Shell of safety

Here is an interesting word or story that God gave me and that He spoke through. I pray it speaks to you as well.

Let me tell you a story about a turtle who laid her eggs. Then there was a mama bear who came and stole the eggs. But before she ate the eggs, she decided she would keep them and raise them as her own. As the turtles grew up, they thought they were never good enough because they never compared to the other bear cubs around them. But they discovered that they had the safety of their shell, and they could take cover and be safe in their shell wherever they were, and the cubs couldn’t do that. The turtle realized it came from two different worlds and it could help bridge the gap between the turtles and the bears because it came from two different worlds. It’s kind of like you. You live between two different worlds, and I am your shell. When the world gets hectic you can hop into your shell for safety wherever you are and when you’re ready to go out into the world you pop back out and be on your way. You are not influenced by the world around because you have your shell. When you’re in the shell you aren’t affected by the world and when you’re in the shell you are going deeper within yourself which is with me so when you come out you go and influence the world rather than, it influencing you. The difference between the place you’re at in your life now is that you can stay in the safety of your shell only when you need it otherwise go explore the world around you and see how you have been given the gift of living in harmony between the two worlds. I have heard your cries for help, and I want you to know I am not ignoring you or abandoning you but rather I am empowering you to learn your own strength. Just like the turtle you will always have the safety of your shell wherever you may find yourself, but I don’t want that to limit you either because you were made to explore and adventure and change the world while you did it. Your safety goes with you rather than people of this world are like the bear cubs who think they have their own power and strength to protect themselves and they run and take cover when something happens. You don’t have to worry about that because you have a world that travels with you. That’s kind of like what a turtle’s shell is a whole other world that travels with them wherever they go. I have equipped you with everything you will need and right now we are simply unburying it for you to learn how to use. Don’t worry, just like the turtle wasn’t harmed by the bears, when they were in the bears world neither will you be harmed when you are in the world. You will have your shell of safety around you at all times!
