cloudy days

Wow! It seems like a while since we've seen some sunshine! We've had much needed rain and I'm so thankful for it but now that it has stopped raining, I think I'd like to see the sun. How about you?

Sometimes life is like that. Sometimes it seems to be an endless string of "cloudy" days. But in the same way that I know that the sun is behind all these real clouds, I know that the Son is behind any strings of seemingly cloudy days in my life.

How do I know the sun is behind the clouds? I've flown on cloudy days and in the plane, I've risen above the clouds and been amazed at how bright and white and beautiful it is looking down on those clouds.

How do I know the Son is behind the cloudy days of life? I've flown to Him in prayer many times and have been amazed at how bright and white and beautiful things are when I look down on them from Heaven's point of view.

Amid the cloudy days of life, I have chosen many times to believe with all my heart His promise that He would never leave me nor forsake me. Concentration on His presence in my life and my cloudy circumstances has brought joy in the place of gloom, peace in the place of turmoil and hope when I was about to give up.

Don't let the cloudy days get to you. Keep your head and your spirit and your prayers up. He is behind every cloud, just waiting to shine on you with the bright light of His love and care. Trust me, He's real. And He really, really cares.

Pray for revival. Please.

And Merry Christmas.

In His Love
Walter
