One of the benefits of conscious in a coastal administrative division in Africa is that the shoreline is not far away. I have always found the safe of the ocean to have a tranquillizing outcome when I am in a nerve-racking state of affairs. And after this selective week, I needed the quietening effect! I had wondered all period if I was really where on earth God considered necessary to me be and if He could use me present.
While sitting on the beach, I leaned posterior and my extremity hit a stone. I picked it up and saw that it could have been a good skipping limestone with the exception of the edges were not aspherical. They were scraggy and imbricate. It would purloin old age of tides to satiny the edges of this marble. I realized that I was a lot similar that pummel. I have a lot of toothed edges, too.
Leaning wager on on the opposite arm, my extremity hit different beat. The analogy involving the two stunned me. They could have been from the same victim. But this 2d nugget was littler and drum sander - cold for a skipping sandstone. I sensed God's message: Yes, it takes example and work, but I too can be a helpful vessel for Him. I have to be patient as God sends state of affairs into my existence that ironed out my ribbed edges. Perhaps the difficulties of this week were slice of the smoothing practice in my natural life.
I not moving have those rocks. They sit on my bookshelf to stimulate me to act to be ready to be denatured. They service as a substance that "all of us are the tough grind of God's appendage." (Isaiah 64:8)
