As white as snow...

Back in year 2005, it snowed here where I live and it rarely happens. Everyone was excited to see the snow flakes raining down on everything, the roof tops, the ground, the roads..As I got off from work that morning, I had a message from my son who excitedly told me about that unexpected event. Sure enough, when I got to familiar roads, I couldn't even recognize since everything was covered with snow. It was like a dream. Despite the many constructions at that time, the dust and the ground were not even there to be seen as everything was just beautiful covered in white snow! This experience reminded me of how, spiritually speaking, we are all smudged with dirt called sins. Its penalty is death. But if we accept Jesus into our hearts and truly believe that He is Lord, that He came here as a man, died on the cross and rose again, our dirt [sins] would be like as white as snow. From Isaiah 1:18, "No matter how deep the stain of sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you white as wool." Thanks be to God. That He is offering His gift of salvation to anyone who readily welcomes Him into their hearts. John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life...If you are feeling down and out, if you had reached the ends of your rope, if you had reached the ends of the road where you travel and there seemed to be no hope, no direction, God has been inviting all of us to accept and open His gift of salvation. "It is a gift from God."-Ephesians 2:8. It's as easy as saying this prayer. Just pray it out loud and mean it with all of your heart..."Dear Father, I admit that I am a sinner. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for me. I trust Jesus Christ to forgive my sins right now. Let me start a new and meaningful life with You today. Amen." God bless and may you discover the Lord's love more and more...
