Rain

Into every life a little rain must fall... I don't know where this quote comes from, but it's true. Without rain, we die - nothing grows (physically & spiritually). As much as I hate rainy days, i.e. trials and H2O, they are both necessary. The other thing I'm tempted to do is complain about it. Complaining doesn't stop the rain and only ends up frustrating me even more. I've got to work on not complaining about the rain that comes in my life. I do miss the sunny days, but the rain is where I get my sustenance. Rain (trials) make me learn to depend on God even more, which in turn helps me to grow and be green (overcoming/prosperous) in Him.

Our church has been praying for miracles and over the past few months people have been experiencing major trials in their lives. Through tongues and interpretation on Sunday God said that through trials comes faith and through faith comes miracles. Okay, I should know this by now or at least remember it, but instead I've been frustrated by some trials lately. It was a nice wake-up call (aka gentle nudge) that God knows what's happening and He's growing us through all this. We're going to come out gold! In Jesus' name!!!
