Wiping Our Sins Away

“O Lord, You are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask Your aid." Psalm 86:5

Debbie, my wife, shared with me the remarkable pictorial devotion below. In turn, I want to share it with you. Hopefully, the pictures will be effective on your computer, but if not, the words alone are meaningful to seeking hearts...

Let us never forget we have an all-powerful, all-loving, risen Lord who is always willing to forgive us...

Blessings Always in All Ways,
Steve

The Rain-Thomas Kinkaid

Stop at the picture for a second, and watch the Rain... then read on...


One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets
of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen,spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat.
"Dad, I'm thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some
fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all
that her six-year-old mind had discovered.
I was eager to hear."
What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield
wipers are like God wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's really good, Aspen."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take
this revelation? So I asked...
"Do you notice how the rainkeeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:
"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.


In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.
