I love this weather. Saturday was especially good.
After a beautiful, long bike ride I found myself sitting in nice 3-4ft surf – all alone right at the end of my street. I couldn’t help but think about how good my life is. It was one of those days.
As I sat there, an amazing thought gracefully invaded my mind. “There are people dying all around the world due to hunger, disease and violence. How rare is it that people find the kind of peace I experience regularly and take for granted”.
Why me? It’s the obvious question. Many feel a sense of guilt at this point – not me. I enjoyed a few more waves. Why me though? I can’t help but wrestle with this perspective and let it drive me.
God has given me so much. But is it for my pleasure alone or are my days, my life, to be used to make a difference? He is giving me energy, passion and life as fuel for purpose.
Just a thought…
I experience the same gifts from Him as I walk on the beach.
I ask myself the same question.
But like we sang on Sunday…
“His love is extravagant”
