I love snow (well for about 24 hours, then I get cabin fever). Snow always reminds me of God's covering for my sin. The world may get dingy, dirty and bleak but a blanket of snow covers it all up. Isaiah wrote that, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;"(1:18 NIV).
The uniqueness of snow also fascinates me. Every flake has a unique pattern which no other one possesses. Snow's uniqueness reminds me of the creativity of God. Each of us has unique qualities but we're all human. God's desire is to use our unique humanness to bring Him glory.
The third thing about snow that astounds me is its power. One flake can do nothing but when they "stick together" they can paralyze an entire city or state. What an individual flake cannot accomplish a group of flakes can (reminds me of the church since we're all kind of flaky in one way or another).
Well, I'm watching the forecast for the next round of "white stuff" In the meantime I guess I'll try to be a little more a little bit more like snow - pure, unique, and a little flaky (but trying to stick with others to do accomplish great things for God).
