Bring The Rain
A friend of mine shared this video with me. It is powerful. I didn’t really understand about God’s true provisions and His infinite mercy, until the storms of life took me to the brink of myself. You don’t realize how much Jesus you need, until Jesus is all you have. Storms in our lives must first pass through the loving hands of God. His promises are true.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2
I often pray that God will take away whatever circumstance that is detouring me from who God wants me to be. Little do I realize, that since He has allowed the circumstance, then He will be honored and glorified through the storms that I must endure and will use me to be His hands and feet for others. I don’t know that we will ever understand all of God’s plan for our lives, but He will use every minute of your life, if you will surrender it to Him.
My prayer is expressed today in the chorus of this song.
Bring me joy, bring me peace,
Bring the chance to be free,
Bring me anything that brings You glory.
And I know there’ll be days
When this life brings me pain,
But if that’s what it takes to praise You,
Jesus bring the rain

Hey... I stole your video and posted it on mine. I love you and am so glad we can connect via the internet these days. I miss you and would love to sit down and have a cup of coffee and reflect, share, cry and laugh over all that God has done over these past years. Know that you are always welcome in our home. I love you and look forward to a lifelong friendship with you!
Thanks Connie,
That really means a lot to me. I love you and miss you as well. God has done some amazing things in our lives and we might have missed Him, had He not taken us through the storm. I am just so grateful that He has placed people like you in my life, even at a distance, to encourage me to keep pushing forward to find out where He wants to take me. Looking forward to what He is going to do in all of our lives!
