The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
Spent the past week at the beach.
Can I just live there, please?
Watching the waves is so peaceful.
The sound as waves crash onto the sand.
The smell of salty, fresh air.
The feel of fine sand cushioning your feet.
The notice of life brimming all around.
Mussels coming up after a wave recedes, burrowing down again.
Seashells littering the sand begging to be scooped up.
Seagulls daring to come close, curious for scraps.
Standing on the beach, the waves are mesmerizing.
Almost like clockwork, they keep rolling in.
Over and over. They never end.
It’s just like God’s love, which is never ending.
He continually gives you more and more.
It’s just like God’s peace, which is never ending.
He continually gives you more and more.
It’s just like God’s faithfulness, which is never ending.
He continually gives you more and more.
PIcture God’s gifts to you as unending as the ocean waves.
As abundant as the ocean waves.
As predictable as the ocean waves.
God’s mercies are new every morning. They’ll be here tomorrow, and the next day, and every day for the rest of your life.
You simply need to receive them like waves rolling over your toes.
The ocean waves aren’t going away.
God isn’t going away.
But you must choose to see. To want. To accept what God has for you.
God’s abundant mercies are waiting for you.
They are constantly rolling towards you on the sand. Will you choose to get wet?
