I'm taking you to live in the Bay of Plenty.

Flying is a choice. Climbing onto the back of the Lion is a choice. It is embracing the unknown. The Lion is an untamed animal. It is a risk to draw near Him. You cannot know His every move or motive. You just have to believe in what you know to be true about Him. That He is good, and just. That He is love. He is always love even when it doesn't look like what we imagined it would.
I drew near Him this morning, he whispered to me, "Climb on my back, I am taking you to live in the Bay of Plenty". I climbed on, but we didn't move. Confused, I asked, "When are we going?". He responded, "We are here. You are here and have always been here. The Bay of Plenty is in me. The Bay of Plenty comes when you realize that I love you so much I have made a bed for you in my heart. You have always lived in my heart, as my beloved in whom I am well pleased. When you begin to realize that, things will open up for you. I have much in store for you, but you must seek those things in my heart. Everything you need, will need and have ever needed is in my heart for you. I am just waiting for you to realize that and reach in and take it."
So, it a choice to believe that we live in His heart, to believe that we are His beloved. Also to believe (and this is the hard one for me) that He has everything we will ever need and even things we want, already waiting on us. He has the Bay of Plenty in His heart prepared for us, it is there waiting for us to believe, reach in and grab on to. Lets not shy away from what He wants to give us, but boldly reach out and take what is ours.
