I am looking out my front window at the wrecked car still sitting in front of our home. The snow has been falling for several hours and what was a mangled mess is now covered in a beautiful white blanket so you can barely tell from my angle the car was in an accident at all. This makes me think of Isaiah 1:18, "'Come now, and let us reason together,' Says the Lord, 'Though Your sins are like scarlet, They shall be white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.'"
The snow on the car will melt and the ugliness of the wreck will be revealed again, but in Christ's blood my sins are not just covered for a day or two they are completely wiped away. No past sin will be dredged up and no future sin will melt away the forgiveness offered by His sacrifice for me. It is finished. His work is done and my salvation is secure.
Thank You for assurance found in the cleansing power of Christ's blood that washes me whiter than snow.
"Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow!" Psalm 51:7

Amen! What a wonderful promise to cling to. As our pastor, Joe, told me today. Snow is like the kiss of God. :)
Loving you. Happy Thanksgiving.
