white as snow

Jesus paid it all
all to Him I owe
My sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

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

Yesterday we got about six to nine inches of snow. This morning i looked out my window and saw the most glorious blanket of pure white snow covering everything. I am now convinced that nothing on earth is more beautiful than snow. It's like a continual reminder of God's redeeming love.

I have often lamented how ugly and depressing the city is. There are few trees and not many cultivated yards. Everything is gray and cement paved.
The snow completely transformed my surroundings. Like a white garment covering the nakedness of the city, the snow has cloaked the landscape in beauty.

Thank You, God, for this magical snow!

  1. This is beautiful!

    I have to say, just in case you haven't heard it, go listen to Jon Foreman's song "White as Snow" off of his album "Winter."

    Then fall in love with it and buy all four of the albums he's put out. They are all that good.

    ps - I actually got to see snow today because I drove through Dallas to get to Oklahoma to visit Taylor and Jon!
