Rain Like God

I think rain is kinda like God.  Lately, we have had alot of storms in Tennessee. We were all dirty but, now we are clean(and a little torn up.) I know what your thinking "This guy is crazy! What is he talking about??" We here's what I say! I LOVE GOD!!! I love it when he creates a storm and shows us how awesome (and distructive) he can be. I just think that he has a plan.
 Just think about it God's blood kind of represents the rain. When you pray and ask "God, please forgive my sins." God's blood washes you clean. I really feel close to God when I am standing at the sound board and hearing how magnificent the praise band is. They are singing " I lift my hands to the joy of the lord." I can't  help but, to put my hands up in the air because the power of the lord is in the lord.
 Since, you probably read the title, your probably wondering how rain represents God? Just hear the rain pitter patter pitter pattering on the ground. As it hits the trees it is washing away the trees' pollen to make it clean. If you think about it's kind of saying "I am the lord your God and I am washing away YOUR sins."
 I just find that interesting. God died on the CROSS for YOU! I don't think we appreicitate it enough. I know since I am 11 yrs old about to be 12 I never known how much christ our lord gave up for us. HE died and shed his blood for US, so we could expirence his love he gave to his Disicple and who ever loved him. My pastor always tells me that we never know what he did untill you let your life go for God.
 Ever since I gave my heart to god (which was about 2 months ago, when I started Confirmation) I never stoped thinking about how God FORGIVES and LOVES us even though we may have had the worst life.
 God DIED and FORGIVES. Always remember that.
