The waves pounded at her feet. The pleasurable sound of seagulls and children laughing surrounded her. She sifted the sand through her hands. She looked out at the massive sea, rolling and tumbling. Awful thoughts rushed through her head. She wondered about her purpose, love, and who she really was. She was drowning in her thoughts of worthlessness.
Suddenly a scream filled the air, sounds of splashing and struggling shook her out of her day dream.
A child, a little boy, was caught up in the waves, struggling to stay above water.
She looked around. No one was here, no parents?
Immediately she rushed to the water, diving in. Fear took over, she never was a good swimmer. The child kept drifting away…
She tried harder, salt in her eyes, freezing from the shocking cold water.
Suddenly she was next to him. Grabbing his shaking body she swam with all she had towards the shore. Her knees scraped the sand and she knew they were safe.
She looked at the small boy, he was staring at her with calm in his eyes. No fear in his eyes?
“Where are your parents?” She asked shivering.
“Where is your God Sarai?”
His question stunned her.
The boy continued. “My God was with you, He saved us. He still needs you, and you need to fulfill his purpose. Love Sarai, love is who God is. Who are you? Do you know? Do you know that God engraved love into you when He created you? You are literally made from the mind of God. But you have shut Him out. You accepted Him, then you decided you wanted to live your own life. You found no satisfaction. You know what you need to do.
The boy just calmly straightened out his swimsuit and walked slowly away.
She looked after him, not sure what had just happened. She looked back at the ocean, realizing she really could have died, but she didn’t.
She looked back at the boy, but he was gone. No where to be seen on the long shoreline.
Suddenly she smiled, realizing that God indeed did love her.
“I am loved”
So obviously this is not my best, but it was something that was on my mind. I realized that we are a part of God’s mind. Something he came up with, in love. If you are here on this earth, you have a purpose. It just makes sense. There is something God wants you to do.
Anyway, I am not good with stories but hope you enjoyed it.
~~~God bless
