There is much grace in rain:

God used rain to cleanse the earth pervasive wickedness.

God used rain to guarantee his provision of food for his people should they choose to obey him.

God used rain to signify his acceptance of repentance from sin.

God even gives the grace rain to those who reject him.

In the days to come there will be the inevitable flood, the leaky roof, the washed out road.  It will be easy to forget the yearnings of January for Spring to come and to begin to complain about the current inconvenience of wet.  Remember dear friend, these overcast, grey, liquid days are one more testimony to the fact that God loves you.  Love him back and enjoy the rain of his pleasure.
