Today, my commute to the office was accompanied by a gentle, refreshing rain. I could see through the streaks of rain running across my windshield how the ground was welcoming the moisture by changing colors – from it’s normal reddish sandy color to a deeper, richer brown. Our land has been so dry for so long – it is a refreshing sight to see God’s blessing falling all around us.
As I have continued to reflect on God’s blessing, I am reminded that God showers blessings on us on a daily basis. But how receptive are we of those blessings? Or are we even aware of how God is at work all around us?
As we open our hearts to receive God’s blessings, we should begin to take on a different appearance. Just as the soil welcomes moisture and is changed, our countenance should become deeper and richer. Our faces should reflect God’s joy. Our words should carry comfort. Our actions should reveal compassion.
God is constantly blessing us.
How receptive will you be today?
