It's Raining? How Ironic

[Image via: here]

You know those days when something happens that's so wonderfully inspired and it makes you think, "I couldn't have even planned this!"? That was my morning.

I was quickly walking from my apartment to work in the midst of the morning downpour, thinking to myself, "Really? It has to be raining right now? I love showing up to work soaking wet." But as I kept walking, my iPod, set to shuffle, started playing "Grace Like Rain." Oh my goodness. It was so cool to suddenly hear

"Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me

Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away."

Sometimes God reveals his truths to us in a literal way, like He did this morning. His grace has been poured out on us abundantly [1 Timothy 1:14] and we are justified freely through Christ's redemption [Romans 3:24].

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see so clearly."

He has redeemed us through his blood; we have the forgiveness of sins and the riches of His grace Ephesians 1:7].

"Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed!"

"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." [2 Corinthian 12:9]

"When we've been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to see Your praise

Than when we first begun."

And you know something? I didn't so much mind getting wet after that.
