‘Sand is made from all those little
pebbles and stones and shells being ground down by the sea over a really long
time. Eventually, this will all be sand.’
And with that said, I came to the
limits of my geological knowledge.
Hold on to these verses with me. Let’s
hold tightly to them together.
It’s been a year since God clicked
caps lock as he typed these words into my mind and onto my heart. He underlined
them, highlighted them and then pressed CTRL B.
‘Go out deeper,’ he said. ‘Go
further out into the waters of faith.’
The words of the preacher were a call
to me that night long ago and a restlessness of spirit was stirred up. As I put
my foot forward beyond the shallows, I could feel the tug of the ocean tide.
The vast, immeasurable ocean that is God’s love draws us and I think
restlessness is sometimes a gift of the Spirit.
