The ocean.

I sit on the sand in fear of the violent wind and waves. I walk to the water and dip my toe in, I find it isn't as comfortable as I expected. I leap in and start to swim. But I swim in my own strength- following my own pace and direction. Soon the wind and the waves overwhelm me and I cannot swim anymore. I raise my hand and yell- "I surrender all!", as my body begins to sink below the water. I feel a strong hand grab onto mine and pull me up from under the water. As my head lifts out of the water, I see other hands- People I had not been aware of. Struggle I had not seen. And then He speaks- "Child, you are not alone". Do you feel like this? Fearful, worn out, wandering. Surrender to Him, and he will not only rescue you, but open your eyes to others who feel the same as you do. "Child, you are not alone".
