Greetings Dear Reader,
An aspect of sea for me is the vastness of it. Planet Ocean seams more appropriate than
Planet Earth. They kicked out Pluto from
the planet club then perhaps we can get a thing going to rename our big blue marble. I was explaining this to my Grandson he
puzzled on it for quite some time. Later
in the day he explained that when he grows up and is a scientist he will figure
how many drops are in the ocean.
It occurred to me that the love and grace of the Father are
like this. The amount that I comprehend
is merely a drop in the ocean of love and grace. There is enough love and grace in the Father
for each of us and beyond. The Father
imparts our ability to show love and grace in the measure that we need and
above. It is supposed to be our stock
and trade.
When we put limitations on the love of the Father we follow
a path that ends in sorrow and loss.
Whether it is through discipline, provision, or guidance the Father dispenses
love to us at every moment. I need to be
part of creating an ocean of love and grace that sweeps us all up in its tidal
change.
Drops
In Ocean – Hawk Nelson
I want you as you are, not as you ought to be
Won't you lay down your guard and come to me
The shame that grips you now is crippling
It breaks my heart to see you suffering
Cause I am for you
I'm not against you
If you wanna know
How far my love can go
Just how deep, just how wide
If you wanna see
How much you mean to me
Look at my hands, look at my side
If you could count the times I'd say you are forgiven
It's more than the drops in the ocean
Don't think you need to settle for a substitute
When I'm the only love that changes you
And I am for you
I'm not against you
I am for you
I'm not against you
If you wanna know
How far my love can go
Just how deep, just how wide
If you wanna see
How much you mean to me
Look at my hands, look at my side
If you could count the times I'd say you are forgiven
It's more than the drops in the ocean
Open your heart
It's time that we start again
Open your heart
It's time that we start again
If you wanna know
How far my love can go
Just how deep, just how wide
If you wanna see
How much you mean to me
Look at my hands, look at my side
If you could count the times I'd say you are forgiven
It's more than the drops in the ocean
The drops in the ocean
I am for you
I'm not against you
I am for you
I'm not against you
Wishing you joy in the journey,

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”

Beautiful words....so happy that you are sharing the time by the water with your family.
ReplyDeleteThat was the hope I always had because I loved having that time by the sea with you.
I have those memories to carry me through everything..
