When Harry and Sue got up the other morning, how surprised they were to find that it had snowed during the night. There was a beautiful mantle of the purest snow over everything.

How pretty and pure the snowflakes are as they float down from the sky!

Question: What is the blackest thing on earth?

Answer: A heart defiled by sin.

Question: What is the purest thing on earth?

Answer: That same heart washed in the blood of Jesus.

King David knew about snow, for once when he had sinned he prayed, “Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Psa. 51:7⁷Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. (Psalm 51:7). Dear young reader, have you ever prayed that prayer?

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” (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).)

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the

mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Rom. 10:10¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10)
