Windshield Message
From A Child
Great
analogy!
One rainy afternoon I
was driving along
one of the main streets of town, taking
those
extra precautions necessary when the roads
are wet and
slick.
Suddenly, my son, Matthew, spoke up
from his
relaxed position in the front seat. "Mom, I'm thinking
of something."
This announcement usually meant he had
been pondering some fact for a while,
and was now ready to expound
all that his
seven-year-old mind had discovered.
I was
eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I
asked.
"The rain," he began, "is like sin, and the
windshield wipers are like God wiping our sins
away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms
I was
able to respond.
"That's really good,
Matthew."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far
would this
little boy take this revelation?
So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain keeps
on coming?
What does that tell you?"
Matthew
didn't hesitate one moment with
his answer "We keep on
sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving
us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my
wipers
on.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward
us,
in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come
to
save that which was lost.
Luke 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to
destroy men's lives, but to save
them.
And they went to another village.
1Timothy 1:15 This
is a
faithful saying, and worthy of
all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came
into the
world to save sinners;
of whom I am chief.
Have a blessed
day!
