14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, Rev 1:14
Jesus,
As we are clothed in you, we bear your image, the image of purity and wisdom. Hair of white symbolizes purity but also the wisdom of age. I pray that as these children become clothed in you, that they will project to the world around them your image of purity, mixed with wisdom. Though pure, you none-the-less mixed with the outcasts and "sinners" so much so that you were accused of being a glutton and a drunk - but, as you said, wisdom will be proved right by her actions. You set the standard that in wisdom, purity can intermingle with those who are not pure so as to reach out to them. I pray that these children will be pure, but that in their purity they do not shy away from the misery, suffering and struggle of humanity. That they do not shy away from those who are suffering the consequences of their sin. Rather, in purity that they reach out the arms of redemption - full of wisdom, and thereby that they be a part of your reclamation of your creation.
Amen
