It’s snowing lightly outside my window. It’s been an incredibly mild winter and the current snowfall isn’t expected to accumulate to much. As I reminisce about heavy snowfalls of winters gone by, I can sense the beauty, the calm, and the peace that a fresh blanket of snow brings. A covering over debris.

God’s grace is a blanket that covers me. In Jeremiah 31:34, He promises that He “will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more”. In Romans 6:18, He tells us, “You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness”.

I wear these scriptures, these promises, as a covering of sorts knowing full well that the sinful nature in me, that is hidden beneath the top layer, will be there, but that there is hope in knowing that His grace covers me as white as a blanket of fresh snow.

His grace covers me.

Father,

I praise You for the messages of grace that you planted in my heart several weeks ago when I was struggling to forgive someone whose life had debris scattered all around them. I am thankful that You love me enough to cover me with Your grace – Your full grace, not just a hint of it.

I am grateful for Your promises and the hope that lies within them. As undeserving as I feel at times, I am in awe that You reached down and snuggled me into a blanket that covers me wherever I am. I pray that the sinful nature in me diminishes and the righteousness will shine through as a beacon for those needing a hint of hope and grace.

In Jesus’ name, Amen!
