God gave me a question today: Are you experiencing the fullness of what I have given to you?
I saw a beach with beautiful crystal clear water and the sky was a brilliant blue. The temperature was just right. Everything about it was just right. There was an excitement to be at the beach on such a wonderful day. As we got closer to the water, we realized no one was enjoying the water or the beach. Nobody was stepping into the water even though they were at the perfect place to get in. There was a hesitation to step into the water and enjoy swimming as if there was a fear that something bad might happen. However- the feeling of the beach was perfect. It was in this moment that I sensed what seemed to be God’s sorrow.
“All of this I have made for you to enjoy. Why aren’t you enjoying this time to it’s fullest? This is a time and a place I have created for you to soak in My presence. Do not be afraid to enter into my waters. Everything is just right right now.”
At this point I began to see some people in the water playing and enjoying where they were without any thought of anything else. No care or concern for anything but what they were doing at that moment. Yet some remained on the shore yearning and longing to enter in the water.
God said, “ You do not have to be in the water or on the beach- your location doesn’t matter. What I want is for you to enjoy what I have done for you. It is a heart attitude. It’s OK to be on the shore enjoying the view and the presence of a just right moment. Just know that all of this is for you. Enjoy My Presence.”
So, are we enjoying His Presence today? No matter where we are or what we’re doing, do you have a sense that your God is near?
Duet. 16:15 “For 7 days celebrate the feast to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.”
I felt the need to share this with each of you.
