Wash me and I will be whiter than snow

“Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.” (Psalm 51:7b NIV).

The Passion Translation which I just love says it this way: “Wash me in your love until I am pure in heart”

Thanks for stopping by my blog, coming from Down-under in Aus on the Quiet Side of the Great Lake, and focuses on seeing God through His Creation.

We have a resident Great Egret on the Quiet Side of the Great Lake. He is indeed a stately fellow. Pristine and snow-white!

 

His colouring reminds me of purity. Pure hearts, pure thoughts etc. He is graceful for a large bird, which reminds me that we are “saved by grace”. 

Like a silent sentinel, he is always there. When I look out of my window he is somewhere on the lake going quietly going about his business – fishing for dinner.  Ever faithful. Our God is ever faithful.

EVER FAITHFUL

Even when we were flooded – he was there wading past our fence.

NOTE THE PARTLY SUBMERGED TREES

So precious!  I decided to search my Concordance on the word pure, and it brought up a verse that brought me a lot of comfort, and if you are going through hard times – it will help you too.

LOVE THIS VERSE!

And lastly I couldn’t resist adding this one.

SO GRACEFUL!

Look for God in His Creation and you will find Him!
