As I sit here listening to the rain pour down outside, I am reminded of the storms that have just recently swept through my life. I am not only reminded of my own personal storms but I am reminded of the storms that very recently have touched the lives of those around me .
What is rain? Not in a scientific way, but in a figurative way.
Cleansing.
When I think about all the storms that have happened recently and in my past, the rain makes me remember what comes after it. Sunshine...blossoms....newness...healing.
Rain is necessary in every aspect of our lives, scientifically and figuratively. I welcome it with open arms. I want to be renewed with the assurance that God can and does cleanse me of all my faults and loves me no matter what. Through Him we are all made new, after the rain.
"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone, a new life has begun." 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)
