I took these pictures while walking on the beach at Jeffrey’s Bay. Someone has taken a lot of time to build such an impressive feature.
Looking at this feature now makes me think about our lives as Christians.
When we first come to know Jesus as our Saviour we often have so many things that need to be sorted out in life. We bring those things to Jesus in prayer and He sets out to work with us on each of them.
But it doesn't stop their does it?
We think that we've given it all over to Him only to find that theirs another coarse that needs to be placed on top of the other!
And so the journey goes.
However, as the picture shows; with each course that we lay, one on top of the other, the feature gets stronger. Our lives get stronger and stronger as we lay our lives daily before the Lord, one course at a time.
One last thing; notice how the feature tapers off towards the top and points towards the heavens?
All those items in our lives that need to be worked through gradually become less and less as we build with Jesus, as we become more like Him.
Don’t let discouragement over the sheer magnitude of issues in life that need Jesus' touch stop you from building; the end product will be worth all the toil.

"A life of Christ-likeness that glorifies its Creator".
