grace like rain:

Took on new meaning as we listened to the actual rain drop on the mountainside... the fresh smell, the cool breeze, the soothing rhythm, the natural cleansing; refreshing the land.

Now on to the idea of grace: as it pours it restores, cleanses, refreshes... changes the recipient in inside and out. Allows for new growth. Allows for a FRESH start... a new soul.

I've never actually compared grace and rain until the pitter patter began this afternoon. It's such a beautiful idea: not just coined by Todd Agnew. I believe we were meant to understand grace this way. God places concepts of His love and grace that we are meant to understand only in view of creation. We as created learn from creation. You catch a glimpse of yourself and the Creator in the beautiful things around you...

grace... rain... spiritual... physical... it's all God.
