+ Faith is just stepping out. When Peter leapt out of the boat, he didn't fast and pray and wait for a clear word...he just looked at Me and did it. I want you to be bolder and less afraid of making mistakes or worrying about how you are perceived. Perception is a mirage. No one has clear perception of other people's hearts and motives - only the Father does. This is why judgment is always wrong! It is based on limited perception and is an analysis that is no different than that of the bragging Pharisee assuring God of his comparative worth! Resist all judgment. Its sweet taste is artificial and quickly turns to poison in your system. It dims your spirit, that is ever seeking to hear My Voice and to have clearer vision. This is a hard lesson to learn. As you grow closer and closer to who the Father created you to be, the Spirit will make you more and more aware of the subtle judgments you still enjoy! I don't judge you...nor does the Spirit or the Father! In fact, the Father has blinded Himself from any and all sin in you by putting you in Me. That's how He has cast your sin and weakness into the sea, as far as the east is from the west. Can you see now, how truly you need to cast any and all judgment far from you? Think of the debtor who was forgiven the great debt and who then turned around and demanded payment! This is no different! I do not tell you these things to lay a burden on you or to get you to analyze your every move. The Father has chosen you to be His own... to be His beloved child. The Holy Spirit is just helping to lead you very intentionally into understanding your heritage. He wants you to look like your Father. You were re-created back into His image. So it's easy to see...just as there's no judgment - only love and acceptance in Him - all the more...there should be these same inherited traits in you. How do you learn to live in this kind of generosity of Spirit? Keep your eyes on Me and if you start to falter and slip, do not fret and focus on your weakness, step out and walk on the water! Your faith is Rock solid! You are IN Me!
