The ocean of emotion

Raging waters beneath the surface force the waves crest to rise and fall...
     .....then ever so gradually disappear.....

               Waters soak into the sand, while others join forces with the next rush of chaotic flow.....
Rise and fall.....then crash and calm.....rise and fall.....then crash and calm.....

                         The distant horizon appears steady~ flat~ but is that a mirage or is it real?

The storm's a'comin' and won't be stilled!  It will rage for a while, its fury of wind will sweep over, dredging up muck from the deep, blowing around in wild fashion.....and then will follow the calm!

     Waters recede.....winds die.....sun shines.....turquoise, cerulean and white again define the Emerald Coast.

Life presents much the same.....raging emotions, rising and falling..... chaos, confusion, frustration, calm.....repeat.....

          Storms of life come and go.....assuredly the cyclical motion remains.....

                   But God.....the One who calms the raging seas with a spoken word.....
He who healed the blind, the lame, the leper, the dead.....
                            The Resurrector of the dead.....
The Perfect One, fully God and completely man.....
                                           the Suffering servant, stooping to the lowest position to wash His disciples feet.....
           the Savior of everyone, everywhere, for all times, who took all the sin of the world to a vicious, brutal murder on a rugged cross so that mankind may have life abundant and free.....

THAT GOD will replace the storm within with grace unmerited, peace unwavering and love unending.....

          The storms may last for a while, but rest in the assurance that clouds will fade, the sun will shine, and joy will come!

Praise be to GOD!
