When You Swim in the Ocean

God said:

It is true that I AM the Doer. I am the Accomplisher. This is not arguable.

At the same time, I, the Doer, planted you on Earth and appointed you delegate. Earth is the realm of action. This means you are a doer as well. You are not just a sitter. You are not a waiter for life to transpire. You also get out there and hustle. It is very good to rely on Me. It is also good to remember that I rely on you as well.

When you swim in the ocean, you don't wait for Me to move your arms. Certainly, I give you the energy and motive to move your arms, but you are the one who moves them.

When you grow a garden, you plant the seeds you want to grow. If you want tomatoes, you don't just lie in a hammock leaving it up to Me to blow tomato seeds your way.

When you are looking for work, you go out and look for work. You don't just wait for Me to find you a job. Certainly I am the One Who provides you with it, and yet you are the one who walks the pavement.

I steer your ship of life, and yet your hands are on the wheel.

As in a chorus, even when you can't carry the tune, and you don't know the words, you move your lips just the same. I, God, ask no less of you on Earth. Are you not in a chorus of My Creation?

Sometimes your desires are fulfilled just like that! You have nothing to do but desire what you want, and there it is. At other times you have to get out there and chop the wood for a fire. You have to go after what you desire and make it happen. It is not for you to leave it all to Me. My beloved son Christ did not sit in a corner café waiting for love and wisdom to appear. He went out and loved. He walked miles. He counted on Me, and I could count on him as well.

Know that I am the Fulfiller of your dreams. At the same time, get out there and fulfill them yourself. If you want to read a book, you don't wait for Me to read it to you. If you want to learn French, you don't wait for the French language to descend on you. You are to be active in your search for life and what it means to you. You don't hold on tight, but like the three little pigs, you do go out into the world to seek your fortune. True, your fortune may seek you, yet still, you seek it. Seek and rest. Work and rest. Life is not all pause anymore than it is all activity.

And always know, whatever your specific search may be, yours is the mission to impart love along the way.

Perhaps everywhere you go and everything you do is an excuse for your mission of love. Yes, you are a farmer of love. Love is the crop you plant, and love is the crop you reap. Whatever the lay of your land, whichever direction you plow in, whatever the methods you use, you are sowing love. Love waits for you to move it. Love makes Me appear. Love makes Me apparent. I pull you, and you also pull Me. I carry you, and you also carry Me.
