Raindrops fell as I awoke this morning. Thanking the Lord for another day, I began to ponder about all this rain again. It has rained 17 days out of the first 24 days of February. When the sun appears, even briefly, we are all excited.
Isn't this how our journey manifests itself? The sun representing the light of Christ is what we seek, yet we fail almost daily. It's one step forward and two steps back; or three.
The important thing is not that we succeed every day or that we are hopeless failures. The point is that if we continue to seek out the Light, we will gradually move forward from the darkness without allowing it to overcome us.
As we all know, the rain is necessary in so many ways. We cannot live without water (the Living Water is another topic that I hope to address later). We also cannot live without the sun (The Light of Christ).
Do not become discouraged when the clouds and rain thwart our spirit. The Son will shine again just as it always does. We just prefer it on this side of the clouds.
