Description
While walking along the beach after a storm, there were shells, seaweed, twigs and other items, even a children's sand scoop washed up on the sand. I can across these two twigs, that made a cross laying there. They were slightly crooked but I straightened them a bit and took this image. To me, the being tossed about in the ocean and broken up reminded me of what having faith means. When tossed about in the storms of life, we need to have faith in God to bring us through that storm. This scripture, came to me at that time and I pondered what it meant. Even if we cannot see the in the midst of the storm in our lives at times, God does, and if we stay in faith, then He has promised to bring us through because he gave His Son, Jesus, to show us the way and to follow His lead. This scripture, Hebrews 11:1, says clearly to me what faith is. The ocean is a place of connecting with faith for me and others, the beauty and power of it, is encouraging and peaceful, no matter how high the waves.
