Questions and answers

Why did God create rain? Was it not possible to have water that seeped up from the ground? Was it perhaps because He knew we would enjoy it, the sound, the sight of it? Beneath the pages of the Bible, hidden under layers of theology and volumes of painful study lies a simple truth. God desires us to enjoy what He has made, just like He desires to enjoy our presence with Him. In a way, the rain is a sign, showing that God is not only interested in who I am, what I do, but also in what makes me happy, what calms my spirit in the troubled times. The cat that resides in my home (I don't really think cats are ever owned in their minds, just taken care of) spends all day just enjoying what is in front of her. Oh, that I could let that be a part of me, to absorb the moments of my day that God has placed for me to enjoy. The hug and kisses I get when I return home, the quiet (and sometimes not so quiet) mornings that I don't have to rise early. And of course, the rain.
