God came in with the Rain

I was sitting there next to the window, as the rain poured down. My eyes were swimming in tears of guilt and regret. I couldn't stand to look at myself in the mirror. I felt like a piece of used plastic that couldn't be recycled. My heart sank and I turned a dark blue. The palms of my hands began to sweat, as there was a knock at my door. I jumped up and ran for the door, hoping it wasn't my dad, after all I had said. The door slowing creped open as I stood there watching. A bright light flooded into the room. I felt a sense of pain and yet joy as I squinted my eyes to try to make out the odd figure in the distance. I walked out into the light and felt a warm hand embrace me. Then a voice came "I am here. All you have to do is ask and I will forgive." I trembled in fear and closed my eyes. I didn't want to look or feel anything. And then I realized it was God's hand embracing me. I felt better and I was able to smile. I confessed to God my sins and felt as if a load was lifted off me. I was ready to talk and apologize to my dad. God helped me in ways no one else could ever and I knew God was with me no matter what comes my way.
