Rainy Days

 

    The past couple of days have been rough. No real reason. They've just been rough, and I've been feeling down. But that's the way life is sometimes. One minute your life is full of sunshine and the next the rain is pouring. I don't think it's so awful to have a difficult life. I have come to find solace in the rainy days. Jesus had those too. He walks with me no matter what else is going on. I keep Him as my number one focus and nothing else really matters.
  
  Besides, rainy days really do have their own kind of quiet beauty. Each rain drop is like evidence that you are not alone in your troubles. When a storm has taken over the world, it's like I can sit back, sigh, and think, "See! Everyone does have their dark days!" And then God reminds me that He is always with me. Always holding my hand. Always giving me strength to go on. 
 
  Quite honestly, I've begun to love rainy days more the sunny days. It is the rainy days that teach me to cling to God. It is the rainy days that God uses to build my character. It is the rainy days that have made me who I am today. There is light in the rainy days. It is a different kind of light. But it is a light none the less. It is a light that reminds me no matter how bad it gets, God is still there.
 
  One day, when we're all in Heaven, there will be no more rainy days. We will all be with Jesus. And that comforts me because it can rain for my entire life, but there will be healing in the end. To that promise I owe a great deal. No matter how dark my life gets, hope is still lighting my way. My hope does not depend on what is going on around me but who I trust in. The darkest nights give way to the brightest suns after all. So here I am, trusting God and waiting for that brightest sun.
