Snow Makes Me Think Of...

I know waking up to snow this morning stirred joy, hope and excitement in many people, even if it was only a dusting. Whether it's kids wanting to play in the snow or older ones wanting to hit the slopes to ski or board, today is a start! The chance to get out and play in it, for some, is like nothing else. But what I couldn't stop thinking about this morning when I saw the ground lightly covered was Isaiah 1:18. It says, "Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. What an incredible promise to all those who believe in Jesus. Just as the ground was covered this morning with pure white powder, so also does the Lord cover our sins and making them white as snow. What an amazing picture this gives us of Him and His forgiveness. What great love He has for us to do this. As we go out in the snow today, or as we hit the slopes (when we get more snow), never lose sight of this picture. His blood washing over our sins and making them as white as snow, all because of His love for us.
