Following His Steps…
to the Mediterranean Sea
I am embarrassed to admit that, like
Eve and all the women before me, I often question God’s goodness and loving
kindness toward me. I am engrossed in
every detail of my life and wonder if He cares about them near as much as I do.
I underestimate my worth to Him and feel insecure when the twists and turns of
life take me by surprise. I am often
tempted to look to others for my identity and forget that God alone holds the
keys to my heart and can meet my need for intimate love in the most personal of
ways!
My time in prayer every day almost always
includes a plea for Him to remind me of His love- so unconditional and
free. He often answers me so personally
and tenderly that I am brought to tears.
Last year, while walking along a
sea wall next to the Mediterranean, the waves crashed over unexpectantly and
swept with them a beautiful piece of sea glass!
I picked it up and hid it in my pocket as a love gift from the
Lord. He knows how much I love the many
treasures I have collected from the ocean in years past, and this one, from my
first day in the Holy Land, seemed especially sweet. But within only moments, He made it clear to
me that I was to give the sea glass to a fellow traveler. I did, albeit a bit reluctantly.
I asked the Lord yesterday, while
walking along the Mediterranean again, if He would remind me of His love
through a simple piece of sea glass from this holy shore again. I had barely stepped onto the sand before I
found a white feather (another story all together!) and then a piece of sea glass…
and another… and another! I would be
foolish to believe this was a matter of chance!
In the smallest of treasures, God pronounces His tender love for me, His
child!
Earlier this year, a precious friend
bought a t shirt for me to wear as a reminder of His love. I even brought it along on this trip! On days like today, I need not wear it as a
reminder, but a proclamation… HE LOVES
ME!
