For those going through a tough time right now...

Someone very, very dear to me is struggling right now and God reminded me of a song today. I sent it to her, and then thought it might do us all some good to read these words today. For all our struggles, and all our pain, for all our joys and fears the same...God is there.

I cover my heart
Turn from the wind
Button my coat
Here comes the storm again

What can I do but to trust in Him
'Cause I know the deeper my faith runs
The stronger I become
And the thunder, it may shake me
But I always know that...

CHORUS:
After the rain
You can look to the sky again
The clouds will give way
To the light of the sun
After the rain
You know that you've made it through
And you'll finally see the joy from the pain
After the rain

Everyone needs
Everyone hurts
Everyone feels
The weight of the world sometimes

But don't let the wind sweep your heart away
'Cause even the roughest waters cleanse
So when they come again
Let them serve as a reminder
You can always know that...

After the rain You can look to the sky again
The clouds will give way
To the light of the sun
After the rain
You know that you've made it through
And you'll finally see the joy from the pain
After the rain

Can't you see the hand of Jesus
Reaching out for you
You never have to face the storm alone

After the rain
You can look to the sky again
The clouds will give way
To the light of the sun
After the rain
You know that you've made it through
And you'll finally see the joy from the pain
After the rain

After the Rain by Aaron Jeoffrey

If you've never actually heard the song, you should look it up and listen to it!

Thank you for that reminder today, Lord. I praise you, even when times are tough, because you teach me more of who YOU are. Thank you for your love, your peace, and the joy you bring to our hearts when we trust in you. Amen
