windows in the clouds

we've all heard that "clouds have their silver linings" and it's a beautiful sight to behold, for sure. this evening out on a run i could hardly stop looking up at the sky. when i started out there was a massive dark, grey cloud hanging over and hiding the sun. but as the sun began to set and the clouds changed their paces and shapes i looked up and not only could i see pink and gold shining out from behind the edges of the clouds, but there was a huge hole opened up in the middle of the cloud and the sun's rays were spilling through in all directions in bright hues of yellow and gold and white. it was glorious.

i may feel as though the situation i find myself in at present is dull and drear and as though i can't see any light at all from this perspective. waiting to see what is the next step while really not having a clue what His master plan involves for me in this next stage of life. a good time with Him in His Word today allowed me to see a little bit of the end goal and gave me hope and the ability to trust Him for the future i can't see. how i thank Him for sometimes making a window in the clouds so that we can see the Light that He sees all the time.
