Sharks? That Can't Be Him...

Tonight I caught a bit of the movie Finding Nemo on TV. In the scene I saw, the bird (don't know his name) rushed to tell Nemo that his father had traveled the whole ocean just to find him, fighting sharks and jellyfish, and all other kinds of things. Nemo, from inside the fish tank at the dentist's office, immediately changes moods. He goes from excitement to doubt. He says, "Sharks? That can't be him."

I was immediately struck by how similiar Nemo's response to this news about his father is to my own in regards to my Heavenly Father. Too often, I doubt His power. Too often, I doubt His love. Too often I doubt His grace. Too often, I fail to remember the lengths at which my God has already traveled just for me. He loves me. He's promised to care for me. He's promised a future for me! There is no God like my God!
