God I wonder what the rain is for. Why do you cause the skies to shed it's heavenly tears on this Earth? Are the drops of rain your tears God? Are the drops of rain the anguish that You feel; for our sins and the grief we have caused You? It is so silly of me to try to put You and the Miracle of water falling from the sky into a simple finite box. The rain is one of the mysteries of your Omnipotent power. Who else can cause the rain to fall and the sun to shine at the same time? Who can make it rain on one side of the street and dry on the next? Who else can close up the skies for years on one side of the world and cause endless rain on the other side?
We often cry because the rain has ruined our day or drenched our best clothes. But what of the times when men knew nothing of rain? When men were awed by this awesome occurrence. They only knew the water that laid on the bounty of Mother Earth. They were amazed by the rain and even feared it at time, but unlike them we do not reverence Your awesome power; we try to beat it or we wish it away.
Today as I was able to think about You, I sat in the rain and let it touch me. It cooled my skin and made me feel that I could touch some Holy part of who You are. I know it sounds silly, but I am but a man. Unrighteous and an unholy man, who is unable to appreciate You for who You are; needing more than just Your Word to believe you are REAL at times. So I danced in Your rain and I hid my tears in the midst of them.
I am sad for my people and for the children of this time. We need You to cleanse this world with Your gentle rain and to cleanse the sins of our generation.
Let the Rain Fall.
