Whiter Than Snow

Anyway. I was looking on my neice's facebook and saw this beautiful picture of Aly and Alyssa in the snow in Olympia, WA and I could not help but think of Psalms 51.


Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.

Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.

Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

Surely you desire truth in the inner parts [a] ;
you teach [b] me wisdom in the inmost place.

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

I am so thankful that my Lord Jesus died so that my sins can be made white as snow. I am thankful to my God for the washing. I would be so utterly lost without it.
