Snow

I love snow.

Snow is beautiful when it falls. The peacefulness of watching it and blanket the earth is just overwhelming. It's most beautiful, I feel, at night. I love to stand at the window, looking out at the street lights as it falls, ever so gently. I love the new morning when it is undisturbed. Of course, that doesn't last long. By the time morning traffic hits, it's crazy and the dark mess is shoved to the side. It gets a little ugly after a while......just in time for another snow to come along and cover it all again. Another beautiful ending to a day.

But see, there is so much more to snow than just snow. God is like snow.

That blanket of perfection.

Totally undisturbed by human touch.

He is the one and only.

And then there's us. We are that dirty snow. We are the sinners that have made mistakes. We are the ones that make a mess of things. We are the ones that make things dirty again.

BUT......

There is that hope of new fallen snow. The graciousness of God that allows us to be completely and totally redeemed from all of our mistakes. We have the choice to make Christ our Savior. He is the one that cleans us and makes us pure again......
just like fallen snow.

I am not perfect. I am a sinner saved by grace. But you see, I have the blanket of that new fallen snow. I know that when my time comes, I will be wrapped and taken to the most beautiful, serene place.

Probably covered with snow........

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Are you coming with me?
