Enjoying the rain

So I don't know about you but I love the rain. I also love the sunshine and probably would prefer the sun over the rain because I love sunny days. However when it does rain I actually enjoy it. I know that nature needs the rain and it helps things grow. The flowers need it, the grass needs it. The crops need the rain to bloom and to create a harvest.

As believers there are times when it rains in our life. We can call this the storm. It's raining, thundering and all you want to do it hide from it. Trust me I've been there. If you don't have an umbrella its almost impossible to walk outside and not get wet. If you don't have on proper shoes you might even get water inside of them. But what if I told you that just like the rain is meant in nature for things to grow it is also the same for believers. The rain is meant for you to grow. It's meant for you to overcome and get through somethings. Its meant to soil the ground so that the seeds that you have planted can create a harvest.


Rain helps things grow. Sometimes when you are going through it's because God wanted you to come through on the other side. At times God allows things to happen in order to help someone else overcome. That's why testimonies are so huge. There would not be a testimony without a test. God knows what he is doing. He makes everything, not just some things, not just little things but everything work together for our good to those who are called according to his purpose. I know at times the storms can hurt. I know the pain of a spouse cheating or your parents not loving you hurts. But God can take that hurt and mend it. He can give you a new heart if yours is broken. God is in the business of repairing brokenness and making it whole. Don't forsake God because you are walking through a raining season. God is in control. He has it all figured out. Sometimes it's not even about you. He knows that six months down the line there's going to be someone who does not have your strength on how to get through their test and storm. They're going to be looking for someone to help them, seeking someone who's been what they are going through and that person may just be you. I know it does not seem like it now but trust me you will get through the storm. You will grow from the rain. God is not done with you. We would not be able to grow if it was sun all the time. We need the season of rain.

Refuse to stay a victim and become the victor. The enemy would love for you not to grow so that it can hinder you. Don't let him! Choose to be an OVER COMER and enjoy the rain!

The Lord loves you and so do I!
