I am rain

We have a plethora (I love that word) of snow right now. Whiteness everywhere.

God is snow. He is pure and white. He comes down in a perfect, whole form. He makes the world beautiful and sparkling with His presence. He covers up the dry and the dead. Then, He makes it possible for life to begin anew in the Spring.

I, on the other hand, am much more like rain. I come down in an incomplete form (less whole and perfect than snow). I am slightly dirty and once on the ground, get dirtier still by mixing with the dust and dirt. However, when I'm warmed by God's love, I can rise up again to meet Him.
