It's March 5 in Memphis and the snow has fallen here at Fleming Central. I love how it covers everything with a pristine white blanket. When the sun came out later today, the light reflected off the snow and bathed everything in glory.
God's grace is like snow! Consider the twin graces of confession and forgiveness. I call them graces because they are both gifts from God. God grants repentance when He opens our eyes to see our sin as He does. This gift, in turn, drives us to acknowledge our sin for what it is to Him and to others.
God's gift of forgiveness is an enabling grace. It equips us to impart to others the same gift we have received from Father. When the graces of confession and forgiveness work together, they can take something dark, cover it in a blanket of pristine white, and bath it in light.
This week, Byron Tyler aired a two-part program at WCRV that shows what happens when grace falls like snow on a marriage turned ugly. It was fulfilling for me to play a role to help Sean and Jenn put their marriage back together. But by the time I got involved, a glorious blanket of grace had already fallen. It was a sight to behold! Want to take a look?
