Understanding the brilliance of rainbows

I had an interesting thought about a week ago about the brilliance and beauty of rainbows. To start we have to understand that God gave us the rainbow to show us his peace and grace.

In the Bible it explains that God is so holy that we can't even see His face. He wouldn't even show His face to moses. I liken that to the brightest white light you couldn't even imagine.

A rainbow is the separated colors/ parts of white light. My thought is that God gave us the rainbow to show us Himself. We can't see God in all of His glory but we can see pieces and parts of Him at a time. Like 1 color is His glory, another color His grace, yet another color His sacrifice, etc. Also keeping in mind that the colors are not solid colors like in a children's coloring book, but instead the colors blend together to allow for all of the pieces or characteristics of God to mesh together to form the beautiful holy tapestry that is God.
