I Live In A Rainbow World

I was reminded as I was looking through books to find a suitable craft for the vacation Bible school coming up, and when I came upon one about rainbows
and promises, I knew I had found the right one.

It reminded me that the rainbows only come after there’s been a rain storm, and the beauty of the arch up in the sky is all the more so because the landscape is all wet and forlorn.

It reminded me to think of the storm as a promise, not just gray clouds and rain, and to look for that silver lining as the storm is on the wane.

And just when you think you won’t ever find it, there it is overhead, arching as far as the eye can see, just as the Lord has said.

Suddenly you are lost in the beauty, the colors fill your heart to the brim, and you can’t help but praise the One who would give this gift to the world made by Him.

And it also reminded me of our lives; for before I met you I was in a storm – everything was gray and cloudy and dark, I was lost and searching, trying this thing and that, hoping each one would be the right start.

Only when I met Jesus, did things come together for me, for He transformed my heart from within, wiped away sin and set me free.

Then I met you and suddenly I saw my world full of the colors of the rainbow, and I knew in my heart that He’d given me this gift, a new life and new love to know.

Now I look back and see that the storms in my life were just a prelude of what was to come, and now I live in a rainbow world, and now I know just where it came from.

For only with God can we truly be free, and He can make all our dreams come true, for this was His plan, the one He had for me, when He first brought me to you.
