Is it raining in your life?

Very often people say that rain brings them down, or makes them depressed. Given the circumstances over in Oklahoma and Texas I can see why. But what about another type of rain, the kind we need as Christians. The kind that only God can provide and not just in our time of need, but at times that we don't even know we need it.

Sometimes we need that rain to cleanse us, if you will. We need it to clean our souls. What I speak of is a spiritual rain. Lately I have been very thirsty for God and didn't even recognize it until I read something on Green Street Letters that got me thinking. Spiritually I have been going through a drought. I don't know why or when, but I lost sight of God somewhere and even though I've been acting like everything is fine on the outside - on the inside I've been thirsting for guidance from God.

......I don't mean to talk as if I am the only person who has ever or will ever go through something like this, I am merely relaying something deep within my heart that others may relate to.

I realized that what I have been craving in life isn't a better job, or a finished thesis, or more money in the bank, or anything material or physical.......it's just God time. Everyone needs to have that time where God is the central focus in one's mind, where nothing interferes with HIM!

I confess that I haven't been giving God that time and regardless He has still been there for me.

How fair is that!!!??

It is in these times of spiritual drought where I seem to find God the most. His rain has cleansed my soul. What I pray for myself and everyone is that God will rain on you today and that you will no longer be thirsty.....but that you will begin anew, with new life and vigor for God.

So thank you to God and Mr. B. for helping me see what I have been thirsting for!!

God Bless,
