"As White As Snow"



Freshly fallen snow...what a beautiful sight! I love watching it come down and seeing nothing but white cover our yard. It doesn't stay that way for long, though. Soon there are footprints, snow angels and attempts at making snowmen.

And days after, this color of "white" soon becomes a "dirty white"...not such a beautiful sight to look at now. This reminds me of sin. I know, this is not a new thought. I'm not creative in this. We all know that dirty things enter our hearts and minds that take away that beautiful color of white. Thank God for His gift of forgiveness! But it's our choice you know. We can choose white (or purity), or we can choose dirty white (or sin). At times, this dirty white color turns to brown or black. Let us not allow our hearts to get to that point.

As the new year approaches, let's focus on keeping our hearts "as white as snow"!

"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." Isaiah 1:18

In my favorite sport, tennis, it really is helpful to have a good serve. It could help you in winning more games. In the same way, life is a lot like that. We need to do our best in "serving" others. Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve. There are many ways to do this. Just maybe, in our service, God will use us "to win one more" for Him...
