I am sitting here, looking out my window on this very dreary and rainy day. I was really hoping for another beautiful day like yesterday. The sun was shining,
we were outside playing. It was just beautiful. But I realized that all the beautiful things we were
enjoying (plants, flowers, etc.) wouldn’t be here without these rainy days.

This rain gives new life, it refreshes and restores the life already in place. It may not look beautiful in some minds, but it does have it’s own beauty. And imagine what would happen without it!

There are times in our lives when we need spiritual rain. God provides this rain to work within you, to renew you and to strengthen you in every area of your life.

Heavenly Father,
I thank You so much for raining your Word into my life. Thank You that I do not shield myself from all the loving rain you have for me, but that I dance in it, soaking up every last drop. I thank You for renewing, refreshing and strengthening my mind and heart to You moment by moment, day by day. I thank You for providing me with the tools necessary to grow so that I may be a blessing to my family and bless the lives of all You place in our path. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
