“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD.”Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” (Isaiah 1:18, NIV)
When snow was announced to fall on the first days of December, I was ecstatic! I have never, ever seen snow! I’ve gotten used to the cold temperatures a bit, but… snow!? (I can tell you the date, but it’s not relevant at this time.) “Snow” was but a mere dream back in Puerto Rico, only when the mayor of San Juan (the capital of the island) went and picked up snow for the children. Such nice act, but I knew I was going to see snow, real snow!
I prayed about this the day before with all my faith. The next day, I went to the computer as usual, and I checked weather websites for some info, but I prayed again. I kept on my normal fashion, until my parents and my uncle notice snow. When I came to the apartment window to get a glimpse, I saw small flakes of snow falling down the ground. With this, I knew that He loved me, as such on my second “snow-prayer”.
If God promised the Israelites, as sinful and ravaging that He will blanket them with grace –if they repented, of course-, why can’t He do the same thing to us? Whereas I may be inconsistent on this, white still has a big predominance, so pure and crystalline. As much that God has given me to live (and what I can’t handle!), snow should be the first reminder when things go wrong.
I got a cold after that, silly of mine, but I must’ve got something etched out…
