Reassurance

When it rains, it pours...



When you're feeling sad and lonely and it's raining, then you're going to feel sadder and lonelier by the second. It seems that for every drop of rain that falls on the roof of your safety net, it brushes everything away slowly thus creating a disastrous landslide to your own emotional defenses. All the negative feelings you have are just amplified by the rain. It's God confirming your worst fears, and He's definitely crying with you.



When you're feeling happy, and it's raining, well, that's another thing entirely. You feel the cool breeze it brings into your room. You hear the melodious pouring of the rain, how it silently brings life to dry and lonely plants. You see the gorgeous gray backdrop it provides in the whole metropolis and you see people getting close to one another, the sky seemingly sharing with your overflowing happiness.



The thing is, I woke up this morning and I believe in the fact that, in that crucial time in the morning, you choose what you're going to be the whole day, Happy or Sad, Angry or Tolerant, Fearful or Brave. I began to feel the panicky, desperate feeling that I've been pushing at the back of my head for the past months (yes, MONTHS! ever since the wedding spree my friends seems to be having lately) and so I looked out my window and see the rain.



I see gorgeous gray sky, not neglecting any plant, or square inch of land to remain dry for long. I hear steady beating on my window, and birds, resting on my window plant box to take refuge from the pouring rain. And I feel God, blessing me with rain, reminding me that He's still there and He's listening and feeling for me, and He has his reasons for everything. He thinks I needed reminding.



And I smiled and thanked Him for the reassurance.
