Storms happen. In nature and in life. What can we learn from them to make life better? Here’s a true story from my own life.
It was a hot July day, and from my patio door I could see ominous gray clouds gathering. It looked like the end of the world.
Suddenly, the sky released pelting rain. Lightning cracked like gunfire, and thunder rolled and rolled. Hours passed.
Finally, the clouds broke, revealing a luminous blue sky. Bright sunshine sparkled on wet grass like dew diamonds. It was clear again—so clear.
Sometimes life feels like a tumultuous summer storm. It’s dark on the inside, and the sadness doesn’t seem to budge.
But thankfully, storms pass. Just as a strong wind clears away storm clouds, the Holy Spirit blows a fresh and purposeful wind of hope through your soul storm.
After the rain, sunshine; after life’s storms, renewed calm and joy.
