Waves

The best thing about growing up in Southern California was access to the beach. I wasn’t a surfer, primarily because I couldn’t afford a surfboard. At least that was my public reason for not surfing. The real reason was probably that I had no real sense of balance.

Regardless, I loved to go to the beach whenever I could. I loved everything about it including the water, the sand and the sun. The activities were endless with bodysurfing, tackle football, frisbee, and swimming.

As I got older the activity decreased, but I still love the beach. Now I love to go to just sit quietly and watch/listen to the waves. There is something so peaceful about it. Looking out to the vastness of the seas and listening to the rhythm of the waves seems to connect me to God and His creation.

I begin to understand how Big He is to have created and still oversee vast oceans. As I look at ships on the horizon I can picure how small I am in relation to everything else. And yet, God says that He knows me and delights in me. How can this be? My heart can only respond in love and adoration.

Where do you find a connection to God and His creation?
