Faith is to trust and believe.  Faith makes the impossible possible. When you feel like a sunken ship, beat up and bruised and your wounds are as deep as the ocean.  Jesus tells his friends to cast a net and his love reaches into the deepest places.  Jesus picks up all the broken ones and He makes something beautiful because the mess is never wasted. He can’t leave us the way He finds us. He is making all things new so His light shines through. He bends low and draws a line in the sand.  Even the wind and the waves obey His commands.  The ocean current carries us but we are never too far out of His reach.  His peace, mercy and grace come like a crashing wave and we are set free.  Now we have to go and share why Jesus died for all of us because hearts that have been set free can never be quiet.
