Day 22 - Gratitude (7 of 7)

So...I cheated. To be fair, I don't live by any oceans, so I used the photo I took this summer while I was in Uruguay. Whenever I look at the ocean, or rather am in it's presence, I feel very small, yet big. I feel calm, yet empowered. I feel scared, yet reassured. The waves and force of the ocean is so powerful, yet it crawls slowly to reach my feet. How can it be? A force to be reckoned with, yet is so gentle and peaceful. I often found thinking about God this way. The almighty God, powerful and righteous, yet loving and merciful. God has radically changed my life in many ways. Even today, in the mist of all the struggles, sadness, joy or whatever it may be, I still look for God's calming voice. For my joy and His glory.
