I mean sunshine in a metaphorical sense. Think about it. Let's say sunshine is happiness and positivity, while rain is sadness/dreary-ness and negativity.
I will illustrate a missionary example.
Say we haven't had anyone to teach for a while, and we're having a hard time finding anyone. The "sunshine" isn't just there. I have to look for it.
Rain: We don't have anyone to teach.
Sunshine: Someone out there is waiting to hear the gospel! I have a great companion, the people here are nice, and there's always something funny to laugh about during the day.
Now for an everyday person type of example.
Say you lost your job, or your grades in college aren't that great (or both, I guess). You don't have many friends, and family matters are stressful. Your car keeps having issues, gas prices are rising, you need new clothes...
Alright, imagine one of these or a combination.
Rain: A lot of things in your life are stressful and you don't see the end of the tunnel right now.
Sunshine: There are plenty of jobs out there! Grades can be improved, friends can be made, and family issues don't last forever. Cars can be fixed or replaced, gas can be conserved, and clothes will last a little longer. You got this! And on top of all that, you have the Savior. He is always there for you, and He loves you.
Pray for the peace the Savior offers. I promise He is waiting to embrace you. He's knocking on your door.
