Isaiah 57: 15, 18 -19 ‘For this is what the high and lofty One says – He who lives forever, whose name is Holy: I live in a high and holy place, But also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of the contrite… Vs 18 I have seen his ways but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him, Creating praise on the lips. ’

Isaiah 6: 1 -8 “In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord

Isaiah 6: 1 -8 “In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above Him were seraphs, each with 6 wings: with 2 wings they covered their faces, with 2 they covered their feet, and with 2 they were flying. They were calling to one another, “Holy, holy is the LORD Almighty, the whole earth is full of his glory’. “Woe to me!’ I cried. I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty’. Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, ‘See, this has touched your lips and your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for’. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who go for us? ’ And I said, ‘Here I am. Send me’.
