It was my birthday, and on my way to work, I told God how awful I felt about allowing my bad mood to get out of control the day before. But for some reason, even though I had confessed it, I didn't feel as though I really deserved his forgiveness. Then, during my lunch hour, as I went out to enjoy the fresh air and the thick falling snow, I felt God say to me, Just as the snow comes down and makes everything clean, so will I cleanse you. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow. I realized what a great gift he had given me!
