Rain

The love that God shows us everyday in the little ways that we often overlooked, amazes me whenever i ponder over it. Last night, my parents came home just in time, before the rain poured. I felt very thankful that God held back the rain...
Sometimes He does, sometimes He doesnt. Just like the storms in our lives. He will never let us handle more than what we can bear. God reminded me of His love again this morning.

"With what shall i come before the Lord
and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall i come before Him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?

Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall i offer my firstborn for my transgressions,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

He has showed you, O Man, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
Micah 6:6-8

Thank you God for this sweet reminder. Like a reminder from an earthly father...that You do not delight in superficial or fleshly gifts. But a close and devoted relationship with You. Thank You Lord, for loving us first. That we may learn to love.
