Every time I visit the ocean I always think of one thing...infinity...it looks as if it goes on forever...in all four directions...and then I think of this verse and I am overwhelmed by the grace and mercy shown to us by Our Father...
And then I think of the words to the Casting Crown's song East to West and the last few lines...
cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other
As we enter this season of remembering what Jesus did for us I cannot help but think of all that He did.
His Blood, His Life, for me, for you.

Happy WFW!
I think of the same thing when I see the ocean! So beautiful... Thank you

I love that verse. I wrote a song about it and need to get the copyright for my music website.

Beautiful picture and verse and excellent post! How humbling it is to realize that He died for us and removed our transgressions and remembers them no more. I want to cry out "Unworthy!" but He died to make me worthy. It just brings me into such a state of worship and praise and adoration to Him this morning. Bless you for sharing this! Happy WFW!

I always think of that song when I read this Scripture now. Praise God for removing our transgressions so far in such a precious, precious way. Beautiful post, Scripture and picture. Great illustration of this verse! Happy WFW!

I was just listening to that song today...I love it and the fact that with God, our sins are gone...just gone! Finished! What an amazing reality...hard to fathom, but TRUE! Happy WFW!

That is so funny because I have the exact same thoughts. It kind of gives me a hint of what eternity must be like. To look out and not see the "edge".
Posted by: Deanna | Wednesday, March 04, 2009 at 12:00 AM
That was wonderful! I love the ocean, and I love that verse... putting the two together was simply inspired! Thanks...

Wonderful post. I also love the ocean. It makes me feel at the same time very small and part of a divine, perfectly planned pattern of life.
