Cloudy Skies

Have you ever had days when enormous clouds obliterate the sun? Everything seems to go wrong. You are in pain that seems to never stop. You have emotional baggage that is sapping you of every ounce of strength you possess. Disappointments cause you pain and anguish. That longed-for dream ends in disappointment. I have. Some times it is so cloudy that it feels more like fog than a cloud. Or the cloud is so huge and filled with rain, it seems it will never go away.
But, even in the clouds there is beauty. Even when the troubles multiply and the body doesn't work without pain, glorious beauty can come out of it.
God will always use the clouds in our life for our good and His glory. Though they may bring anguish and pain, His healing hand will make the scars of body and soul into things of beauty. Reach out to Jesus, let Him have all that misery. His sun shines also. Sunrises and sunsets are made glorious when clouds are present. The gray and forbidding clouds turn white and fluffy and life goes on.
