Christian Living
We recently took our daughter Avery to the Denver Aquarium, and she had a blast! She was in awe of the diferent fish, colored coral, and best of all, the sharks. One of the first things we saw as we walked in was a SMALL little aquarium filled with SMALL fish. I was excited to hurry along and see the exciting things, like sharks, but Avery's eyes locked on to the small fish in the small aquarium and she was mesmerized. I couldn't get her to keep walking to see the really good stuff. I kept saying, "Avery there are much better and more exciting things around the corner", but she didn't want to leave the first tank. She didn't know what was around the corner waiting for her. She just knew that what she was looking at was pretty cool.
God is calling all of us to move out into deeper waters with Him. The kind of place where we have to trust Him on a daily basis. The place that's scary to us but perfect to Him. As we do this we may have to leave familiar things behind. Ouch. You know, the things that comfort us. The things that may even rival God's place in our hearts. Or, it may even be things that aren't necessarily bad, but He simply has better things planned for us. Why stare at the minnows when you can see the sharks? He has proved Himself faithful too many times for me to stand in ankle-deep water. Besides, it gets boring close to shore.

It's interesting because I thought the child can see the beauty in the little things while the adults want to rush right by the little beautiful things that God made and hurry to seethe big sharks totally bypassing the minnows.
This is nice, because depending where you are in your life ~ you could read this price and take it in different ways.
