I love the visual imagery in your writing, especially enjoyed your beautiful poem/prayer...since most of us are visual learners, it's so good to have an analogy like the melting snow to visualize what God is longing to do in our hearts.

I am consistently amazed at how God continually enables you to see such profound truth in commonplace events and situations. You have a real gift...and another gift is to be able to express it here like you do. You are such a blessing and encouragement to me and to so many others.

This is so fitting of the dark places in our lives where we hide those things we think are forgiven, and here they come again not wanting to melt. I love your poem. The photo - makes me shiver from the cold, but I am so glad Jesus can warm those frozen places and renew with in us a right spirit. As always an awesome post.

You're right of course, and great analogy by the way. We harbor the frozen and cold places refusing to let the Light of the world melt it, that ill understood gift of free will again. <br /><br />Our peace depends on Him in us. The frozen places do damage inside us and the Light can't shine. <br /><br />Great post, Sharon. I hear you. Thanks.

And now I know! (Sort of--ha. I don't fully understand the scientific part either.) Your analogy is such a good one. We all have some frozen spots that need thawing out.

I am sure we can all relate and I'm triple sure we all need the Light of the World to melt the frozen places in our souls. I couldn't help but think about the year I moved here from the hot desert. Snow, ice to contend with once again and I immediately found work in Sedona. As I drove into town, I had to be extra careful of the spots that were barren on the main highway because of black ice. It is so deceiving! Spiritually it cross references the deception of this New Age capital of the world to me. I'll be thinking about your post and doing some soul searching!<br /><br />Saleslady371https://www.blogger.com/profile/15962608799409882219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-57004083728061472012015-12-08T10:46:29.084-08:002015-12-08T10:46:29.084-08:00Sharon, what a great post.

It was going along smoothly when I came upon a shady patch in the road. I decided (wisely) to get off the bike and turn around. Smart move. While I stood on solid asphalt, I turned my bike around and got into the shade (a solid sheet of ice). If I had ridden onto it I would have been toast. Yeah, those shady, dark areas are a problem Good point made sharon. Bill (cycleguy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09082407231475058958noreply@blogger.com
