One day, I was visiting with a friend when the Lord began to show me some things about this season we are in. Excitedly, I said to this friend, "There are no limits here, only in our minds."
She replied, "That's why we are to have faith like a child. They don't consider the logistics of anything, and they just want it and go after it with abandon."
Childlike Faith
When she said that, I immediately pictured my grandson, Bryson. It has been over eighteen years since he first discovered the thrill of buying new toys. We would take him to the store, and he would look at several toys, and his mom would say, "Which one do you want? Pick one."
He would point to one, and that's the one he would get. I often thought of how wonderful it was that he would just pick one and be content. However, it didn't take long for him to catch on, and things changed.
One day, when he was two years old, we went to the store. I sat Bryson down to look at the toys. He stared at them in wonder and amazement. He looked at this one and then that one, and then came the usual command. I said, "Bryson, pick which one you want, and we will go pay for it."
He smiled and turned back to the toys, and then he picked up every single one that he could possibly get in his little arms and started down the aisle. (Photo via Unsplash)
Breanne and I busted out laughing. The one he picked was an arm full. It was absolutely the cutest thing I have ever seen. Did I make him put one back? No, I didn't. I got them all. Now, that may not be a good practice later, but this Nana's heart was happy to do it that day.
What Would You Say if God Said, "Pick What You Want"?
There is one thing I know: In this place in the spirit that we are in right now, there are no limits. The only limits are found in our own thinking. If you can imagine it, and it does not go against the word of God, you can have it. You can literally do what Bryson did and load up on His benefits. As a matter of fact, the Bible says He daily loads us with benefits.
"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Selah." (Psalm 68:19 NKJV)
If God said to you today, "Pick what you want." Would you be timid and say, "Well, I will just take this one thing. I really don't need that much." Or would you be like Bryson and load up, knowing that your Father couldn't resist you?
He says to come to Him as a little child. A little child would load themselves up with all they could carry. I know, I saw it with my own eyes.
Could Your Own Thinking Be Limiting What You Are Receiving?
We are in a season of a tremendous outpouring of blessing. It's there. Whether you see it or not, it is there. It is a time to load up with benefits. Don't be shy.
One day, I went to look at a desk. While I was there, the salesman said, "Come in this room. There are some things in here we don't need and are giving away."
I looked and said, "Well, I really don't need any of this, but I have a friend who just opened her offices, and she will need some of it."
He looked at me and said, "Don't be shy; take all you want."
I picked up a few things and left with them.
After I returned home, I thought about it, and I realized I should have brought most of it home to her. It would have been such a blessing to her, but I didn't want to be greedy... at least that is what I told myself. Really, it was not that at all. I had that mentality of "I will just take a couple things."
I believe that is what God is trying to work out of me. He is trying to work limits out of me and get me to the place where I am like Bryson—like a little child, a child willing to receive abundant blessings from God. (Photo via Pexels)
What about you? Do you settle for only having your needs met? Do you allow God to daily load you with His benefits? What would you say to God today if He said, "Take whatever you like; I will give it to you"?
Load Yourself up with His Benefits
You see, He has already paid for it all through the blood of Christ. It is paid in full. You only need to load yourself up with it today and walk on with all your blessings. You don't have to choose just one. You can have it all.
Everything He purchased at the cross, you can have it all. Load yourself up with health, peace, prosperity, soundness of mind, healthy relationships, businesses that prosper, and joy! Don't take just one; take them all! Come to Him as a little child and load up.
