Snowy Rooftops


On a very recent trip to visit our church in Romania we woke up the second day to a 6 inch layer of snow. My son, myself and a few friends then went to the city of Brasov to ascend the mountain that overlooks the city.
When we got to the top of the mountain and looked out across the city I was impressed with all the white roofs I was seeing. It made me think of this verse,

“Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be white as snow.” (Isaiah 1:18)

Thank God that we have exchanged our guilt for forgiveness and grace.

I think when God looks down at the snowy roofs He too is reminded of the sacrifice of Jesus, and is pleased that he can’t see the sins of His children.

Remember, no matter what, God loves you so much. His love is unfailing and everlasting. Build yourself up in that truth. You are white as a fresh snowfall. Go out and play in the snow of your purity and enjoy the fellowship of His love.

It is awesome to know that God sees only His Son and what He has done. That we are holy and that God sees our sins no more because it has been dealt with on the cross.
As we read and meditate on the Word our minds are being renewed, that we can also see how God sees- "the snowy rooftops" of first and foremost of our life and the lives of others. We are forgiven
