The magnificence of it will take your breath away. But I’m not content with just standing on the shore. Just looking out into the sea. I have to go in. I feel the sand in between my toes, but I want to feel the ocean on my skin. I need to feel the waves crashing into me– to taste the salt water.
So that’s what I did.
I saw a rock in the middle of a crashing wave and I knew I had to stand on it. I ventured into the water and found the rock. I found my balance and climbed onto it. As I was looking at the vast ocean, surrounded by clouds, a giant wave came crashing over me.
It was cold.
So cold.
But that’s not what I felt.
In that moment, I felt the tangible love of Christ. I felt the love He has been SCREAMING at me for the last 2 weeks. I felt engulfed by His love. Daily, He wants to drown me in it. Just like the waves did. But I ignore it. I fill my head and listen to the lies Satan tells me.
I am not beautiful.
I am insignificant.
I am inadequate.
I am nothing.
I know they aren’t true. When the waves started to surround me and the sun started to shine through the clouds, truth began to fill my head. Truth about the one that lives inside me.
I am beautiful because He is beautiful.
I am significant because He is significant.
I am adequate because He is adequate.
I am something because he is EVERYTHING.
I serve a God that goes out of his way to show me how much He loves me. He sends a wave in the perfect time so I can get a physical representation of His love.
His love is like the ocean.
So vast.
So deep.
So wide.
I am sinking in His love. I am drowning. I am overwhelmed.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior.
