I heard a song recently from "Casting Crowns" that
both stirred my heart and swept my emotions away to a
heavenly place I wished I could remain. Its focus was
to praise God in the storm. Something I am not in the
habit of doing but have made the decision to start. It
mentions of how He holds my tears in His hands, like
the ocean engulfs the rain as it descends from the sky
above. What a concept one not easily grasps. I think
how full His hands must be with my tears as the seas
swallow up the rain. How often I have dreaded hearing
the drops, night after night, fall like pebbles from
on high. But now when I think of the rain that usually
depresses me so, I remember my Father's hands. How big
and strong they are in holding my every tear. I can
see how refreshment comes and new growth is
inevitable. So instead of shaking my head in despair,
and hiding until the rain subsides, I can lift my head
up to heaven through the rain, thank God for His
refreshing hand of strength, comfort and love even in
my tears.
