This week’s Living Water from @christiansurfers_us ・・・ LIVING WATER Relentless by JW Kaiser One of the most influential writers in my lifetime, Eugene Peterson, recently passed from serving Jesus here on Earth to being with Jesus in heaven. At his worship service celebrating his life, his son shared that for all his father’s writing and teaching, his consistent message that had shared with him daily were these simple and profound words: “God loves you. He is on your side. He is coming after you. He is relentless.” The word “relentless” has haunted me since I read those words. If you have surfed significant waves before, then you are probably familiar with what the word “relentless” describes. Being held down by the wave energy, the sheer force that takes over in the situation that is out of your control is summed up by that simple word “relentless”. In surfing, that word is something to be feared and a situation to be avoided. I have to ask myself, if I am also trying to avoid the relentless pursuit and love of God in my life. Do we by nature want to resist anything that we have no control over? I’d rather stay away from the relentless waves of God’s pursuit. It feels safer on the shore without it. But just as a relentless wave will not let up even if I wish it away, God does not need our permission to keep coming after us with a love we can not resist. Scripture proclaims that, “As I live and breath, says God, every knee will bow before me; every tongue confess that I and I alone are God.” (Phil 2:10) God is coming after us with a relentless love because God is God and we are not and God wills it to be so. The words of the song Reckless Love describe it this way: There’s no shadow You won’t light up Mountain You won’t climb up Coming after me There’s no wall You won’t kick down Lie You won’t tear down Coming after me Join me in laying down our efforts to resist out of pride, fear or disbelief. In the relentless waters of an angry ocean we must fight to live. Against the relentless love of God, we must give up our lives so that we may live.
“I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭40:1-3‬ #everysurfer 📸 @naomidalsbo
Join us this week in praying for Taiwan, where Christian Surfers has been slow going in the past but during 2018 a team of 13 moved to one of the key surfing communities in Yilan to plant a new YWAM ministry, partnered with CS. Since then many new doors for ministry have been opening up in the local surfing community and more people have been opening their hearts to the gospel. In March 2019 they will run their first Surfers DTS in Yilan. They are excited to see all that God will do through this program to reach and train surfers to reach other surfers. Pray also for the upcoming WSL World Longboard and World Junior Championships beginning next week in Jinzun Harbour in the south, with international chaplains and CS Taiwan present. #everysurfer 📸 @quandtify

Camping on the beach in the south of Chile for a weekend of surf, fun and fellowship was an awesome way to celebrate @christiansurferschile's annual National Gathering. Check out the highlights via link in bio!
Join us in praying this week for Japan, where surfing is receiving increased attention due to its inclusion in the 2020 Olympics, to be held in Tokyo, and Japan has just won team gold for the first time ever at an @isasurfing event. CS Japan is now widely recognized in Christian circles in Japan and there are many possibilities for surf ministry heading towards the Olympics, however they are looking for a new National Director. Please pray for the future of CS Japan, especially for a new leader, pray also for the Regional Coordinators David, Oka & JP, and for the Board Members Kent, Yuya, Ryutaro and Tantan. #everysurfer
Repost from @christiansurfersgirls ・・・ “How blessed and greatly favoured is the woman who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing herself to You with confident hope and expectation].” ‭‭- Psalm‬ ‭84:12‬ ‭ Are you a hurried surfer, always paddling around in the line up to catch the next wave that comes through, or do you enjoy the wait between the waves, sitting patiently for whatever comes your way, whenever it comes? Our life with God can often feel like a wait between the waves. We choose who we are in those moments, those seasons. We can be like the hurried surfer, paddling around and around, trying to get anything just so we don’t have to wait...or, we can be the patient surfer, who knows that in time, something will come to them, and when that time comes, that is when they will move. God desires our patience, to trust Him in between the waves and to wait for what He has for us. We are called to rely on God, and put our faith in Him, not ourselves. It’s when we stop trusting God that we become like the hurried surfer, paddling around to get anything within our own strength. Wait for God. Be still in those moments know that He is faithful and your wave will come. Photo: @shannonbrookehughes
