"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Ps. 51:7
After a fresh snowfall, my mind went to this verse. Is there anything whiter than snow? And how can I be whiter than snow? I mean, afterall, my heart is capable of a lot of yuck stuff. I am shocked at the thoughts that pop into my mind at times. I am ashamed of the feelings I have when life gets tough. And I wrestle with grace....God loves me in spite of my mistakes....He cares about my heart, my desires....I will never be worthy of His love, but it's there for me just the same.
Yes, red blood can produce pure white. And so, for today, I rest in His ability to wash me whiter than snow. Because of His ultimate sacrifice, I am clean. And He delights in me. He doesn't see smudges of gray when He looks at me. He already forgot yesterday's sins.
I am filled with gratitude for my Saviour.
i often think of this very verse.. i have reason to ALOT around here! ;) but especially after a fresh snow fall. no matter how many times i've seen one, i'm always taken back by it's CLEANNESS. and to think, that's what HE does for ME! covers me. nothing else seen. expect that pure. ultra white. bright. clean blanket of His grace and mercy~
