For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God. (Hebrews 6:7, NKJV)
God gives to us. Everything we need is in Him. We receive from Him. Just as the earth receives the rain as a blessing from God, we receive what we need from our good Father.
Be wide in your receiving like a wide receiver in football. He does not initiate. He doesn't throw the ball, but rather receives what is being thrown to him. A surfer watches the waves and receives the one that comes. He doesn't create the waves, but rather receives it. An inspired musician or author often describe a "receiving" of the music/word that comes to them from a bigger Source.
I saw the truth that Jesus was bigger than I thought He was. What He did was bigger than I thought it was. His love for me was bigger than I thought it was. His graciousness towards me was bigger than I originally thought. When you see this Truth, you almost can't help to become prone and be at rest and receive. It's all about Him.
