. After awhile, He reaches for me again. We’re laughing and I’m spinning around and my heart is free, full of joy. Different than before. I know Joy. I know Love. I know Peace. I was dirty and lost and hurting. I know Freedom. I notice my dress is white again. No signs of stain or tear. The flowers are taller, brighter in color, more abundant. More tears fall, this time from joy. I dance with my Savior in worship and I live in peace knowing my past is forgotten. My slate is clean. My sin is forgiven. I have finally found where I belong; in the Presence of my Savior and King. In the Presence of Love Himself. I am clean.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0rlacnhSN1qe49wpo1_500.jpg)
