He Washed Our Sins Away
The Rain-Thomas Kinkaid
Stop at the picture for a second, and watch the Rain... then read on...
One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town,
taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly my daughter,
Aspen, spoke up from her relaxed position in
her seat.
"Dad, I'm thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some fact for a
while, and was now ready to expound all that her six-year-old mind had
discovered.
I was eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield wipers are like God
wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's
really good, Aspen."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take this
revelation?
So I asked...
"Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen
didn't hesitate one moment with her answer: "We keep on sinning,
and God
just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
Isn't it distressing to know that when you forward this message
you will not
send it to many on your address list because you're
not sure what they
believe, or what they will think of you for
sending it to them.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think
of us than
what God thinks of us.
In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.
Hope the water flows when you get the picture
READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you
through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
