Anti-Freeze

I had the opportunity to go to the Aquarium with my family a few weeks ago in Long Beach, California. Who knew it would be so much fun!! Experiencing all of Gods beauty and greatness as we walked around and looked at all of the fish. The beautiful colors, the different shapes and sizes. Down to the details in the fish's eyes, it was breath taking. It brought so much joy to my spirit to see God even through just a trip to the Aquarium! As we walk, I'm reading and I see the Toothfish. It reads "toothfish have a special protein in their bodies, that acts as anti-freeze to keep the fish from freezing, enabling them to live in the icy waters of the Antartica." Amazing!!! 

Just like these fish, God gave us a special protein to sustain life in the challenging circumstances that could possibly kill us... the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we are in freezing waters and it feels like we could freeze or drown at any moment. We are ready to give up and it feels like we can't make it through. Remember beloved, we too have anti-freeze that nurtures our souls and empowers us each day. We are not alone. The Holy Spirit is our comforter and he keeps us alive. He enables us to make it through each day, no matter how difficult and we are sure to freeze to death without Him. 

Love,
Dot
