Do we drag our cloud around with us?
Sometimes we may feel that pesky rain cloud is following us....attached to us ...raining sadness and gloom constantly.
We all have seasons where we feel we don’t catch a glimpse of sun.
But sometimes are we the ones dragging that cloud with us?
Oh, I am not saying we are the cause of all the drearyness raining down...
But somewhere beyond that rain cloud is the Son!
Are we allowing the cloud to completely block Him out? If we look we can see beyond the edges of that darkness to see His brightness?
He is there and the rain cloud will move on and you will be standing in glorious Sonlight!
A couple of things;
π§That rain cloud is going to move...and when it it does it will be raining on someone else..
π Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
π§There will be another one...we need rain as well as sun.
π In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:6-7
π§We can not appreciate goodness without strife.
And it draws us closer to God.
π Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
π§When it comes...even in the rain we can find small amounts of joy...
π Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your produces perseverance. James 1:2-3
So if you have that grey cloud over you right now...and the rain is pouring down....know God has got you...the "Son"shine is right there behind it...even though you just may not feel you can see it...brighter days are coming...π
Go ahead...dance in the rain!!
π He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Matthew 5:45b
