The Sun Behind the Clouds

Thank you for subscribing-may these words bring a quiet moment of peace and reflection to your day.

Backstory:

Yesterday I looked out my living room window and I saw a really big, white, fluffy cloud. The sky was a bright blue and the sun was shining. It made me think that sometimes clouds can be dark and ominous, bringing a coming storm. Sometimes they can be huge, white and fluffy, glowing in their brilliant beauty. This can be applied to our lives. Some days we may feel like the clouds or the trials in our lives are never-ending. We may feel that the darkness of the clouds and the storms that follow will never brighten and that we may never see the light and hope of the sun again. But, because of Jesus, there is always hope in this life, no matter what we are going through.

The Sun Behind the Clouds

As I sat on my living sofa one day looking out the window, I saw a big, white, fluffy cloud that seemed with hope to glow. It made me think that I have days when there are dark clouds over my head Because of my chronic illness symptoms, some days it’s hard to get out of bed. The darkness in my heart and mind seems to never lift On my hard days when I can feel hope drift. I just have to make it through those darker days, As I plead to my Heavenly Father so that my spirit will raise. I get discouraged because of the things my body doesn’t allow me to do, And then the dark clouds settle in my soul and make me feel blue. But the sun always comes up the next day, Helping my spirit rise with every glowing ray. Yes, I know there will be hard days when my mind and body are at war, But those days just help me appreciate the good ones more. There is always hope because of God’s Beloved Son, Who felt all of my hard days as the Anointed One. So, when my mind and heart seem to be overshadowed by the dark sky, I just need to reach out to my Savior when I feel like I want to cry. He will dry the tears that fall from my eyes, And He will break up the clouds as my spirit starts to rise.

The Takeaway: We all have hard trials in this life that feel like dark clouds hanging over our heads. On our hard days, we may feel like the sun may never rise for us again. But if we feel like this, we just need to look up to the Beloved Son. Jesus knows how we feel and He will be with us. He will dry our tears and carry our sorrows. Because of Him, there is always hope that the dark clouds will go away and that the sun will rise again.
