Woe unto..wait what?

In Isaiah 6 the prophet Isaiah is thrust into heaven and sees the throne room and God and he's all "Woe unto me, I'm ruined!  For I am in a man of unclean lips.."  So then an angel goes and touches his lips with some coal and says "Now you're clean".  So what does God want to do when we feel unclean?  Well, he wants change what you say, “you’re clean.”  We might be tempted to act like Isaiah here, and every time we get around God's presence, like when we go to church, we feel so unworthy.  We might be tempted to follow Isaiah's footsteps.  "Woe unto me"  But here's the difference.  When you received what Jesus did for you on the cross, well, you are made clean.  You are not unworthy, you are not unclean. God has made you worthy.  It's like looking at the house someone just cleaned and saying, wow, this place is a mess. So you just insulted whoever just cleaned it.  God has paid an enormous price to clean your house, so stop saying your so unworthy, and just be happy your with God.  When you decide to act all unworthy like Isaiah you are forgetting the cross, for Isaiah Christ hadn’t died yet, but for you, well He has.
