Rain is inevitable

 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. 
Hebrews 6: 7-8

Rain is inevitable.
Something will grow, but what?

I randomly (so I thought) read the above verses about ten years ago and felt as though God was asking me a question. 
"What will grow from this season of rain you have been in?"
I wasn't exactly sure what He wanted, but I was clear it was not bitterness.  I knew He wanted me to look for Him in the pain and hurt I'd felt.  So, I did...

Rain is inevitable.
Are you willing to allow a useful crop to grow or are you content with nurturing thorns and thistles?
