In your eyes I see the pain, come soak this dry heart with healing rain. . .


The crazy part about life is that we never know what's ahead of us. We live a life in faith or in fear, in anxious anticipation, or in open hearted trust. When we are faced with the unexpected, the unthinkable, and unfortunate, we draw closer or pull away. . . but what we often forget is that there is so much more than what we are actually perceiving.
Life seems so real, it feels so real, the pain is real, the questions are real. But there is a God who is more real, more alive, and all-knowing. . . he is the universe in its entirety. As humans, we are limited to what we can see, and understand. . . but if we look closely we can see with our hearts what most can't.
God sends healing rain to wash away the hurt, the sorrow and the grief. Open your heart and feel that rain. . . dance barefoot in it, basque in the glory of God's grace! Rest in his hands, the hands that molded the earth, shaped the mountains and placed the stars in the night sky. . . lay your head in that hand!

So, lift your hands they can be held by someone greater. . . the great I Am!
