Wash Up & Eat

Open up to Me and you'll see gems of many colors. The posture you take will be important, for you can not see them when you are high and haughty. The meek inherit. But the proud fall down with thunder. 

So come in humble. Come in contrite. Wear forgiveness and let My righteousness be your everlasting light. Your own righteousness is like filthy rags. You can not show up to the King's table wearing that. So take them off and put on the royal robes! My righteousness is sufficient! You can count on that fact!

And when you are seated, clean and washed, you'll be served with the finest no other kingdom can match! For I serve the most delicious food one can taste! I serve it up fried, boiled, poached and baked! I serve it with splendor and joy! I serve it with laughter -- not tears! No sorrow at this table! No sorrow here!

Copilot

And when you are done, as you lick your plate clean, you'll look up and find that there's even more behind the scenes! hahaha! Yes, I never run out -- that's just how it is in My house! Plenty and plenty and more and more... It won't ever dry up! There will always be more behind the next door! hahaha!

So, darling, come. 
Ask for forgiveness and I will give it freely.
And go and make it right
with those you've sinned against -- 
anyone. Yes, anyone. I will give you the grace and mercy.

And then come back and let's eat!
For the meal is set!
You are clean, you are forgiven
and now you will feast on the best!

For we all have become like one who is [ceremonially] unclean [like a leper], And all our deeds of righteousness are like filthy rags; We all wither and decay like a leaf, And our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing], like the wind, takes us away [carrying us far from God’s favor, toward destruction]. [Lev 13:45, 46]

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭64‬:‭6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

…Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness].” [Prov 3:34] So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you. Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts, you double-minded [people]. Be miserable and grieve and weep [over your sin]. Let your [foolish] laughter be turned to mourning and your [reckless] joy to gloom. Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose]. 
Believers, do not speak against or slander one another. He who speaks [self-righteously] against a brother or judges his brother [hypocritically], speaks against the Law and judges the Law. If you judge the Law, you are not a doer of the Law but a judge of it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy [the one God who has the absolute power of life and death]; but who are you to [hypocritically or self-righteously] pass judgment on your neighbor?

“You have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and ‘Whoever murders shall be guilty before the court.’ [Ex 20:13; Deut 5:17; 16:18] 

“But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice against him shall be guilty before the court; and whoever speaks [contemptuously and insultingly] to his brother, ‘Raca (You empty-headed idiot)!’ shall be guilty before the supreme court (Sanhedrin); and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the fiery hell. So if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and while there you remember that your brother has something [such as a grievance or legitimate complaint] against you, leave your offering there at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come and present your offering. Come to terms quickly [at the earliest opportunity] with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way [to court], so that your opponent does not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you are thrown into prison. [Luke 12:58, 59] I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid the last cent.
