Faith like Rain

As rain falls down from heaven to earth
So my souls pours out to You, Oh Lord.

In Seattle, rain is a constant. I'm not saying that it rains all the time, because it actually doesn't. I'm saying that even if there is a drought, it is short lived. For me, there has always been the assurance that the rain will come again. This gift from God is a reminder of His faithfulness
God's gifts of love, grace, peace and so on, are like the rain in that ~
~ We have no control over them
~ Sometimes there is a down pour that is impossible to ignore
~ More often, there is a light rain that we can far to easily take for granted
~ There is the assurance that when it isn't here, it hasn't gone very far.
~ We need it to keep going.

Faith like Rain

As rain falls down from heaven to earth
So my souls pours out to You, Oh Lord.
