"His love is like a drop in the ocean..."
This morning I found myself standing outside watching the sun continue its rise over the land and the reflection it brought down upon the water. It was about 7:30, a few minutes earlier than I usually wake up; in the near distant a gray cloud had begun to move out from the land and towards the horizon. As I stood there, leaning against the house, captivated by the beauty of the morning, I began to ask myself questions. "Why," I thought, "With beauty like this just outside my window, do I make it so hard to open up to God?" I closed my eyes. Moments later the wind began to blow, and the gray cloud started back towards the house. Soon rain began to fall and the sun all but dissapeared. I made my way into the house and closed the door to my room; my Bible opened to Ecclesiasties when I picked it up. The rain moved in and the wind blew it up onto the porch and the windows. I continued to read but my thoughts were busy still investigating my soul. A few minutes passed; I took a shower and when I emerged the rain had moved on and the sun was shining brighter than it had yet for the day, something it is still doing outside my window right now. God is bigger than anything I will ever fathom. I'm starting to understand that now, and it gives me drive. It is that that also allows me to feel justified towards writing this down and sharing it with you.
