I love feeling the rain splash across my cheeks, down my arms.  I love the sound of rolling thunder.  The sky is illuminated tonight.  All of this reminds me so much that God is huge and, in comparison, I am so very tiny and minuscule, but He is still mindful of me.

^{Jeremiah: 37}I am angry at the people of Jerusalem, and I will scatter them in foreign countries. But someday I will bring them back here and let them live in safety. ³⁸They will be my people, and I will be their God. ^39-41I will make their thoughts and desires pure. Then they will realize that, for their own good and the good of their children, they must worship only me. They will even be afraid to turn away from me. I will make an agreement with them that will never end, and I won’t ever stop doing good things for them. With all my heart I promise that they will be planted in this land once again. ⁴²Even though I have brought disaster on the people, I will someday do all these good things for them. (CEV)

If you didn’t know, this is the promise that God has made to us, for us.  We are the ones who share in this new covenant, these some days.  I cry just thinking about how undeserving I am.

Today I stood and smelled the rain rolling in.  I was so thankful, and felt so new.
