We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
On this 30th day of November, I am thankful that I have written a post here at The White Stone for 30 days without a miss! That is more of an accomplishment for me than you know.
Accomplishments are truly worthy of thanks.
Tomorrow December begins. What will December bring? None of us know – we do have hopes and if our HOPE is in JESUS, we can be assured that whatever December brings HE will be with us.
So as we end this month of the Giving of Thanks, let’s move right on into HOPE.
Romans 5:5 New Living Translation 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.source
Snow. I am giving thanks for snow today; not that I see much of it here in L.A.
But all the same, snow.
At this time of year and in certain movies snow is honored and nearly worshipped. It seems to make all things alright. It seems to be the thing that makes the season of Christmas, Christmas in the movies. The final touch, we might say.
If only people would let snow speak to them.
Snow. Made of exquisite individual flakes. I have a link for you and I hope you will read it. The Science of individual snowflakes is cause for awe of GOD our Creator.
Would you please consider this with me? Snowflakes. Individual. Unique. Yet each and every one of them is a six-sided snowflake. No two alike but all with the same makeup. Sound familiar? Humans. No two alike but all with the same makeup.
At the center of each snowflake, as white and bright as they are, is a tiny particular of pollen or dust. The very center of the snowflake is not white at all.
Neither are we at our centers, White. We are dark and desperately need the WHITE (Righteousness) of JESUS CHRIST to make us fresh and new. Shall we say like freshly created, untouched snow, glistening and bright?
O to be that! Untouched by sin. Clean, white as dazzling snow, and bright. We can be; we areIFwe areINCHRIST JESUS.
Isaiah 1:18 King James Version 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.source
2 Corinthians 5:21 Complete Jewish Bible 21 God made this sinless man be a sin offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in God’s righteousness.” source
Snow. I hope going forward when you are privileged to see snow you will remember what you have read here today and that you will be sure you have given that dust particularat the very core of you to JESUS and if not, that the very next time HE offers to make YOU whiter than SNOW that you immediately respond: YES!
