Not only was I excited about hav- ing a snow day from school, but I was captivated by the beauty of na- ture as I gazed out of my window. Everything was covered; nothing was left untouched. This winter wonderland reminds me of God's promise of hope and redemption. Isaiah 1:18 (ESV) says, "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." A HIGH STANDARD Sometimes we think we are pretty good people and don't need to change, especially if we pride- fully compare ourselves to other people. However, our Heavenly Father doesn't want us to measure our righteousness to others, but to examine ourselves based on his laws. If we are humble and truly honest, we would realize that we fail miserably in at least one or more areas. I know without a doubt that if the Holy Judge and Creator of the Universe decided to replay every thought I dwelled on, every word I ever said, all the attitudes of my heart, and everything I ever did, I would be toast and extremely embarrassed. I have missed the mark a million times since I came into this world. Romans 6:23 (NLT) says, "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard." The good news is He has a plan called salva- tion that deals with sin. When we believe and surrender our lives to Jesus Christ, He will lead us by his Holy Spirit and the scriptures. If we humble ourselves before God like King David in the Bible, the Lord will make our lives like a winter wonderland. King David prayed in Psalm 51:7 (GNT), "Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow." PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father God my heart is filled with love and gratitude for your goodness and mercy. Your love is indescribable; I am in awe of your grace and kindness to me. Forgive me for my disobedience and pride- ful ways. Help me to be a vessel of honor that pleases you. Continue to mature me in the things of the Spirit and in your word. In Jesus' name, I pray - Amen." CONNECTING TO GOD God loves you more than you can comprehend. He is waiting with open arms for you to ask for forgiveness and receive Jeus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Your sal- vation is the most costly gift you will ever receive, because Christ took the penalty of sin to keep your soul from eternal damnation if you surrender your life to him. Ro- mans 10:9 (ESV) says, "Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
