Dancing In the Rain

We sing songs in church about how great God is and his love being unconditional. But sometimes even I wonder if he really is there. How is it possible to be there yet not be seen by the entire world? Then again, I see a rainbow, even if it is there, it may not always be seen by everyone. If you are in your house when the sun is out, it’s still there and you know that because someone told you. We were told that there is really a God who really does love us. He loves the sinners, the tax collectors, the imperfect, everyone. He sacrificed his own son as a way to show us he is always there. He wants us to have a life in heaven, for all those who never stopped believing even when it was hard to see him. His son didn't deserve to die just like how we don't deserve to live without the sin. That is the great thing about the Lord's mercy, it rains down on those who aren't prepared. Whether we have our raincoat on or not, we were given the blessing of renewal. So let us dance in the rain. Dance because, sure our lives are as crazy as ever, but we are not alone. We can see his footprints right next to us, rejoicing because the lost sheep was found and brought back. Showering us with gifts, even though until his death we denied we knew him. Even when we were the one on the cross next to Jesus, common criminals, but he called us his own. God did not call us because we were rich, qualified, famous, he called us because he loves us even if we are unqualified to be called his children. Amazing grace, so sweet, I was a lost sheep, but then you found me, and now I have been redeemed!
