This is a fascinating analogy, and meaningful. I believe that many people seek security in the wrong way, exteriorly rather than interiorly. Our security and grounding must come from knowing - by experience - the deep and abiding love of God towards us, just as we are. No expectation other than that we receive it and allow it to release our fears…
I'm glad the analogy was helpful for you, Korie. More and more I think our fundamental call is to simply rest in God without struggle, to move with the current as it were. Our struggle is how to simply let go and do that.
I certainly agree with that - it’s our desire and search for control over things that makes it hard for us to feel secure. We must let go of the desire to control our circumstances.
