Jeremiah 14:22
Among the nations’ idols is there any that gives rain? O can the mere heavens send showers? Is it not you alone, O Lord, our God, to whom we look? You alone have done all these things.
God sends the rains on the just and the unjust. Some say, “Unfair!” Our egos don’t like this unconditional love of God! Have you heard that “ego” stands for “Edge God Out”? God is generous beyond our understanding! Jesus says we are to love our enemies. This is a hard saying unless we follow St. Paul’s advice in Romans 12:2: “Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.” God sends the rains on all of us as one body of Christ. Let it rain!
