A Seafarer: someone who works or travels on a boat or ship on the sea ⠀ I stumbled across this word and it got me thinking about those who make a living traveling out to sea, especially those who are gone for weeks, months, or years at a time. I am sure it takes some degree of bravery to leave the comfort land for an endless ocean. After all, the ocean is so much more than just the beautiful seascape depicted in paintings. It wild and unpredictable, and not hesitant to remind us how small we are. And yet still, brave souls who venture out, even though they are well aware of the uncertainty. ⠀ This poem was inspired by me wanting to brave in this way when it comes to my faith. I don’t want to hold back because I’m so afraid of the what the unknown will do to me. I want to be brave enough to move from my allotted place on shore in order to know The Lord more and see what He has in store. Because I know that even in an boundless ocean, He is with me. The greatest depth of the ocean is no mystery to Him. And that’s how I know I can trust Him, even in uncertain waters. -- source link
