Snow Began To Fall Today...

and I was reminded of God's great love for us. We are, as the earth, covered with the debris of sin. There are huge boulders that seem unmovable in our hearts based on our unbelief. There are small twigs that seem to trip us up as we walk along, the little sins we harbor. There are huge holes where we've been hit by life and the damage is still present and the vast space it spans is filled with pain. But, as the snow began to fall this morning it covered it all - the twigs, the boulders, and the huge holes. I was amazed at the spotless, whiteness that covered everything. Just as Jesus' blood was shed for our forgiveness it cleanses our hearts when we invite him in and we become as white and spotless as the snow. This thick, white blanket covers us and reminds of us of his vast love - all spotless and white.
