Be not afraid to launch out into the deep! Be not as those who crowd the shoreline and look out in wonderment and amazement at those who ride the waves. For have I not said that many changes will come like a mighty ocean breaker? It shall come and come and come again, and you must ride these waves. Even though you understand not, you must take the plunge into the cold water. You must fight against the current. You must put your heart into getting into position, that the wave may catch you and drive you forward to new heights of the spirit!
Though you may be inexperienced and though you may be cold or feel frigid, I ask only that you step out onto the water that I may take you up, that I may come under you with the power of God like a mighty wave, that I may swoop you up. You shall find the exhilaration of My Spirit far beyond what you have experienced before.--So much so, that you shall long for this feeling, you shall desire this change, you shall want more and crave more and never get enough.
Have I not put in the heart of those who ride the waters the same desire to want more? I shall put that desire in you if you will but take the first step and launch out into the deep for Me. Be not as those upon the shoreline who watch and marvel but do not partake. You must launch out to receive the benefits. You must strike out into the water. You must dive in!
I will not require it before your time, but I will require it, each in his own way. But I have promised you that you shall be able to ride this wave and the many waves to follow, if you will only take the first step (ML #2994).
