\u201dI have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHear the word of the LORD, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands far away; say, \u2018He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zechariah 10:8<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI will whistle for them and gather them in, for I have redeemed them, and they shall be as many as they were before.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 11:11<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people<\/p>\n

Isaiah 55:1<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u201cCome, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.\u00a0\u00a0Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.\u00a0\u00a0Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.<\/p>\n

Matthew 11:28<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.<\/p>\n

1 Timothy 2:4<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.\u00a0\u00a0For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,\u00a0\u00a0who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.<\/p>\n

Revelation 22:17<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The Spirit and the Bride say, \u201cCome.\u201d And let the one who hears say, \u201cCome.\u201d And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.<\/p>\n

What a blessing to be reminded of God’s sovereign plan, provision, grace, mercy and love through outstretched hand to His creation. \u00a0Who of us does not experience heavy burdens and needs rest? \u00a0Who of us does not want to be invited to come to Him? \u00a0God has made provision and called out to us with promises only He can make and fulfill. \u00a0Run to Him, His arms are wide open.<\/p>\n
