Alright, it's about 2:30am on a Sunday morning. I'm tired and about to go to sleep but I've been inspired. I was inspired by this little shell that I picked up last month on Manly Beach here in Sydney. It's been sitting on my desk since I brought it home.
As I was sitting here waiting for my iPod to charge, I picked this shell up to look at it more closely. I don't know why but I just started thinking about looking at this same shell again once I'm back at home. I'd probably be thinking... 'Wow, this little shell came all the way from Australia.' But then, that's not that significant because even I will have just come all the way from Australia. And I'm not in awe of myself. So then I thought, 'Well, this shell not only came from a beach in Australia, it's possibly been to certain depths of the ocean that I, of course, will never have access to. Yet I am holding it in my hand right now. It's been on the sea floor no telling how many meters below, and it's now in my possession. Where it's been touched by the earth below, I am touching it now.
So as this blew my mind a few times over, I sequentially made a connection to God my Father. I will never have all the understanding of God's wisdom and glory for as long as I live on this earth as a mere human being. But Jesus? He does have all the understanding of God's wisdom and glory. By myself I don't have access to God. But with Jesus, my savior and prince, I am given freedom to have access to God. Romans 8:9-17 says things like: The same power that conquered the grave lives in me, I am a co-heir with Christ, I share in His glory.
Just as my shell can share with me the unreachable wonders of the ocean, Jesus is my soul connection to my heavenly Father in all His glory.
"I am His and He is mine."
