Gods Works of Art

Today, I experienced something, in my mind, totally unbelievable. I was napping and I could hear thunder in the background. I woke up and I was awake for about 30 minutes and it started to rain and I had this inclination to run into the rain. I know that sounds completely weird, but whatever haha. To go outside in my cute shirt, my maxi skirt, with my hair and make up all done and run in the rain. I stood there with my arms out and my head tilted back embracing every rain drop that landed on my arms and face. I wanted to feel the water. As I was standing there I started to pray. I prayed to be renewed. To be washed clean. For my Lord Jesus Christ to fill me with his love and make me whole. To guide me down the path that he has planned. To remind me that he is enough for me. As I finished my prayer. something clicked as I was standing there soaking wet, with rain continuing to pour over me. My clothes didn't matter. My make up didn't matter. My hair didn't matter. What mattered was that I went outside in the very moment to experience something God so happily created. I took the time to embrace the rain God was the watering the earth with. I was escaping the material items in life to enjoy the beauty of Gods creation. I then prayed again and I asked if God could show that he was there. That he was listening. I opened my eyes and stood there for about 30 seconds and I noticed the sun starting to peak out. I walked down the driveway and I was looking for a rainbow but what I got was a clear view of the sun. Rain clouds surrounded it along with the rain still pouring down on me, but in that moment I knew it was Him. The reflection on the pavement of the sun in the puddle was shinning so bright and I couldn't help but feel happiness. It was a feeling that I had been longing for. To feel Him there with me. To see him there. I went inside and after I just felt refreshed. Like I had been removed from all my wrongs. Like he was there to help me. It was something I'll never forget and if you ever get the chance to experience God. I'm so utterly and completely happy for you. He's amazing in every single way possible. Just because we cannot see him does not mean he's not there. Just close your eyes and talk to him. He's always there to listen. And remember, life isn't about the clothes, cars, hairstyles, houses and material items. All of those things will be left here. Take the time to embrace Gods creations. Be amazed at his works of art.
