I love the snow! The snow changes the landscape. The air is crisp and clean when it snows - and everything sparkles. While out walking one day in the snow the words of a hymn by Wm. G. Fischer began to run through my mind. "Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole; I want thee forever to live in my soul. Break down every idol, cast out every foe; Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." I wondered how anything could be whiter than snow!

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Re 1:5,6

David's prayer in Psalm 51:7 was brought to mind, "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Just then, as I turned towards the morning sun, the witness of the snow became even more brilliant. I felt God speaking the answer into my heart. 1John 1:7 says, "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." When I make Jesus the Lord of my life, He fills me with His light, washes away my sins in His blood, and makes me whiter than snow!
