SNOW: by Keith Wheeler

A snowfall is so beautiful! So calming. So still. The world slows down and things become quiet. Not only is snow beautiful, peaceful, and quiet, it’s cleansing. It covers the blemishes and scars on the ground, making everything new. The Bible reminds us that even though our sins are like scarlet, at the cross they shall be made white as snow. 

Another awesome thing about snow is that it makes the landscape a special wonderland. If we allow it, it can bring out the child in us. What a great reminder of Jesus’ invitation. He, not only invites us to become like children, He tells us that we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven UNLESS we become like a child. Please note – Jesus does NOT tell us to become childISH. No tantrums and fits. He gives us an invitation to become childLIKE. Pure. Trusting. Unblemished by the cares of this world. And fearless as we look into the eyes of our Father. 

The exhilaration of snow wakes us up! It’s fresh. It’s new. It covers and it cleanses. Just as the prophet Isaiah said, “…though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow.’ Let’s come back to the cross of Christ. Like snow, may His precious blood cover our lives and wash and make us new again. Let’s return to Jesus. Let’s look into His beautiful eyes and be changed into His image.”

Last month Father God said to Keith “Well done you faithful servant.  Welcome home!”
