Love Like an Ocean

What does it mean to have love like the ocean?

1. Oceans are enormous.  In fact, we can't see their limits, and can even imagine that they are boundless.  So it is with love.
2. Oceans are deep.  They can be so deep that we can't imagine how far away the bottom is.  So it is with love.
3. Oceans are full of life.  They are teaming with huge creatures and microscopic organisms of all kinds.  Life is so abundant in an ocean that we even know every creatures that can be found there. That's a huge image for inclusivity.  Love it like that.
4. Oceans are passageways for heavy ships.  It's amazing to me that ocean liners and cruise ships can float.  Love lifts us up.
5. Oceans are salty.  Love is salty - bringing the important taste of God wherever it goes.
6. Oceans are not still.  There are always waves - the waves might be small or large, but they are a constant encounter if you are in the ocean.  Love is like that - relentless.

May we have and be love like an ocean.
