Can You See the Sun Behind the Clouds?

This morning after working out with Armando, I went and got breakfast, and then I sat to read my bible. I've only read a little bit and will finish later but, this epiphany came to me and I could not pass writing on it.

So...today is very windy and cloudy here in Kennesaw, and it looks like a bleak, pointless day. I was staring out into the sky when it occurred to me that the sun was still shining behind the clouds. Just because I can't see the sun right now doesn't mean it is not there. So do I lose hope and stop believing in the sun?(I hope none of you think that way) No, of course not, the sun is still providing warmth and light to the whole planet but it is blurred by clouds at the moment.

I think this is very important to reflect on during Easter. When we were without a relationship with God this whole life appears shrouded in gray. Society tells us that because everything is gray that the most important thing is the moment. Embrace the moment for all the pleasure it's worth. And they say that there is no sun to warm our hearts to begin with.
And for those of us who have felt the warmth of the sun this is ridiculous, there is no use debating whether or not the sun is there. We have felt it and know it is there. And we can attest to that warmth in our lives. For it may appear that the sun is not shining for you at the time but it is still there and always will be. And that sun is a promise of something more.

So...can you see the sun behind the clouds?
