Have you ever noticed how fast the storm clouds of life gather.  The day can be sunny and bright one moment the next the rain is falling.  We can still see the sun so we don’t worry much about the storm. As the storm grows,  the clouds darken and the sun is totally hidden from view.  You look for shelter only to find yourself being tossed about by the torrents that engulfed you. There are times that the storm seems to have no end. You begin to think the sun will never shine in your life again. You can’t calm the storm so you lift your heart and mind to the one who Created all things to find peace in the midst of the storm. Worry is erased and doubt is replaced with faith to weather the storm, the sun begins to peek from behind the clouds and the rain ceases. It appears the storm is over, as the dark clouds dissipate do you think you over came the storm on your own or  was it because your creator was holding your hand and walking beside you in the RAIN.

Life has away of closing in on us,problems seem to have a domino effect. We pray and wait for answers but silence is our response. We wonder if father is listening,does he understand how much we need his help, and why he is waiting to answer our call. Each new problem heightens our anxiety, we cry out again with more desperation. We start to search ourselves for reasons he has not answered.

Rest assured he has heard our cry. He has said he would never leave or forsake us and if whatever we ask we ask in accordance to his will he would supply. We must be willing to accept his answer,he can see far beyond our expectations and knows what is the best way and when to grant our request. Sometimes it is not the way we expect but it is for our good. WAIT, I say wait stand strong in faith that he will deliver, that he will not abandon you and his deliverance will be complete.

We all have walked in confusion and darkness. We have chosen to follow our own selfish desires, have fallen prey to the provocative lure of the world, and have forgotten the safety net the light of love offers to us. Because the world we live in is engulfed by darkness if we do not choose love we are infected by the darkness and the longer we dwell in darkness the more we are consumed by it. Darkness has a counterfeit love, a counterfeit peace,a counterfeit happiness and a counterfeit success all which are designed to keep you trapped.  Today can be your new beginning, love is always searching for those lost in darkness.  It does not care how deep the penetration or how long you have lingered in the dark waters. It stands ready to throw you a life line, to bring you into the light and to give your new life.    YOU ONLY NEED TO CHOOSE TO BE RESCUED.
