It is raining today. A steady, gentle down pour from the sky. No wind, just rain drops. Much like the tears flowing from the eyes of a hurting soul. Many are the tears of humanity; tears, which are stored in heaven ["...put thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book?" Psalms 56:8]. This morning it is as if heaven has opened and has allowed those tears to stream down to the earth.
The rains must come, it is Your cycle for springing forth life to the earth, softening hard ground, allowing flowers to bloom, grasses to thrive, rivers to swell, and birds to drink.
O emotions of mine do not hinder the rain. Let it pour. Don't hold it back, less a hardened soul, heart be formed. For as rains come from heaven to bring forth life, may they come and soften my heart so it will bloom, thrive, swell, and drink of the good things of God.
I know You know and I know You care. Thank you for reminding me of how near You really are when I get to the place of thinking You are far.
Lord, help me to cast my burden upon You today.
