It's Raining Smiles

     Have you ever sat and watched a simple rain shower?  Rain probably brings out the same general reaction in most everyone...gloom.  But, think of it this way.  Rain is an overflow of God's presence to nurture the blessings all around us.

     You probably feel down sometimes when the clouds and challenges of life appear.  We all can experience this.  Yet, although we may feel bad, let's think about one thing- it may make us stronger and help us to grow in the process.

     For example - what if someone hurt your feelings?  If you pray for them and ask God to help and bless them, you are responding in a positive way to something quite negative.

     You are helping yourself to heal, and helping the other person by praying for them and blessing them.  This might seem impossible or illogical.  But, you have to listen to inner faith and not humanity.

     Perhaps you are fearful of something that has you down.  The best way to combat this is to face that fear with a can do attitude of pure joy.  This gives you a sense of confidence and assurance.  You don't need to be fearful of anything with God.

     We may see challenges as hindrances.  But, in essence, what they may be is a stepping stone to a stronger you and a better tomorrow.  Ask God to give you all that you need to be more than conquerors.
