a revelation

it was a spirit of heaviness that saturday afternoon. outside, the heavy tropical rain was beating down mercilessly on my balcony.

good memories can save your life.

it was not for myself that i was heavy-hearted.

With skillful hands he led them. (Psalm 78:72)

i prayed for God to take away the rain but instead He turned my attention to the bamboo trees in my garden. there they were. swaying in the wind, battered by the rain. and there, from their sides, water gushing out from below their branches, a mysterious botanical waterfall from a height 2 storeys tall.

give me wisdom, God.

it is only in the storm that such a beautiful sight is seen. without the rain, there can be no waterfall, there can be no such beauty.
