An Ocean Of Love
An Ocean of Love
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. . . . When you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people.
God’s love is like a vast ocean. He sends wave after wave of blessings to flow over you. Just as the movement of the ocean is constant, God’s blessings are constant, even when you are not aware of them. Scripture is filled with descriptions of the gifts God promises to those who love him, including his presence, his grace, and his peace. He also sends you his Holy Spirit, who opens your eyes to the blessings that surround you every day.
Bathe Yourself in Love
Care for yourself by choosing one activity to help you resist unnecessary hurry: a slow walk, an unrushed conversation, leaving five minutes earlier than normal for an appointment, or letting go of items on your to-do list. Resist multitasking so that you can be more present with others and yourself.
