I went to school to do some paperwork for my sister’s university. I went to the office, checked someone, and left. Suddenly, as I said hi to the guardwoman, a sudden rain came by. (NOTE: In Puerto Rico, it rains EVERY YEAR. Now that we’re in the hurricane season, it means that the rains come more frequent.)
I put the papers on my shirt and paced along, but I stepped out on an empty cafeteria. There’s a home close, so there were music sheets and magazines and a chair. (Was I tresspassing?) Yet, I called home, saying that it was raining, and I’ll get home later. But, the rain is soothing, as you know. While I waited for the rain to stand, I saw those drips of rain form in the road. When it did, I couldn’t hesitate in running back to my home, close to my school.
What does it mean, you ask? We are so blessed to have water in these parts of the world. We are even blessed to have living water, living peace, living grace. And, also, our lives are like drips of water. They fall out of the clouds, and they hit the ground with great strength and vigor.
Thank God that His living water (John 7:38) is our Spirit that gives us life and holiness. Also, those drops can mean His wisdom falling over to us (Deut. 31:1-3), like rain. Those drops can also mean rains of blessing and fruit (2 Kings 3:16-17). In any way, water is associated with blessings, the Spirit, and life. What will happen if that water didn’t exist?
