Rain on me

You may think why my profile picture is of a person without a head. Well it is true, the picture is of a person, and that person is me. I do have a head, it is just bent backwards.
As me and my sister were taking some pictures on a day with a beautiful sky when it was about to rain, I started feeling drops. Right then and there this verse came to mind:

"Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy, break up
your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he
come and rain righteousness upon you." ~Hosea 10:12

I find this such a beautiful verse. It is a verse full of blessings and promises, but also one full of commandments and things we ought to do when we claim, believe, and trust that we are Christ's and desire to live a Christ-like life.



As it started raining I bent over backwards (huh) and felt the rain drops fall on me. The feeling of rain washing over me made me desire the righteousness of God to rain upon me, and His return, one last time! To live forever, with Him, in glory. What more could we want?!

  1. Love this post and your blog Marieta! Looking forward to reading more and staying in touch :)
    Hosea 10:12 is such a wonderful text full of much promise. It's so wonderful that you have the Word of God hidden in your heart that you are able to think on these texts even when feeling some rain drops fall! What a blessing! And your right, "what more could we want?"
    Love Catherine xo
