Everything

My child,
how can you want more
than everything?
Everything
I have
is yours.
You do not receive
because
you do not ask.
Why do you not ask?
Have I not said
that you can ask Me
for anything
in My name
and
you will receive.
And yet
you stand
on the shoreline,
looking out
over the vast ocean,
and you envy
those who
have ventured in.
Have courage.
Believe.
Take a step
into the waters;
into the ocean
of My love;
of My grace.
Go further;
go deeper
until
you are out of your depth
in My love;
until
you can no longer stand
on your own feet;
until
you can no longer rely
on your own efforts;
until
you have to let Me
hold you;
until
you have to trust
Me.
And,
once you do,
you will be free;
free
to enjoy the waters;
free
to laugh;
to play;
to splash;
to swim
with Me,
your loving Father.
Come,
there is room
for everyone.
