Limitless- Snap it

 Limitless...no end in sight.  No end to even imagine.  Whatever you can think of, and even more.  Kind of like standing on a balcony overlooking the ocean.  It stretches out in front of you, blue, waves rippling as they gently reach the shore.  It seems infinite, and to our eye, it is.  Just a few clouds breaking the view to let you know where the ocean ends and the sky begins... except the ocean doesn't really end at the sky, it just looks that way.

 Because sometimes you really can't see that distinction. Sometimes the ocean may be a little murky, and you're not sure what is in the water with you.  You're not sure if you will make it as the waves break over you, knocking you down.  The salt water gets in your nose and it causes you to choke a little.  As you stagger to the shore, you feel beaten and broken.  Unsure of your next step... and maybe when you reach the shore you find it isn't soft sand, but rocky and rough.  You've reached your limit.
 Except you haven't, because with God there is no limit.  He wants to make you limitless, just like the ocean. And when the sun comes out and the Son is within you, that's possible, because His Spirit can do all things.  All things. There are no limits. No limits to His grace. No limits to His love.  No limits to the work He wants to do within you and through you.  More than you can ever imagine.
The sun comes out, and the view is beautiful...and it is you. And Him in you. 

Limitless.  No stopping you now. Get out there and shine.

  1. I love your pix. I really, really do! I'm a beach girl. Love the salty air and the sand between my toes as I gaze out into the ocean watching the beautiful waves hit the shore. I grew up on the coast line in South Africa (Durban) and now that I am here in Germany, I miss that sooo much. Holidays, and my hubby picks a destination with a coastline so I can remember the feeling. God is awesome, His creation is awesome and speaks volumes. Love how you tied the limitless ocean to our limitless life in Him...next time, I'm gazing out at the ocean, I will remember that! Thanks for sharing! Blessings!

  2. Awe those pics are gorgeous and you are so right. It's hard sometimes to believe it but how right you are. With God we can do all things, anything we set our mind to, He will get us through it. What a blessing!! Thank you for this reminder today.
