From Rain to Hope...

God has been showing me over and over again that He will provide. Every time I ask, He provides. This morning was no exception. As I began my morning workout, I thought “God, it would be so refreshing to be able to walk in the rain this morning!”

I knew there was rain in the forecast for today but I had witnessed the end of the sunrise as I was driving to the gym and there was no rain in sight. As I went through my workout, I kept looking out the window but still no rain. I finished my workout and with one last look out the window, my eyes were met with bright sunshine. I made a brief stop in the locker room to wash the nasty sweaty germs from my hands that people leave behind on the machines and then I headed for the door.

What’s that? Is it really? Seriously? Yep!! Rain drops are falling! Huge, God sized, you can’t miss em rain drops like you've never seen before! :) I savored the moment! I walked v…e…r…y slowly to my car. The rain drops washed over me as I paused to look up. I really did not see any rain clouds that would support the presence of such enormous drops of rain. The only thing I saw was the sun. It was the coolest thing! Even more hope was added to an already overflowing soul!

I got in my car and once I was out of the parking lot, I started looking for the rainbow. I looked over my left shoulder. I looked over my right shoulder. I looked in front of me. I looked in the rear view mirror. I looked all around. Then I realized I probably needed to be looking at the road!! Yikes! But even though I couldn't see the rainbow, I knew it was there. Kinda like, you can’t see God...but you know He’s there.

For me, today, the rain drops symbolized Christ and the rainbow symbolized God.

Christ is the visible image of the
invisible God.
He existed before anything was created
and is supreme over all creation.
Colossians 1:15

But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! John 15:7
