I look out of the window again. The rain is trickling down silently, evenly, like the tears that cover my face. Perhaps God is in the water, in the raindrops. I put my hand against the cold pane to be close to Him. To be as close as I can without imposing. Anonymous
About This Quote

This quote is very sad. It begins with a nice image of raindrops on the windowpane, but quickly takes a turn for the worse. As the rain trickles down, it leaves tears on the windowpane. Perhaps God is in those tears, but He is not in the water that causes them.

The tears themselves are not proof of God’s presence—they just show how sad this girl is. And she is even more sad because she feels that she cannot be close to God without imposing herself on Him. She wants to be close to Him, but it seems like she can’t even touch Him.

The girl’s story ends with her wonder at the beautiful nature outside her window, but it seems like she is missing out on all of these beautiful things because of how sad she feels inside.
