neither be ye afraid

Even if you are considered a black sheep,

according to the world’s standards,

the Lord can use you…

perhaps for the very reason

that your wool “cannot” be dyed.

“Hearken unto me,

ye that know righteousness,

the people in whose heart is my law;

fear ye not the reproach of men,

neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment,

and the worm shall eat them like wool:

but my righteousness shall be for ever,

and my salvation

from generation to generation.”

- Isaiah 51:7, 8
