“云若满了雨，就必倾倒在地上。”（传11：3）
这样，我们为什么要惧怕我们环境中的黑云呢？虽然它们暂时遮蔽了太阳，但是太阳并没有熄灭。不久它仍旧会出来的。芸里充满了雨。云越黑，下雨的希望越大。
没有云，我们怎么能有雨呢？我们的患难常将祝福带来给我们。它们是装载恩典的黑车。看啊，黑云不久就要变成细雨了；那时候，每一种植物都会因着所下的雨欢乐。我们的神虽然用灾祸压伤我们，却要用怜悯医治我们。他给我们的情书，总是用黑边信封封来的。他的货车虽然发出辚辚的粗声来，其上所装载的，却是漫溢的恩泽。他的杖开着芳香的花卉和甘甜的果实。所以，我们不要再为黑云烦恼罢，我们应当歌唱，因为五月里的花草，是四月里的黑云带给我们的。
主啊，黑云是你脚前的尘埃！在黑云满布的日子，你和我是隔得多近啊！我多么欢欣！我多么欢欣看见你，信心还看见云变成雨点，四面的山岗都在欢笑。
天上蔚蓝的部分，大于阴云的面积。
If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth. Ecclesiastes 11:3
Why, then, do we dread the clouds which now darken our sky? True, for a while they hide the sun, but the sun is not quenched; he will be out again before long. Meanwhile those black clouds are filled with rain; and the blacker they are, the more likely they will yield plentiful showers.
How can we have rain without clouds? Our troubles have always brought us blessings, and they always will. They are the dark chariots of bright grace. These clouds will empty themselves before long, and every tender herb will be gladder for the shower. Our God may drench us with grief, but He will refresh us with mercy. Our Lord's love-letters often come to us in black-edged envelopes. His wagons rumble, but they are loaded with benefits. His rod blossoms with sweet flowers and nourishing fruits. Let us not worry about the clouds, but sing because May flowers are brought to us through the April clouds and showers.
O Lord, the clouds are the dust of Thy feet! How near Thou art in the cloudy and dark day! Love beholds Thee, and is glad. Faith sees the clouds emptying themselves and making the little hills rejoice on every side.
--C H. Spurgeon
What seems so dark to thy dim sight
May be a shadow, seen aright
Making some brightness doubly bright.
The flash that struck thy tree--no more
To shelter thee--lets heaven's blue floor
Shine where it never shone before.
The cry wrung from thy spirit's pain
May echo on some far-off plain,
And guide a wanderer home again.
"The blue of heaven is larger than the clouds."
