I enjoyed this inspiring HopeMinute. It gave me a sense of peace and understanding in how we must balance all parts of our lives, the good times and the trials. I am amazed at this individuals ability to write about anything and always tie it to our Savior Jesus Christ. I hope you like this as much as I did. :)
"Waves & Surfers
I love to watch surfers. I am totally amazed at how they are able to swim out to sea on their surfboards while fighting the current and the water is crashing down upon them. Once they finally get to where they want to be, they have to wait for that perfect opportunity. When they see a wave, they try to get up out of the water to stand on their board. If they fall, they just get back up and try again. Eventually they are able to get up on the board, and the wave lifts them up while carrying them back to shore.
When you think of your own life, does this sound familiar? Do you feel like there are waves crashing around you and at times it just feels like too much to handle?
Like the surfer, we can swim, fight the current, wait for the opportunity, and when the waves of life come crashing down we can stand up and ride it out. We can’t do it alone, but if we trust God to carry us back to shore safely, He will. He doesn't always take the struggles away quickly, but He promises to lift us up and give us peace no matter how big the struggle is. In John 14:27 it says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
The Lord promises in His word to be with you every step through your journey no matter what you are facing in your life. You are not alone. Turn to Him today and ride the wave of His awesome power while He carries you back to shore safely.
Have a blessed weekend!
