It is raining! It has been mighty dry around here… we are getting used to burn bans, and watering plants to keep them alive. At our house, Chris is the one who actually waters the plants outside. He does a great job, but when it is as dry as it has been, it is not easy to water enough to prevent the grass from turning brown. Last night, we noticed that although the big flower bed is still looking good and the herb garden is flourishing (both obviously getting enough water), the Ginger Lily planted way over in the corner is wilting. Even trying to get everything watered, it is easy to miss the one way in the corner!
And then this morning … RAIN!!! I stood out under the patio to watch the rain and smell the rain. I couldn’t help but think that all the plants are happy – the birds seem to be out playing in the rain, too! I noticed that all the grass was getting watered at the same time… ALL the grass, front and back, and the Ginger Lily was getting the same amount as the flowers and herbs! All at the same time – what a great watering system!
The bible says the rain falls on the just and the unjust. God’s love rains down on all of us, those close in and those way off in the corner – no one can hide from God and no one is outside of the love of God! What a great loving distributing system!
Here’s how the system works: God sent Jesus to show us God’s love! and now Jesus sent us… to shower God’s love on all people – ALL people! In the Great Commission from Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus states, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
