Finding a way to Nineveh

Hosea 6:3 …His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth. For pluviophiles, this metaphor that compares God to rain is immensely refreshing. The rain not only leaves our surroundings looking pristine, but gives life to vegetation, which in turn sustains our existence. […]
