A natural pouring

As the rain pours over the earth, moistening everything in its path, I consider the faithfulness of the Father.
As the heavens break open and the rain comes face to face with earth's atmosphere, everything God has made receives its nutrients. The only place to withdraw from the rain is the stand under shelters made by man.
Stand under a tree and the water's drops leak through. Stand under a cliff's overhang and the wind's strength blows the wetness into your face. God designed the rain to pour upon the earth, just as He designed His faithfulness and steadfast love to pour over us. Why do we try to hide in our castles made by man? Why do we try to retreat from the faithfulness God is pouring out for us?
