White Grace

I like winter. I have been sad that we have had only about four weeks of it so far this year, the weeks from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Then last weekend we got a good storm it went from rain to snow and dumped about 8 inches in my yard. What was so beautiful was the fact that the snow from this storm stuck to everything. Everything was painted white and bent over from the weight of it all.

What a picture of grace. Our ugliness gets exchanged for the pure righteousness of Jesus, by faith. Have you ever been stuck with the immensity of the grace of God? Has the beauty of the Everlasting One taken your breath away recently? Have you been dumbfounded by the love of Jesus? On some days the tears flow freely and God blows me away again, granting me another view of Him that I had yet to experience. Those are the white days that make the cloudy mess that we call life, bearable.
