Dear Lord; Good evening Father!
Ah Lord, spring is truly here in all it’s glory; the grass is growing, the trees are sprouting, the flowers are starting to bloom…
And the pollen is everywhere.
Heading out to work and school this morning, we exited the garage and were faced with a lesson in color manipulation; my nice dark blue SUV had turned a fuzzy shade of green. The dusting of yellow pollen was so thick across the skin of the vehicle that it literally looked to be a different color.
Yuck.
The golden film held on all throughout the day, leaving the truck feeling dingy and old.
Driving home from a client’s office this evening, the colorful allergen’s grip on my vehicle was torn away as the skies opened and a cooling spring rain began to fall. The coating was quickly flushed off the surface of the truck, and everything once again seemed bright and clean.
Now, this seems familiar I thought…
Sin does to our souls what pollen did to my truck; it coats, and covers, and dirties and distorts. And like the cleansing rain, Your Grace washes that sin from our beings. We are made fresh and new in Your Love, and able to see Your Path more clearly.
“Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” – Psalm 51:2 (NIV)
Thank You so much for the rain Lord. 🙂
Amen.

I just love this post, so true. Thank you Jesus for the cleansing rain that you pour down on me.
Amen Heidi! No umbrella needed there!
Have a Blessed Day!
Great analogy! I’m so thankful for God’s cleansing rain.
Thank you Lisa! I am as well (and for the kind that washes pollen off my truck. 🙂 )
Have a Blessed Day!
I am always loved water, It does cleanse the things in the air, and I like how it cleanses us as well.
Such a wonderful feeling, isn’t it? 🙂
Have a Blessed Day Desiray!
Praise God for His cleansing rain!
Amen Jenifer!
Have a Blessed Day!
What a beautiful theme Phil. We have a little creek at the bottom of our townhome complex. The water flows and murmurs and chuckles all the time. I think grace is a bit like a mountain stream washing away as you say what does not belong.
Making us new. Love and thanks.
Thank you so much Christopher! I very much enjoy sitting in the Stillness of a wooded stream and watching the water flow effortlessly and peacefully around all it encounters… So powerful, yet so yielding.
Have a Blessed Day my Friend!
Thank You for the God rain! It is all cleansing!
Amen Allison! Bring on the rain! 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
