Sometimes you wish life were not so daily, and yet, within the days, lies your treasure. The extraordinary moments in your life can occur only amidst the more ordinary ones. Each experience of your day is building to what comes next. You do not always realize when you are reaching a peak in your life.
Like waves, the exterior of your life goes up and down. Unlike you, the ocean does not magnify the event called waves. The ocean understands that the waves are waves of itself, and that it is affected not. Waves build, and waves come down, and the ocean is ocean as before.
The ocean doesn't become bored with the process of itself. The ocean likes the rolling of its waves, as if a hand were drawing a picture of ocean enfolding itself — over and over again.
To the ocean every wave seems new, and the ocean continues to row itself, dipping itself in and out of the water, propelling itself forward, swooping up and then whirling down.
Be like the ocean that heralds each wave and splashes in it.
Or consider yourself like a ship, anchored deep in the center of the sea, capable of being rolled by the innocent waves, yet incapable of leaving where it is anchored.
Let Me be your anchor. The waves of life will buffet over you, but you will not be overcome. I am the anchor, and you can only move along with Me. I anchor you deep into My heart. There is no disturbance here. There is no overwhelming here. There is ease and deep peace and great love. No matter how it is splashed, it is intact, the peace of Our love. Stationed in an ocean of My love, no heart is lost. No heart can stray from where the anchor keeps it firm.
The waves in your life roar and recede. The waves bow away, as a courtier to the King.
Your hand ripples through the waves of life. Huge waves lift you, and huge waves let you down, and you are you. If a wave knocks you to shore, you are intact. If a wave propels you to the highest star, you are intact.
Of course, sometimes you think where you happen to be at any one time is all important. But your surface location is not the importance of you. Deep down you know that. Deep down in the ocean of My heart, you know where you stand and that nothing but that matters.
Deep in the ocean of My heart, you sway to the rhythm of My love. The song you hear disburses any other tune. Extant is the love in Our beating hearts. You know exactly where you are and that the surface of life is just a sail on the ocean of life. You are being blown by the winds while deeply anchored in the sea. What color the sails or the sky, what the height of the waves that buffet you, where you are seemingly pointed, who is with you, and who is not, do not even enter into the equation of this love from the depth of the ocean as it rises to the surface with you at its helm and you at its prow.
Your life is a sail across the ocean of love. There is no departure from this ocean. This ocean is secured within you. I see you now, sailing across the horizon of life with My Name inscribed on the keel of the ship you sail.
