I started to write a lengthy post about what this sign meant to me today.
About how the world is dreary
and this day is dreary
and to the naked eye,
and according to the weather forecast –
the sun isn’t coming back out for awhile.
My app glitched and the post deleted,
and to be honest, I didn’t have the energy nor the focus to articulate what’s been on my heart for the second time. It took all I had to get it out the first.
So I will keep it simple.
Like this sign.
Which was why I doubled back around the block to begin with, to take this photo.
He used its beautiful matter-of-fact-ness
to speak to me today,
although believing it takes an act of faith:
Here comes the sun. 🌧 ⛅️ ☀️
(Here comes the Son.) ✝️
It doesn’t matter what it looks like.
It doesn’t matter what anyone says.
It doesn’t matter how many gloomy days the world will see before He arrives.
He’s coming!
He’s on His way!
And that gives us hope.
In the meantime, as little and insignificant as we may sometimes feel in this world, we believers have the big job of bearing His light within us now, and shining it in small ways to bring some hints of light to the dark world around us. 🕯
His Kingdom is here! Now!
And getting brighter!
It will be seen in all its glory- all HIS glory
when He arrives for the grand finale!
The new heaven and new Earth will have no sickness, no death, no sorrow, no selfishness, no wars, no worries, no pain, no heartache. No tears and no fears!
And you know how it’s easier to get through the gloomy days when there’s light at the end of the tunnel?
When you SEE sunshine in the forecast and can look forward to it?
It’s like that with Him too!
We must forecast His arrival with eyes of faith.
We don’t get to know the day or the hour
the Son will arrive.
But we can know He is faithful to fulfill His Word!
We can choose to live each day, expectantly,
reminding oueselves,
exhorting each other with the simple reminder (which helps us keep on keeping on until then!):
The sun is coming! ☀️
The Son is coming! ✝️
