As I walk outside this morning the birds are singing even though the sky is grey. I get to work and my coworkers are laughing; don’t they realize the pain around them? The world keeps moving and lives are lived but those who are hurting feel like their hearts have stopped beating. Will the sun shine again? Will the clouds disperse and a rainbow appear? Will I ever stand on top of the mountain instead of in the valley? Will God’s grace prevail?
As the words in the song Drift Away say,
“Day after day I’m more confused
yet I look for the light through the pouring rain.”
We can’t ever stop looking for the light in the storm, for it is the beacon which will guide us home. The sun is always shining even when the sky is filled with clouds. It is in the hard times when we have to reach out and grab God’s grace for it is always there just like the sun.
May God’s grace shine through you and light the path for others who are in the dark.
