Receive Times of Refreshing from God

Acts 3:19 says “Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord”. What an amazing Scripture! We learn from this that our sins are like dark clouds which block the rays of the sun from reaching us. There have been occasions when we wanted to go out but we had to change our plans because we saw very dark clouds hovering in the skies. There have been times when we have been in airports ready to take off in a plane but the flight was cancelled because of dark clouds hovering in the horizon. All such hindrances can be a thing of the past when we repent and are converted because God has promised to wipe our sins away so we can sing like Johnny Nash (and later Jimmy Cliff) “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day.”
