The sea remains the sea

Throughout my life tragedy after calamity has hit my life, my family, my friends, the church and this past year has been no exception. In fact this past year has been the biggest emotional rollercoaster placed in the Bethany Pease Theme Park.

 However after an amazing morning at Hook Evangelical Church I stumbled across the words of Vincent Van Gogh; "It is true that there is an ebb and flow, but the sea remains the sea"

God is the sea. Although I  have experienced and will still experience many ups and downs in my emotions and often feel great shifts in my inner life, God remains the same. There are days of sadness, days of joy; there are feelings of guilt and feelings of gratitude; there are moments of failure and moments of success; but all of them I embrace with Gods unfailing love.

My biggest temptation, and my biggest failing most recently has been to doubt God's love, I removed myself from the healing radiance of his love and by doing this moved myself into the darkness of despair.

The Lord is the sea of love and goodness, and with him I do not have to fear too much of the storms and the winds of my daily life.

In life there will be ebbs and flow, but the sea remains the sea.
