Beloved,
The size of the waves surrounding you appears only as large as your perception allows. Leaning into perception immobilizes and gives weight to fear—enough to paralyze your momentum, enough weight to disempower your courage. Wrong perspective immobilizes your thoughts, disempowers your faith, and creates a virtual reality that distorts what is true and what is trustworthy.
Beloved, stay alert, stay on guard, resist yielding to a virtual reality, give it no attention, refrain from responding to its demands, nor to its deceptions. Instead, let your heart look through the lens of My perspective, for this empowers and enables your faith to respond to My truth and My promises.
The command was never to walk on water; the invitation was to come!
An invitation to let go of what is immobilizing your faith and step into the brave zone, the zone where My love covers all your fear and faith becomes the light shining bright within the storm. Let My truth be the lens through which you view every wave, looking from Heaven’s perspective.
Embrace My truth resounding through the storm. When you are weak, I am strong! For it is within the storm that you discover My strength. The invitation to come is not to prove your strength; instead, it is to encounter MINE.
Encounter and embrace My presence already present!
No matter what you SEE, no matter what you FEEL; respond to My invitation to come and step into the brave zone. Keep your eyes fixed on Me. Let My presence be magnified above your surroundings, above what you feel, above what you need to face or need to let go of. My presence is the CERTAINTY when you CHOOSE to step into the brave zone.
Guard the lens of your heart, for the lens you choose to look through WILL affect how you view what you need to face. Do not allow the virtual reality of fear to become more convincing than the reality of My presence. Do not allow the size of the waves to intimidate the limitless possibilities within you.
Let your faith be empowered through the One who says, “Come!”
My presence holds you steady in the brave zone. Accept the invitation to come and leave what you do not understand. Let go of your own security and step into the water, step into trust, step into the impossible, step into the brave zone where only My Word, My truth, My promises, and My presence sustain you.
Beloved, be brave and step out!
Discover what My Word can hold. My Word will never leave you disappointed. My presence will never leave you without support. The brave zone is not the absence of fear; instead, it is responding to My voice in the midst of your fear. Even though fear is felt in the water, even though fear is echoed through the wind, step into My invitation to come!
Even if you do not feel brave, accept My invitation to come and step into the brave zone, not to prove your courage, not to prove your bravery, not to prove your strength—but to discover MINE!
Stepping into the brave zone will lead your faith to discover My mighty strength working through you!
Beloved, the miracle is the One standing before you. Every step toward Me is greater than every wave around you. Instead of waiting for the storm to become smaller before you come, let My presence become greater in your sight.
Faith recognises that I am here. I have never been absent. I have always been here, and I am greater than the storm.
My presence is greater than the storm.
Beloved, I am here! Come!
Papa
AFTERTHOUGHT
Fear measures the height of the waves. Faith measures Papa’s presence. Peter did not discover the miracle beneath his feet. He discovered the Miracle standing before him. The invitation is still the same today… Come!
Read Matthew 14 again. Notice that Jesus never said, “Walk on the water.” He simply said, “Come.” The invitation was never primarily to step onto the water; it was to step into a greater awareness of the ONE who was already present.
As you reflect on this letter, ask yourself:
What have I been waiting to become smaller before I respond to His invitation to come?
