Healing Rain--Are you afraid?

Tonight, we were listening and watching a worship DVD. The lyrics were on the screen as they had pictures of beautiful nature scenes. Healing Rain by Michael W. Smith was playing, and I feel like God really began ministering to my spirit.

"Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain"

I began to think of that...healing rain, it comes with fire? I'm not afraid...to be washed in Heaven's rain? What makes us afraid? What scares us from receiving that healing touch that God wants to rain down on us? I know that there are areas in my life, that I need the divine touch of the Father to heal up brokenness in my own life...but what is it that I'm afraid of?

"And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain "

Interestingly enough, we all at one point or another have tried to hide our emotions and feelings from others by wearing masks, but God is no fool, he knows...often the masks we wear reveal that very thing we try to keep hidden...isn't that ironic?

I have friends and family with both emotional and physical pain and I know they want to be healed, but for some reason, just as I myself, have this challenge, rather hold on to that pain than to lay it at the cross...interesting....
