Sea of Grace

This is the day the LORD has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!!!! Psalm 118
Yes!! This is a good day!
I choose to rejoice in it!
My husband and I finally got to take our honeymoon! Our first time in Mexico. We spent almost a week in Cabo San Lucas, and it was perfect!
I remember walking through the resort thinking it was the most beautiful place I'd ever seen, I thought if this is paradise I couldn't imagine what Heaven would be like!
Then we were on the Sea of Cortez, overlooking beautiful rock formations, watching the sea lions flop about, the sky was a blanket of blue shimmering in the sun. I thought to myself, I can't believe you created this all out of nothing God. I was in awe of all the beauty around me. We saw whales and fish jumping. I was overwhelmed by the vastness of it all.
Out of nothing this was created.
With just a word it came to be.
This was the first time I really thought about this. I know the story of Genesis. I believe in creation. But this was the first time I saw it this way.
I thought of the Sea, how deep it was for these mighty whales to swim and I felt in my heart the Lord say to me 'as deep as the sea are your sins are from me'
Iv'e read the verses, heard it in a song, as far as the east is from the west, so are your sins from me.
This was the first time I was on a boat in the sea looking at all God had created for me, for us, simply because He loves us and hear him say 'as deep as the sea are your sins are from me'.
My heart was forever changed that day.
I wasn't looking for Him in that moment , I wasn't asking to be changed in that moment.
But He spoke truth to me in that moment and made me see what I needed to see.
Cabo was the most beautiful place I have been on earth so far, everywhere we went surprised me more and more. I can't even begin to imagine how beautiful heaven will be.
I'm realizing the older I get how fast life really does go by and I'm only 37 as I write this.
Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
I rejoice today, because I left my sorrow in the sea.
These words were spoken to me, but they are meant for all of us. Whatever is weighing you down, toss it into the sea, let it sink away to the depths and be no more! Shed the coat we all have worn , that heavy coat of shame, let it. be washed away in this endless sea of forgiveness.
Dive in to the sea and swim in the vastness of His grace. Because when you do you will feel free.

Micah 7:19


You will again have compassion on us;
    you will tread our sins underfoot
    and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea

Psalm 103:12
as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

May you swim in the Sea of Gods grace today and everyday,
                      Destiny
