Rain; it sings such a melancholic song.  It can bring sadness and joy all at once- a sweet ambivalence that has pointed me to the cross of Christ. Praying for forgiveness over seemingly innocuous sin; rejoicing in hope.  

Rain; it brings life out of a dusty ground and a renewed hope for the day.  

Thank you, Lord.

“Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be wiped away, 

in order that sounds of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 

and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you.” 

(Acts 3:19,20)
