Almost everyone who has lived in the Northern hemisphere knows how a snowball becomes bigger if it rolls down a snowy hill or slope. Its a commonly used analogy in many life's situations - 'the snowball effect'. A snowball that begins to roll down becomes bigger and bigger every inch it rolls down. Longer the distance, bigger the snowball!
In life we have two powerful forces that if pursued behaves exactly the same way a snowball behaves. One is Sin and the other is Faith. Both start small. The longer you let it roll in you, the bigger it gets on you. There will be a time when it gets full blown, what you got rolling gets too big that you (the seed) from which it got started, gets you completely covered and it takes you around for the trip of your death or life of which you have very little control until you finally hit something. I hope the thing (death) we hit upon is not one which destroys us but wakes us up in the presence of our God. Faith leads you to that place. Its paramount to watch what kind of a snowball we choose to be.
