When I got home I decided to shovel the driveway, which was interesting to say the least. After 40 min I looked around and saw that all my work was pretty much already being covered. But hey! It's the thought that counts. While looking around I thought about how much we sometimes work to have this image of a clean or perfect life. But underneath our hearts can be so bitter, broken, dark, prideful, etc. Sinners.
The falling snow reminded me that even in those darkest moments, God's love is covering us with this beautiful embrace. Kind of like snow. Snow for the most part is fluffy, beautiful, and graceful. This beautiful thing that can make the ugliest scenery the most breathtaking moment. God's love for us and his gift of his son Jesus sent to die on the cross for our sins is kind of like that. We're all ugly. Deep down we really are. But God's love slowly changes us and makes us beautiful. Kind of like that first big snowfall. A slow but sure change into that picture that people want to see. Our lives are like that. They can be like that. I pray mine is like that. I pray God is just making my heart more beautiful to the point that my life is this example of how great and wonderful God's love is.
What about you?
