So yesterday I was taking a walk along the lakeshore, listening to the sound of the waves as they lapped against the shore. It was so peaceful, and I stopped and sat on some steps so I could just listen and ponder. I was thinking about life, and how so often I try to figure it all out, and I worry and wonder what God wants me to do...I mean sometimes life seems so unclear, we have so many questions, there are so many options, and we really wonder how we're ever going to do it all. I get overwhelmed when I think too much about the future and try to figure out answers to my questions when I don't think God is answering fast enough. Looking out across the lake and listening to the waves brought a peace to my troubled heart. I was thinking, "God, why is it that we get so entangled with worrying and trying to figure out our future and completely miss life in the moment?" I mean sometimes I think about all the wonderful things I hope to do, and how I'm going to find God in it all, and I completely forget about God in the here and now, how He wants to reveal Himself to me at this present moment. God is everywhere. You can see Him in the daily rising and setting of the sun, in the breeze as it whispers through the trees, the rise and fall of the waves, each tiny snowflake that falls...I could go on and on... But do I take the time each day to breathe it all in and thank Him for it? Do I see Him in my every day life, or do I miss Him in the moment? I know I want with all my heart for Him to be in every moment of my life, to be able to see Him and know without a shadow of a doubt that He is there. I love Him. He is my Saviour. My Daddy. The One who gave Himself for me. He loves every one of us. He loves YOU! He wants us to know He is right there beside us through every step of the journey, and that He cares about each tiny detail of our lives. He cares enough to speak to us through His creation. But most of all, He speaks to us with His spirit. He gave the ultimate sacrifice in order to have relationship with us!
