Hebrews 11:6
& without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists & that he REWARDS those who earnestly seek him.

The sand in my toes.
The warm ocean caressing my feet.
My eyes were captivated by the cotton candy sky, airbrushed with pinks, blues, yellows, and whites.
The big ocean was a perfect sea foam green with white caps tossing & splashing playfully.

There's something about the ocean & it's beauty.  
The sound, the smell, the way it makes me feel-the way it soothes & calms me.
It's mighty & powerful with immense strength.  It brings peace.  It brings destruction.

The ocean reminds me of God's love, it reminds me of how majestic He is, how big He is, it reminds me of His beauty, His deep, abounding grace.  It reminds me of the love He has for me even in moments of doubt, which are, sadly, more often than not.  It reminds me of His patience & His grace on my life.

It reminds me that He's in complete control-that I have absolutely no power in this life…nothing.

It reminds me who He is & who I'm not.

I need to just reflect on this truth…I'm assuming you do too.
