Winter can be bleak for many of us. I’m the first to admit it’s not my favorite time of year. But Christina Rossetti’s poem reminds us that even during the coldest and darkest times in our lives, there is hope—hope in a God who promises “Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). If you are in a cold and dark place in your life right now, I pray you find solace and joy in the God who loves you more than you can imagine.
