Oceans and the horizon beyond

Who knew the journey could be so immense. Or the road so endearing in the glimpses it brings of Christ and the Father along the way.  Would we start upon it if we knew what lay ahead?

Is it worth it, the enduring, to catches revelations of our maturity, revelations of Him and Him in us and at work all around us?  Is it worth it, the journey? Without a doubt.

Every time I glimpse Him in another I gain another image of who He is. Every time I hear Him at work I am awakened to how wide and vast He is and how far He goes to redeem and heal and save.

He beckons. He extends His hand inviting us into the journey of life lived in and with Him. The journey begins when we invite Him in (Rev. 3:20) but it truly continues as we yield to him and cry out to Him asking for Him to truly use us – day in and day out.

Sometimes, its like an ocean which stretches far out into the horizon. Depending upon your level to the wave it can seem to be an unimaginable undertaking.  And yet the joy that arises in the walk is so buoying, so sustaining, so perfectly present that it lifts our hearts up again and again.

Do you see Him? Do you yearn to see Him? Have you asked Him for eyes to see and ears to hear and a heart to understand (Isaiah 6:10)? He answers that prayer. Keep knocking, keep seeking, keep running hard after Him for He promises He will be found by us if we do (Jeremiah 29:13; Matthew 7:7).
