This may look like a strange picture, but if you look through the ice and messiness you will see a beautiful ice heart. I did not make this heart, after fishing for about 6 hours I noticed it had formed there.

It’s not my most favourite adventure, taking a risk in the cold to possibly catch a fish, but I am married to a man who loves to fish in any condition! So, early in January last year we bundled up our daughter and ourselves and headed out for some fresh air adventure.

After about 6 hours I had only caught one fish and it seemed like the drought was dragging on. Thoughts continued going through my mind about my life, thoughts of the unknown, the maybe’s and the what could be’s. I thought, “I’m fairly insignificant, maybe God’s not paying attention today like I thought He always had..” Let me just say, I am an imperfect person and this is very honest – I was having a bit of a bad day.
Just then, I looked up and I noticed this ice heart in my fishing hole, it was such a sweet surprise! While I was murmuring over a cold piece of ice, God was paying attention as He is always faithful in doing. As a little reminder, the creator of this world made a little ice heart form just to remind me He loves me. What a gift. And this is a gift for each of you too, I have been waiting and holding on to this ice heart wondering where God was going to use it for His glory.

As we ponder many things during this Lent season, let us not forget how significant we are to our Saviour. He in his love for us; gave his life to save us, and to have us for his own. Take a moment each day during this Lent season and try to grasp your significance to God. Look what he has done for us in his deep and everlasting love for us – thank you Jesus!

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you not forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 31:8
