Rainbow (3)

According to the bible, a rainbow appears after floods, it's the mark of agreement made between God and Noah and all living beings. 'When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds,I will recall the covenant I have made between me and you and all living beings, so that the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all mortal beings.' (genesis 9:14-15)

It's hard to believe that God is so forgetful, he has to make a mark to remind himself. Actually, is man himself so forgetful? Man has forgotten he is made and loved by God, but believes the lies of snake, forgets everyone is his brother and sister and takes an internecine struggle.

Indeed, rainbow is a mark, not to remind God, but to remind ourselves; not to remind us that we have been falling down, have been lost, but to remind us even fall down, even lose, we can try again, because rainbow appears after rain, because HE still loves.

Yes, we can re-start again. Thus, falling down once will not be a life-long regret, losing once will not become endless perished, 'so that the waters shall never again become a flood'.

'I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one. He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.' (1John 2:1-2)

Rainbow (2)

Want to see the rainbow, not only depends on the rain and sunshine, but also the correct standing position, and the appropriate viewing angle.It doesn't guarantee everybody can see the same on the same sky.

Rainbow doesn't only appear after the rain. If you have been to Niagara Falls, where the water rushes like ten thousand horses galloping ahead, down a thousand miles, rainbow could be seen above. One day strolling after rain, moisture rises slowly from the tar surface of the street, rainbow appears unexpectedly, indistinctly.

Although the Gospel has not recorded, I thought Jesus has seen the rainbow more than me. Several unremarkable Galilee fishers, the tax collector Zacchaeus - scorned by everyone, the immoral Samaritan woman, Jesus see rainbow inside them that other people couldn't. Not only so, he lets them see the rainbow inside themselves. Therefore, the sinned woman became a evangelist, the tax collector acted as a model of repenting, the fishers became disciples that change the world.

What needs to be fear in your life? Feared can't see the rainbow after raining. No matter what position and angle Jesus stands, but he always see the rainbow inside us. Why don't we follow Him, let us also be able to see.

The Heavens Rainbow (1)

Rainbow - which we have seen many times, but every time we see it , there always have excitement that can be informed, and amazing that cannot be described.

We feel excited, because the rainbow will not always be there every time when you want to see; and the chance of raining and sunshine appear simultaneously is few, it will not appear as long as you wish. Sunny days or rainy days, cloudy days or misty days, who can control? It is colorful, appears indistinctly, thousands of miles across the sky, both majestic and magnificent, makes people feel amazing!

In my high school days, my Physics teacher told me that the formation of rainbow is the result of refraction of rains in the sun. However, it is strange that such an interpretation has not diminished my passion. What the science pinpoints is 'how', not 'why'; telling people how the rainbow forms, but not why.

Thus, some people see the rainbow and say that it is only a natural phenomenon, nothing special to them, and then engrossed into their own work and life - the life without rainbow.

Some people see it , with exciting and admiration. What just happened - the heavy rains and strong wind, they won't care. Because the rainbow leads them to look deeper and farther.

And how about you? my friends!
