Tears From God
I looked up and saw the sky turning dark and heard a great roar from the clouds
And in slow motion rain drops began to fall from the heavens
Now some would say that every time it rains we get to see tears from God’s eyes
And I used to think this was nothing but a fable, story, or lie
But today as it rained for a second everything rested in mid air and my eyes happened upon something so rare
I saw the reflection of every sin I ever committed within the rain, drop by drop, tear by tear,
Every lie, all the cheating, taking advantage of others, the stealing, the disrespect, and disregard for righteousness
In that moment I felt a wave of guilt rush over me and I found myself trying to swim away from the devil
He had me drowning in sin
Drip, drip, rain pouring hard, hard days and hardships but all of the sudden the drips turned into blood, blood mixed with rain but this was the kind that washes away any and all pain
Thus he wiped away every sin, every tear from my life
After every flood the sun comes up with a rainbow at the end and I start to remember
Yes I have sinned, yes I will sin again, no I’m not perfect, but he is
And as the rain goes away
I can see the cross standing atop the hill firm like a palm tree in a hurricane
Thinking to myself God is always here and he doesn’t love us any less because of our sins
So this time I will learn from them because that’s what the Christian walk is about
Living, learning, and sharing his love
Stay positive and feed off his words, the sunshine always breaks through the clouds and evaporates the rain
p.s. now instead of tears of sadness it rains tears of joy…
