Today as I was leaving the apartment for the SOAR office, the windows in the door were covered with salt spray from Gustav's knocking over the weekend. I began to ponder how similar the mist effect is in my own life.
When I go through a challenge or trial, the wind blows, trees fall and when the storm is over I tend to look through the misted windows of the experience. I realize today, if I do not clean off the debris from the last experience, seek healing for the pain, forgive and be forgiven then I will always have a distorted view of what is coming.
The biggest lesson learned is that the mist occludes the goodness of God. His goodness in all situations and His love are His fingerprints. Often I am able to reflect that when the trial or challenge has ended positively, but when there is deep disappointment, pain or injury, then the mist becomes thicker.
Just like my windows, the sooner I clean off the mist, the easirer. If not done immediately, then it takes a lot more scrubbing and cleaner to get that Windex Shine :)
Today Lord, let the Holy Spirit be the Windex of my soul, cleaning up the past, present and even putting an no stick cover for the future. You are God, You are Love and You are Good....thank you for the storm and the clean up....love di
