Usually, by mid-day or sometimes during the end of my afternoons, I developed a habit of going for a walk on the track surrounding a lake close to my place. I always stop by the lake, seat down on the grass and stand still for a while. As I gaze at the waters, the grass, and the trees, Stillness takes over my conscious mind, stopping all the chatter that usually goes on. I feel as if I am absorbed by everything around me, and a Presence flows in and outside of my being. Today, a beautiful and warm sunny spring day here in Texas, trees are beautifully turning greener, as I had one of this moments of meditation, I spoke "But, God, I got hurt so so bad because I really loved ... ." Immediately, before I finished my thought, He impressed on me, "Son, I got hurt so so bad because I love you." Instantly, a warm felling penetrated my entire being. I could feel active waves of energy moving through me. It was present in any part of my body where I directed my conscious attention. Warm tears were flowing from my eyes ... I was speechless ...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It took me to the shore and enabled me to delight in His nature that I find there.

It's sad to think how often I haven't entered the water moving towards me. Good stuff. “It was constantly moving towards me, yet it waited for me to enter in.” It’s sad to think how often I haven’t entered the water moving towards me. Good stuff.

I was drawn there rain or shine, warm or cold. The beach is majestic, awesome, powerful, peaceful, glorious...I could go on. There is nothing like it. I can completely relate to you finding God there. I think ALL states should have an ocean. I know that's geographically impossible, but that's how much I love it and miss it! Enjoy the time you have left with your bride. The constant invitation to the ocean is the BIGGEST thing I miss since relocating from Huntington Beach, California.

I totally know what you mean about really "getting" the glory of God while at the ocean. And may I suggest something really fun to do at the beach? Make your own version of the "Footprints" story on the beach. :) Ah, the ocean! I totally know what you mean about really “getting” the glory of God while at the ocean.
