I looked out the window this morning, I saw snow still. I wasn’t expecting to not see snow, I’m not sure what I expected to see. Here in Bend we’ve had snow for at least 2 weeks maybe longer. My family and I have lived here for about 5 years, and this may be the longest we’ve had snow on the ground. My wife and I were commenting last week how much we enjoyed snow and the beauty of a fresh fallen snow.
The thing I noticed this morning when I looked out the window was how the once fresh and pristine snow had gotten dirty. It had gravel, grass, and dirt all mixed in it. It wasn’t pleasant to the eye any more. All the things that were in the snow had been there all the time, they were just covered up by the new fallen snow. When the warm sun came out and started to melt the snow all the dirt and stuff was exposed.
Sin in our lives is like that, we keep covering it up so it can’t be seen, thinking that it will never be exposed. But it can’t stay covered up forever it will be uncovered and found out. Usually when that happens it’s worse than if it had been brought to light as soon as it happened. Sin like the old snow that’s out my window isn’t pretty or nice. But no matter how hard we work to cover it up, it’s still there waiting to be uncovered.
God gave us a rescue plan for our sins when he sent Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he sent his only son, that who so ever believed in him would be saved. Right here you have a choice to keep reading or to stop. If you want help with your life keep reading.
Because Jesus died on the cross for our sins we can just ask God to forgive our sins and he will **. You can say this short prayer and God will forgive you of your sins. I prayed this prayer and it was one of the greatest days of my life. Here’s the prayer that you can pray. “God I know I’m a sinner, Jesus died on the cross to pay for my sins. Please forgive me of my sins, and come into my heart”. I’m available if you have questions just comment and include your e mail and I will reply.
Congratulations on your great decision.

** Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
