God’s truth washes away pain

Jonah

My family and I traveled to Florida for a Thanksgiving vacation near the beach. On Thanksgiving Day we went to the beach for the whole morning. Then we headed to our RV (a motor home) for our Thanksgiving lunch. 

After lunch, my stomach hurt. My mom and I prayed about it and came up with an amazing thought based on what we had witnessed at the beach earlier that morning. I had built lots of sand castles, but no matter how big or solidly I built them, they were always washed away by the waves. 

We thought of the ocean as standing for God’s power. And we compared the tummy pain to one of those grains of sand. The tummy pain or grain of sand didn’t stand a chance against God’s mighty ocean of truth. Truth always washes away error, or anything that isn’t good.
