Rain

Rain has finally come to clean the dust from the air,
[So does the Lord come to clean the sin and clutter from my heart.]





... bringing life-giving water to the brown earth,
[My parched heart craves Your living water which You promised to all who ask}

... causing the dead grass to turn green and newly planted seeds to sprout, 

[You bring growth and new vision bursting from the seeds You planted in the dry times.]

… refreshing the birds who have endured the drought for too long.

[It feels so good to be clean and filled!]

No more artificial watering.

 [I don't have to keep trying to refresh myself with things that don't really satisfy.]

Cleansing,
restoring,
refreshing,
life-giving.

God's gift of rain is like His Holy Spirit who does the same work in my heart. 

Welcome rain! Welcome Holy Spirit! Thank You, Lord!
