Rain On Me
By Laurita McKercher
In the silence, I close my eyes and raise my face to God.
I wait with baited breath to hear the Heavenly applaud.
The moments pass in anxiousness as I gaze up to see
The hands of God reach down from heaven and rain his grace on me.
Complete and total healing that I have never felt before
Rolls over me into my being as I let his mercy pour
Into every tiny crack where I have tried to hide
My past rebellious arrogance hidden deep inside.
The choice to be made vulnerable and fall before him now
Is all that keeps my soul from death and opens up somehow
The path to live a joyous life that God wants just for me.
I let his grace rain over me; I let him set me free.
Titus 3: 4-7
“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.”
Challenge Questions:
1. What does mercy mean to you personally?
2. How does God’s mercy make you justified by his grace?
3. As you visualize God reaching down from heaven and pouring his grace upon you what do you feel? What do you know?
4. How will the knowledge of God pouring himself over you in the form of the Holy Spirit affect you this day?

Nice idea to do the blog! I'll have fun using it...especially when on trips and away from my books.
