Topic: White (10/29/09)
As fall fades away and winter appears, I know what to expect living in New England. In fact, this year we have already had our first taste of snow. In October we were treated to about two inches of the fluffy powder, so expectations are that it will be a long winter.

In New England, it is not uncommon to wake up in the morning, open the front door to get the paper, and find yourself staring at a foot of fresh, untouched snow. When we get a snow like this, it is beautiful to behold (unless of course you have to dig your way to the car and go to work!) and is usually accompanied by a silence that has no parallel.

The pure, white snow stretches as far as the eye can see; covering everything it is powdery shroud. The fresh snow is a treat for one’s eyes, gorgeous and untouched. When the sun shines on the snow the whiteness is blinding, so bright that you have to squint or cover your eyes to not have the brightness temporarily superimposed onto your retinas.

As bright as this is; however, it is no match for the pure white we become when we come to Jesus Christ, accept him as our Lord and Savior, and get washed in His precious blood. No matter how bad you have been in your life, how many sins you have committed, or the number of commandments you have broken; all you need to do is come to the Lord, humble yourself and admit that you need Him in your life, He will accept you, forgive you, and make you whole. You will receive the greatest gift you have ever imagined, eternal life with a loving Father who will meet your every need just for trusting in Him.

Father, thank you for the gift you have given this filthy sinner, even though I have done nothing to be worthy of your love. I know I will never be able to repay your generosity, but I will do what I can to continue to glorify you and your Son until the day I am blessed enough to join you. Amen.

Good comparisons to the brite white snow and our sins when they are washed white as snow.

I am very familiar with the silence of freshly fallen snow. But nothing can compare with the beauty of our Lord. Thank you.
