I was reminded at church today that even though it may be a cloudy, dismal day, the sun is still shining! Just because we can't see the sun doesn't mean that it is not there shining for all its worth above the clouds. In the same way, when we are going through some dark times whether it has been just a short time or has lasted for quite a while, Jesus, the Son, is still there! He hasn't left! He hasn't stopped being who He is . . . The only true Son, the Light of the world.
Also today, our pastor mentioned he felt like God was wanting to flood the place, to fill us up. It came to me that normally when a flood happens it leaves behind damage, debris and mud - nothing good. But when our God floods a place what is left behind is restoration, healing and cleansing. All is made new again! In the same way, we are washed by Christ's BLOOD to be made WHITE as snow. It makes no sense, but it makes perfectly good sense . . . "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. Isaiah 55:8
