| Rain & Sunshine |
| “I do set My bow in the cloud…And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud” (Genesis 9:13-14). |
| Rain — there are no rainbows unless there are falling drops to catch and unravel the sunbeams. It may be that all suffering is worse in its anticipation than in its endurance; but one thing is certain, that the big drops of sorrow have to patter on our souls before we can realize all that God is prepared to be to us. |
| Sunshine — it is only when God comes into our grief that we can see the treasures of love and grace which are stored for us in Him. We never know how great a blessing our sorrow may be until we carry it into the light of the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| King Solomon understood something of this when he declared, “Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better” (Ecclesiastes 7:3). Better to have had sorrow and know the comfort of God, than to never have shed a tear. |
