One cool morning on the way to church, as I recall, it was unusually quiet and this story came to me to share. I ran in the church and took a seat and began to scribble down what I knew to write not thinking much more of it. Remembering a few days ago and rereading I believed it was to share here. There is still a message. There's something in it for you, no matter its simplicity.
There once was a noble king, though knowing it not, his heart was daunted with a sense of unworthiness because of generations long ago. Perhaps places he had been or how life had been encountered over much time. This ailed his mind often, not realizing truly who he was. God so desired to give to him, unlike anything he could imagine, his greatest desires. Wrong voices were constant in lulling him, trying to create pride, to deceive him, showing him by serving man was the way. Outwardly this unknown king came from a place without all of the good things in life. It weighed upon his mind at times. Still, one having a heart, it could hardly be restrained the heaviness on the inside of the pain and wreckage and scattering; even of nations before his eyes. Mindfully and in his heart, he held in his hands a great responsibility he knew not what to do with. One glorious but quiet night he was given a locket. God knowing the king within him, knowing his thoughts, knew he would ask himself "Whatever will I do with this without a key?" He had been given the key of life, but realized not the offer. Kingly life, power, wealth, life, wisdom and honor in God. It all belongs to him. It was forever in his heart that he had to do it all because of his position. There were the righteous to offer help but somehow he could never relinquish the debt fully to help take this burden that taxed his heart so heavily each day. God wanted him to see. The key was, in part, within and was full of love. It was in his make up. Until now, this king had been set aside unknowingly all that he was purposed to be. Wealth that included gold but was far greater even than gold. It could not manifest as a key to him until unlocking the mystery of his heart to know that love would show the way and be the key to unlock that which he saw in his dream. God has shown him he has already given power and ability to love many by not withholding onto the desires of his heart. He could go as far as he wanted in God and all deceptions put away. Much love released to others. All the strongholds of the city began to fall because of the lie that was now turned to truth. Life was produced and there was bounty in the land... past, present and future.
