A cleansing with purpose, beyond my own door. A puddle for jumping becomes a great source of joy. To some, it's a nuisance. To others, a refreshing of sorts. The coolness of its touch and sound of its speech brings an assurance that the world still spins as it should.

The first rain brought a purging to the land. Although His heart was grieved with its falling, He rejoiced in those whose hearts were already pure. For the Creator of Man is not one who longs to destroy, but to create. To give life, rather than take it away.

This is why the rain was sent. To give all who are in need a fresh start. A new beginning. No man can give what the soul truly longs for because the soul was not created for man, but for God.

With each drop that falls, I'm reminded that for me there is a new beginning when I stumble. A moment of joy as my children play in the rain from above. And a serenity of calm assurance from the One by whose hand it descends.
