It struck a chord within me,
a resonance of truth with the clarity of a 40cwt bell
that I could not deny.
However, the wording is recognised as 'inspirational',
crying out to be superimposed upon a background of a mighty ocean.
I duly obliged,
utilising a lesser-known corner of Devon...
Living in the landlocked Midlands,
I lose sight of the sea,
forget about the endlessness and power of its watery vastness.
I can become totally focused on the mundane and immediate.
As a consequence, the immensity of God becomes blurred and unrecognisable,
lying beyond the limitations of my myopic vision.
I need to be reminded not to be so engrossed in achieving short term goals,
that I exclude the creator of the materials I plan to use.
and the immenseness of his grace.
Dismiss it as trite if you wish,
and continue to worry about your next recruitment campaign.
Meanwhile, something much more important stirs the soul,
and there is
nothing
trite
about
that.
