I Promise
"For no matter how many promises God has made, they are yes;
therefore also through him is our amen to the glory of God through us."
- 2 Corinthians 1:20,
April 22 I don't want to forget you.
A day when I questioned, I questioned, I asked and I asked.
Are your promises real for me?
Are they coming?
Where are you?
As I got ready for work, I saw it was raining, (a sun shower)
I grabbed my navy blue umbrella and headed to the bus stop.
On my way there, without thinking, I suddenly looked up at the sky.
And what I saw, absolutely took my breath away. It stopped me dead in my tracks.
There it was A beautiful bright rainbow!
Against the misty air, and the grey and white back splash of a sky. I was speechless.
I stood there in amazement.
Just an hour ago, I was pondering and asking God. Where are you, are your promises real for me?
Are you real?
Standing there, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper, "I promise".
A sigh of hope and release left my lungs, as I lifted my umbrella even higher above my head to gaze at this wonderment.
I picked up my feet again, continuing my little journey to the bus stop.
I kept looking up, and as I peered into the sky, I noticed that there wasn't just one big bright rainbow. There was a second one.
It was a DOUBLE rainbow!
"I Promise Promise!" I heard him say.
Tears started forming at this point, I was filled with awe and amazement.
Look at what he made for me, a display of his promise!
He hasn't forgotten all those precious promises, he hasn't turned away from me in my questioning, in my doubt.
Yes, this sounds cheesy. Sounds a bit Alice in wonderland meets wizard of Oz. But my life is my own movie, so I'll make it shine for all its worth!
