Day 27 - Rain
It's been raining almost non-stop last few days. Only today was there some respite from this downpour. Just want to share with you all an experience many years ago. I shared this at MAD for God? LTC in 2003. Here it is for all.
In 1999, there was a YM (then ISS) activity called "Love Bomb". It was basically a get wet session. We had to put encouragement notes into water bombs and go around bombing people. I still keep the encouragement cards which I got bombed with.
Most cannot be read due to the water, but there are some in are still legible. But its not the encouragement cards that I want to talk about; its about what Steph Phua said to me after the event that stuck with me to today.
That day, the whole sky was overcast and Steph prayed and told God to only send the rain after the event was over as a sign of His love. It did not rain during the event itself, but when it was over, it rained like never before!!!!
Read Gen 9:8-17
There has been a flood recently, rain fell almost non-stop for 3 days. But the flood waters receeded. God's covenant with Noah still stands today. And it's been fulfilled through Jesus. Love has come to rescue us from destruction.
PS: Steph, I know you read this, you may not remember that you said those things to me. But I remember. Thanks.
