The bible talks alot about rain. In Matt7:24-27, the house on the sand was liken to those who reject Jesus' teachings, while the rock referred to those who build their lives based on Jesus' teachings. When the rain came, guess which house stood unharmed?

We all face challenges and failures in life. It's okay to go through the struggles that you are currently facing. More often than not, the storms of life visits one time too many.
Food for thought: Have you ever thought of your challenges in life as your stepping stones to a better and greater future?

But when it starts to rain heavily in your life, what would you do?
Would you grovel in self pity? Or would you cry? Cry out to God for help?
King David in Psalms laments alot. God is not looking for a brave front: last week, we talked about being brutally honest! We dun have to have it all together to have a relationship with God. We dun need to have our lifes in perfect order, being prim and proper before we can present ourselves to God. God doesnt ignore our cries - that's His promise to us. He is close to those who cry and admit that they're soaking and needing Him.

The storm may be our reality.
But do you realise that as Daddy, He would do anything to get you home? your Heavenly Father knows the way home.
To you, the storm may be your repressed memory.
But do you realise that to God, it's His deepest and most precious memory of life with you because that's when He got to hold on to you so tightly and carry you on?

When everything seems hopeless, and our worlds seem to start crumbling down on us..
But God. saves the day.

May you cry out to your Creator today.
So that He can hold you and tell you how much He loves you.

See you in church! :D
