Send the Rain

had opened, and the God Who loves
the land had sent the rain.
Does He love people less:
There are withered lives. There
are men and women whose Joy is
like the sere grass and whose
strength says. Their souls are
baked and blistered like the sands
of the desert. Their happiness is
dried up. They are sapless Apd
juiceless and listless. They have
lost their zest, and their courage is
gone. s
Is there no hope for them? Surely
the God Who sends the morning
dew to the parched earth can water
a thirsty soul. HIS presence is
like the streams Of living water.
Try Him. He can change the desert
/ to a garden. He can make your
dead joys bud and blossom as the
rose. He can bring back the spring.
you are going to have splendid
crops" someone said to q farmer,
as they gazed out on the ample
acres. Yes, if God will let them
alone" And He did. God let them
alone. There was no rain, and the
crops withered and died.
God will let you alone II you in
sist. But If you want Him, He will
send the rain.

: One afternoon we drove into the
country. The air was heavy and
close. The roads were dusty. The
wind scorched US with its hot
breath. The blistering sun baked
the rocks and parched the grass.
The corn was twisted in the fields.
and the cattle stood listless in the
shade OF the trees. We had come to
withered world.
The next morning we drove back,
but everything had changed. There
was the tang Of life in the air. The
dust was laid. The blades Of corn
were waving q salute as they
rustled In the long rows. The cattle
were eagerly grazing on green
grass which had suddenly come
back to life. The birds were sing
ing from the trees and chasing each
other along the rail lenses. The
sun called to US with the beauty oil
.. the morning, and the parched and
withered world had returned to
spring.
What made the difference? II
