As I was walking into lab and class this morning, an old hymn came to mind seeing the snow. It says, "'Cause Jesus paid it all, All to him I owe, Sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow." While many of us are complaining about the cold and the snow there was this peacefulness to the snow as well.
It was this endless peace that washed over me about how this semester and year will be. Every year people make resolution and they become broken. It has become the running joke of New Years is how long to resolutions last. I have decided that this year there will not be resolutions but commitments to new ways of life with me and the Lord.
This year is going to be packed full of change as I graduate from undergrad and start pharmacy school. I realized that this new perspective comes from this hymn. That every sin I have ever made Jesus paid for. Every sin is a little different just like every snowflake. As each snowflake was falling it reminded of each sin that I was forgiven. So are you.
The past year has been tough but going forward I know that God is still good. I don't know where the Lord is leading in the next year but I know that there is so much good to come.
What do you see when you see snow?
