come now, let us reason together

some encouraging verses that i've really needed to see.

Isaiah 1:17-19

Seek justice,
encourage the oppressed.
Defend the cause of the fatherless,
plead the case of the widow.

"Come now, let us reason together,"
says the LORD.
"Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.

If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the best from the land;



Luke 10: 8-12

Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you.
Heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say,
'Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this,
that the kingdom of God has come near.'
I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.


Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;
time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.
