Sea Shells

Do you remember when you were a kid? Hopefully you do. Unless your experiencing memory loss. I remember the childlike wonder when I stared out at the vast ocean. Moments like these really put us in our place in the whole sceme of things. We are very small indeed. Even more, do you remember someone telling you that if you stuck a sea shell to your ear you could hear the ocean? We didn't even doubt them one little bit. It was the ocean in there we were filled with wonder.
My revelation is this. God is like the ocean. He is deep, vast and unpredictable. He is deep and wide ocean of love that washes over us. The sea shell is like hearing the roar of the ocean. It is what it takes to hear God, to hear the oceans whispering roar. Me must be filled with the wonder and faith of that moment. The moment when we stuck that sea shell up to our ear and said I really am going to hear the ocean. My revelation of prayer is that we must approach our time with God with childlike wonder and expectation to hear a beautiful sound. The deep, whispering roar of the ocean.
