The Winter Ritual That Brings Me Back to God
Winter in Canada doesn’t ask permission before it arrives. It settles in quietly, almost reverently, as if the season itself remembers the One who spoke creation into being. Before the first snow touches the ground, winter announces itself through a slow dimming of the afternoon sky, a deeper chill in the morning air, and the way the light folds inward earlier each day. I have lived through many winters now, but each year, the first sign of the season still catches me off guard. It feels like the world is exhaling, preparing for a long rest.

Daily Forgiveness and Fellowship With God
When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He didn’t give them a vague suggestion or a loose idea—He gave them a pattern, a divine structure meant to shape the rhythm of their spiritual lives. In the Lord’s Prayer, found in Matthew 6:9–13, Jesus directs His followers to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” This request for daily forgiveness was not intended to make believers question their salvation or wonder if God’s grace had expired overnight. Instead, Jesus was teaching us the importance of maintaining close fellowship with God every single day. Daily forgiveness is not about renewing salvation; it is about keeping our relationship with God pure, open, and unhindered.
