Snow Covered

We awoke to a world of white. The view from the bedroom window is magical - icing covering the brown of late autumn. Instant transformation.

That's how God sees me, and anyone else who confesses Christ as their Savior.

Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool."

He sees me through the blood of Christ, and He sees me as pure as the driven snow.


2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.


It is a beautiful mystery. Although I'm still trapped in my sinful flesh, in a sinful world, Christ's work is done and I simply need believe. And obey. Obedience is a part of my sanctification - becoming more like Christ - a process of growth which proves my faith. Obedience is not the way to heaven, but simply provides the landmarks assuring me that I'm on the right path...the only path. It proves my confession of faith.


John 14:15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." [-Jesus]


This world is more beautiful with the covering of fresh white powder. I am more beautiful as I abide in Him and let Him transform me. Obedience has a price, but what I surrender is worthless - dead and brown and withered in comparison. What I gain is eternal life, and peace in this journey.

Let it snow.
