I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it’s cold outside, I have got the month of may. Don’t get the temptation to think that your mountains are too high for God to reach you. Don’t you know their aint no mountain high enough, aint no valley low enough, there aint no river wide enough to keep God from getting to you. Let us sing about God’s grace and mercy every single day of our lives. My papa wasn’t a rolling stone, but I am so thankful that on that glorious Easter morning papa rolled away the stone from the tomb that Jesus used as a resting place. I praise Him every day that even though He is in Heaven my God has never been a distant lover. He loved me when I was uptight with my inner city blues. Now for once in my life I have the joy that can only come from the love that God has for me.
Good day to you all! I am praying that you are able to see over whatever it is that is blocking your view of what a great life you have. I am praying that whatever that thing is that is separating you from the joy that God has for you be removed. There is no reason for you not to smile today! I know that it may seem like you don’t have a good reason, but when you feel like that whether there is sunshine or rain outside, just remember the times that God has pulled you up when you thought that there was no way out. You are a miracle when you think about it. So think about it more and you will see that you have all the reason in the world to smile.
We look for the sun to brighten our days. When we look for a forecast from the weatherman, we are looking to see when it is going to be sunny outside. Whenever we have a day that is full of rain and clouds we describe those days as being gloomy. Meteorologist look at cloud cover and the type of clouds that have formed and they can tell have much precipitation there is going to be. Sometimes when there are only a few clouds the forecast maybe “partly cloudy”. There may be a chance that the atmospheric pressure may cause the moisture in those clouds to release rain. If the atmosphere is at the right temperature then it may turn to snow. A storm front may come in and there is 100% chance of violent storms. There may be some low lying clouds that cause visibility to be bad, and they call those clouds fog. Sometimes clouds can form in bunches so they may block out the sun making the outlook darker than it really is. Our brightest days are the days that have no clouds. The good thing about a partly cloudy day is that sometimes it can block the heat without keeping you from the sun.
Dear Reader sometimes people can be like clouds in our lives. Sometimes there are people in our lives that cannot take the pressure from the atmosphere and so everything that they have built up in them rains down on you. There are people in our lives who are in such a cold place that everything that comes out is cold and icy. There are people that are so low to the ground that every chance they get they cause your visibility to be low because they have put you in a fog. They like to cause confusion. Now I don’t mind a few clouds in my sky, but I tell you Dear Reader, I prefer my sky to be partly cloudy. Understand that in everyone’s life, some rain will fall, however I don’t want any clouds in my sky that are going to keep me from seeing the sun. I say again, I don’t want any clouds in my sky that are going to keep me from seeing the Son. Yes, there are times when we need a break from the temperature and when you have people in your life that can give you some relief. However, I don’t want people around me that are going to be rain clouds. I don’t won’t people around me who are going to make the weather unpleasant. In this new year I want you to get rid of the thunderstorms that are brought on by other people who seek to take your sunshine away. You may not be able to see the sun every day, but don’t keep people around you that are going to keep you from the Son that shines all day and all night. Your days and your nights will be brighter when you remove those darks clouds and let the Son of God shine in. The joy of the Lord is bestowed up you so take it and live a renewed and purpose filled life.
You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
John Reed
