I'm drawn to bodies of water; for a long time I couldn't understand why I felt such a strong desire to be near them, but I've recently figured it out. God speaks to me through them. Oceans, lakes, rivers...you name it. Nothing else can calm me the way they do. Whether I'm next to them, in them, or on them, I'm instantly refreshed and reminded that God is in control. The back and forth, sweeping motion of the waves is my mind's connection to God's forgiveness and grace. No matter what imperfections may reside on the surface of the water, they will soon be wiped away and made new with the coming waves. God views me the same way. Despite my mistakes and shortcomings, God forgives and forgets, graciously and lovingly wiping my slate clean and giving me another chance. With Him in control of my life, the bad doesn't seem so bad, it's all just swept away.
