Everyday somewhere a plane departs in the rain. The
aircraft pulls away from the gate and takes its place in line for lift
off. Soon the engines spool up, the brakes released the craft quickly
gains speed, the passengers pushed back in their seats by the
acceleration. The nose lifts and the cabin window is obscured in driving
rain, then everything turns white as the plane enters the clouds. A few
seconds pass and it happens, bright sunshine bursts into the cabin,
momentarily blinding in its intensity. The rain, darkness and shadows
replaced with brilliance. In truth the sunshine was always there, it was
merely obscured for a time.
When
we find ourselves in the midst of difficulty, though we may be standing in the shadow of difficulty, the
sunshine of God’s love never ceases, the clouds merely an illusion
created by fear. By raising our consciousness through prayer and
meditation we demonstrate over fear, for in truth, regardless of
conditions on the ground the sun is always shining behind the clouds.
