Call to the rain with your whole heart, and become, at last, like the One you love.
The Arc
Some days you are dry ground waiting for rain. So call out. Rain down, dear cloud, right now. That rain holds your heart up, and the joy it brings stays. Lean on the One completely. Ask with trust: how could You forget me? Your worth comes from belonging, like a bride at home in her own house. Then the prayer is heard. Kindness comes fast, like a sudden shower. And slowly you grow like the One you love. Honor comes, and dignity, and a good way of living. At the centre, the Rahao: call for the rain of grace now, and it brings a joy that stays.
