Rain on my Heart...

It's raining today.

And it's a bit chilly, too.

Not a welcome forecast after our summer~like temps.

It's also May.  

Time for romping in the sun and soaking in the pleasures of Spring.

Not staring off into the dreariness that is our present state.

I look outside...

and I see drip, drop, drip.

I hear...

wait, be still, and know.

Wait for Me as the rain WILL stop.

Be still for the sun WILL shine again.

And know that in this world, as it spins in orbit, I Am in control.

 

I look outside...

and I see my heart.

Thump, thump...thump, thump...thump, thump.

And there too I hear...

wait, be still, and know.

Wait for Me in all things.

Be still in my Presence.

And know that My will is what is best for you.

I Am in control.

Could it be that rain is God's lesson in patience to us?

If it is...

God, rain on my heart.

Give my soul a deep understanding of Your love

so as to bring forth a bounty of fruit.

In my contemplation and prayer...

Dear Jesus,

I'm waiting on You.

I'm standing in the stillness of Your peace.

And I know You hold my heart in your hands. 

You are in control.

I love you.

Amen.
