Whenever I find a rare piece of sea glass at my beloved Outer Banks, I pause and cradle it in my hand. I think of the rough-and-tumble polishing. I think of the years and years of hiddenness that made it shine. I think of the transformative power of life in the hidden place, and, in this, I treasure the transformation of the sea.
Friend, I want you to sense those spiritual treasures in your palm as well. Gifts from God. I want you to search for them, grasp them, and hold on to them. Be changed by them. I want you to believe that because your Beholder sees you, your value to Him is unquestionable.
I want you to relax into the truth that you are "hidden with God in Christ"—nothing can remove you from His hand. From that place of eternal safety and security, you are invited to dance on the shoreline. To delight in being delighted in. To live free 💛
