bring on the rain.

one of the first things that I think of when i think spring is the rain. rain brings new life to the flowers, soil, gardens, etc. so that spring can arrive with God's beauty. a lot of times a rainy day can be a bummer. when you think over you life - maybe you have had some "rainy days". have you ever wondered why something happened the way it did?  maybe something you really wanted to happen just didn't happen the way it was planned-- or just didn't happen at all. i have had a lot of those days lately. i found myself frustrated, scared, angry and asking WHY does this happen to me all the time? 
as i took a step back, i realized that maybe God has BIGGER and BETTER things planned for me. maybe it is his will that these "rainy days" happen to make me stronger. just like the rain bring new life and beauty- the strength i learn from these struggles make me a stronger person. 


take a look with me at Psalm 25:5---> "Guide me in your truth and teach me,for you are God my Savior,and my hope is in you all day long."

 

isn't that so true-- if you put your HOPE in HIM, there is peace. 

take another look with me at this song--> (MercyMe, Bring the Rain)

"Bring me joy, bring me PEACE
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings YOU GLORY
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
JESUS, BRING THE RAIN!"
