Windshield Message from
a child
One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town,
taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are slick.
Suddenly my daughter, Aspen, spoke up from her relaxed position in her
seat, "Dad, I'm thinking of something." This announcement usually meant
she had been pondering some fact for a while, and was now ready to expound
all that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear. "What
are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain;" she 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, Aspen." Then my curiosity broke in.
How far would this little girl take this revelation? So I asked... "Do you
notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?" Aspen
didn't hesitate one moment with her answer: "We keep on sinning, and God
just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember
this whenever I turn my wipers on.

he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness."
