When I stand by the ocean I am struck by the consistent rhythm by which the waves move in and out.  There is a steady flow like the rhythm of our own hearts beating again and again.  God speaks to us through the steadiness of the rhythms of our lives. In those quiet and seemingly unimportant spaces in between the beats or the waves crashing on the sand God whispers “I love you.” More importantly, God speaks to our hearts with each steady beat and says, “I AM.  I AM Here. I AM Here with you.  I AM within you.”  Those words become the steady rhythm of our hearts and when we slow down and get quiet we can begin to hear them and let them sink in.  The steadiness of the reminder of who we are and where we come from is what we need to navigate this world.  With this perspective all is seen through the eyes of courage and love.  There is a reminder and a recognition of the truth from which our lives originated and we can rely upon the steadiness of the reminder when we pause to connect with it.
