Chelsea Rodgers- Rain


God, I wonder at your creation sometimes. How you fill each raindrop with a different destiny, commanding them where to fall and how to purpose themselves. In hurricanes and light spring showers, dreary drizzle and wailing winds that hurl them like stones from a slingshot.
Because outside right now it is cold and there is a canopy of water falling from the sky and when you walk through it, it feels like there could be no amount of layers on your body or coverings over your head to stop you from feeling that chill in your bones.
Funny though, how one experience can be had in so many different ways.
I think back to the way I felt those summer rainstorms, with my arms outstretched and my face towards heaven- feeling every drop on my skin, on my heart, as though I was being drenched in anointing oil. My spirit pressed against my chest, and oh how I longed to hear your voice as tangible as I felt the heaviness of wet clothes on my body.
But then I realize with power, that you speak through the raindrops. They are your messengers, falling to the earth to bring the good news that life will go on.
