The Color White

Maybe God is trying to tell me something about sin. It has been coming up a lot lately for me.
Today I wore a white skirt to school. And by the end of the day an analogy had presented itself to me. If you have ever worn something that is white you will understand completely what I am talking about. White attracts disasters. You either spill something on yourself, or find the streaks of color that you have no idea where they came from. But white does not hind stains at all. And that made me think about how we are washed white by the blood of Christ but that when we sin those sins must stand out to God like ketchup on a white skirt. Even though we feel like we are doing a great job hiding our sins from others and even from God this is never the case. Yes we could go our whole lives without someone know what we have done but God knows. The whiteness does not hide our sins but makes them stand out until they are dealt with. Then Christ comes in with some Shout and scrubs the stain away. We are made white again until the next disaster comes. And just like disasters are attracted to white, Satan is too. He sees when we are close to God and he does not like it. He tries his hardest to get us dirty, like a child or a sibling who wants nothing more than to throw you in that big mud puddle.
Well that is my analogy of my white skirt. I did not spill ketchup on it today but did find some random streaks of color that I have no clue where they came from.
I hope you are having a wonderful week. And if you are a teacher, just remember the end is near!!!!!
