The cleansing power of forgiveness

16 Jan

Seattle enjoyed a rare snowstorm yesterday. It was more enjoyable if you could watch it from the warmth of your house rather than drive in it.

Seeing the newly fallen snow put me in mind of Isaiah 1:18,

“Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord: “though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.”

In the same way that snow covers the dirt and makes the world clean, so God’s grace and forgiveness can cover the dirt in our lives and make us pure. But while the snow melts and the dirt returns, God’s grace never fades or fails. Grace really is amazing!
