God's take on broken seashells

by Marty Mullins Shuff on Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 8:40am



While combing the beach for seashells God revealed to me that all the millions of broken shells

represent the millions of people with broken lives and how life washes them up out of the depths

and leaves them discarded on the shore.

Then to add insult to injury people come along and sort through them, people just like me, only

taking the ones that are beautiful and whole. Discarding, once again, those that are less desirable.

I ask God to show Himself to me, hoping for a beautiful, whole seashell, instead I got something

much more valuable. A revelation of sorts, insights into who He is and who I am supposed to be.

When I asked for a beautiful, whole seashell, I distinctly heard Him say, then stop walking on the shore

and go deep. Don't be afraid to dive into the depths for that is where you will find my pearls. Don't be

afraid to dive in and explore.

Just as there is much beauty to be found in the depths of the ocean, there is much beauty to be found in

the depths of My Word.

Dive in and enjoy. Discover who I really am. The GREAT I AM!!!!

Broken shells represent broken live.
