Clearing Away the Snow

THESE dear children are clearing away the snow for their mother, and making a pathway for her when she will go out on her errands. The snow has been falling everywhere, carpeting the ground in spotless white, resting on the boughs of leafless trees, and glittering in the moonlight.
Dear children, tell me, What is whiter than snow? You know, if we put a white garment on the newly fallen snow, it will look grey and dingy, and we feel almost ashamed to call it white, by the side of the pure white snow.
What must sin be in the sight of a holy and righteous God? He says,
“All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Rom. 3:2323For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23).
“We are all as an unclean thing, and our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.” Isa. 64:66But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6). So how can we be cleansed, and be made fit for the presence of such a holy God? Listen to what He also says to us,
“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.” Isa. 1:1818Come 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. (Isaiah 1:18).
Then turn, dear ones, to the Lord, own your sins, and in simple faith, accept Him who shed His precious blood to wash away all your crimson stains that sin has made upon your soul.
