Most people don’t like rain. They find it inconveniencing.
However, when it rains and rains and rains,
suddenly you see plants sprouting from everywhere. Overnight, you begin to see green…
Sometimes it takes us by surprise; the green, the flowers that seem to appear from nowhere, all of a sudden, we might wonder where all the plants and grasses and green and flowers come from…
This is the result of rain. The effect of rain. The benefit of rain.
When you expose yourself to rain, to be watered, no matter how inconveniencing, no matter how uncomfortable, you will spring forth…You will blosoom. You will grow and you only then can you be able to feed others, be it their sight, their belly, their intellect. You will only be able to bless yourself as well as others after you, yourself, have been blessed.
But first you need to expose yourself to rain.
“…Get wisdom, and in all thy gettings, get understanding”
“… Study to show thyself approved…”
Allow yourself to be taught. Seek knowledge. Let rain come, allow yourself to be watered, allow yourself to get wet. To be thoroughly soaked.
And after you have received, remember to water others.
