When I See A Rainbow. . .


This isn't a rainbow, but it does include all of a rainbow's colors. This photo, to which I've obviously added some special effects and textures, reminded me of a Sunday School chorus that was popular in Ontario when Jonathan was very young. It was sung to the theme song from the children's TV show, "The Gentle Giant." The words are:

When I see a rainbow, I know that God is love.
When I see a rainbow, I know that God is love.
Yes, God is love. Yes, God is love.
When I see a rainbow, I know that God is love.

A simple chorus, but it alludes to a significant moment in the book of Genesis, the moment when God gave Noah a rainbow as a symbol of his promise never to devastate the world in another deluge. The next time you see a rainbow, think of the divine promise that lies behind it.

When I see a rainbow, I know that God is love.
