From: God

Often in life you will meet with disappointment. You will have days when you don’t know what to think. You will have days when you don’t know what to believe. You work hard and don’t see results, or at least not the results that you want to see or think that you should see, and so you doubt yourself. You doubt the path that you walk. You don’t know whether you’re wasting your time.

Is it time to give up? Are you going forward from stubbornness or from faith?

Are you following spiritual guidance or clinging to old perceptions and desires?

Are you following your heart or your ego?

I know that for you it’s not always easy to know which way to turn. It’s not easy to know which path to walk.

In times of distress you can always come to Me. Put your faith in Me and in yourself. You don’t always notice when I guide you, but I surely do. You don’t always recognize that you follow Me even when you do. You don’t always see how the work you do matters, but surely it does.

If you turn to Me every day seeking My Guidance, seeking My Counsel you can be sure that you receive it. You may not notice, but you do receive it. I do guide you. I help to shape your thinking.

Come to Me and then trust your intuition.

I know that it can be difficult to trust your intuition. It can be difficult to have faith in yourself when you know that you are mortal, that you have made mistakes and that you will make what appear to be mistakes again. It can be difficult to believe that I guide you, that I love you and that I am with you now; and yet, it is the truth. Even when things don’t go the way that you want or the way that you have planned it is all OK. It is alright. You serve Me well and you serve the world.

If you truly desire to serve Me I can and do work with that. I work with you. Most often I work with you on a subconscious level, unnoticed. I am gentle. I do not see the need to push you.

Remember Child that We are inseparable and you always have Me with you. We have never truly been apart. Consider the possibility that even the mistakes you made may have their purpose. Consider that even those lessons in humility serve the cause of love and light. Consider that maybe you are not as weak, as flawed or as damaged as you may think. In fact, it is certain that you are not. Light cannot really be broken and you are My Light made manifest.

Your failings in the world are not really the failings you believe them to be.

You have not failed Me and you will not.

In truth you cannot.

Failure is all in your head. It is in your thoughts. It is in your beliefs. It is all in the way that you look at the world.

I am more concerned with being. I am more concerned with the Light that you are than with your strengths and weaknesses in the world. I am enamored of you, the real you, the being of Light that you truly are. I simply don’t care about your perceived faults. I know that they are real enough to you; but they are all of the fleeting mortal world. They don’t last and they don’t matter nearly as much as you think.

Do you really think that in the Infinite Universe it matters so much if you are employed or unemployed? Do you think it matters that much if you make a mistake?

When I tell you that you should release your hold on self importance I don’t mean it as a criticism. I mean that self importance isn’t truth and that it hurts you. I love you and would prefer to see you happy than torturing yourself by clinging to illusion. I love you, Child.

That’s hard for you to really believe while you are wrapped up in the illusion. While you look too much at your flaws, believing that they matter and believing that they somehow make you less worth loving it is hard for you to believe that I love you and yet that is Truth while your faith in your own weakness is misplaced.

You see your own failures, or at least those things you think of as failure, and so you believe in your weakness. You see it everyday and yet it is false. It is seen, but it is unreal. What your eyes show you is not always the truth and not always to be believed.

You are not a failure. You are not lost. You are not broken. You are not weak.

You could have lost your limbs and be in a wheelchair every day and I would tell you the same.

You are stronger than you think. You have done more good than you believe. You are safe with Me in heaven and as you journey on earth you do in fact serve the Cause of Love and Light. You serve Me well even if you don’t always see it. You serve Me well even if you don’t believe it.

For your sake I ask you to believe in that more than in what you have believed.

Believe I love you more than you believe in what your eyes tell you.

Believe that the world is a better place for having you in it.

I made no mistakes when I created you and I made no mistake when I sent you to earth. Try and believe that the Power of God never fails and that means that you have never been the failure that you thought. You have never been so weak as you imagined.

Faith in Me leads you to faith in yourself. Faith in Me leads you to faith in the goodness of humanity. Faith in Me leads you to faith in a brighter future.

Let go of your doubts and return your thoughts to Me. Let Me restore your faith when you doubt. Let Me fill you with the Light of My Love. Let Me bless you. Let Me heal you.

I want to do it because I love you; but, I gave you a choice.

You have the choice to turn to Me when you suffer or away. You can look to Me or you can believe what your mind is telling you. You can invite Me in and let Me take the pain away or you can cling to it.

Please Child, let Me in today.

Remember Me and let Me lift you up.

Let Me lift your spirits.

Let Me lift you higher.

Let Me lift you to heaven.

One issue that has been a persistent issue for you is tied to your desire for Ascension.

The desire to grow spiritually is a good thing; but it is still a desire. The desire to be wiser and more loving is still a desire. The desire to be happy is still a desire. The desire to be less critical is still a desire.

These are all good things in their way; but desire never provides lasting satisfaction. Desire keeps you moving forward and is a good thing, but desire keeps you moving forward in large part because it never provides lasting satisfaction. This is why if you want peace of mind you must learn to let go of desire.

And yet the desire to be free of desire is still a desire.

Sometimes it is better to just do, to just act and once you are moving give no more thought to why you are doing it. Desire is your inspiration, some dream that you would like to make come true gets you moving, and then you let go of thinking about it and why. Once you are at the gym does it matter why you’re there? You don’t need to think anymore at that point.

Sometimes the message of just be in the moment means to just do what your doing. You don’t need to think about it. You don’t need to analyze it. Just act. Put all your attention and energy into the task at hand. While you’re at the gym focus on the movement of your body. Feel all the sensations. Be fully engaged in that task.

There is a bliss that you find in focus. There is a pleasure that you unlock once you let go of thinking and just do.

You don’t need to think about all the various thoughts and feelings that brought you to the gym, you just need to exercise.

Just do.

Just be.

Often your feelings of detachment and separation from life are tied from the tendency of the mind to over-analyze. It is good to think and it is good to analyze; but these things become overdone. They pull energy away from where it is needed. When your running you legs need the calories, not your brain. Your brain is certainly involved in the process of running; but thinking about running and why you’re running doesn’t actually help. The part of your mind which analyzes is overactive.

This is all that I really mean when I tell you that you need to learn to let go. I also mean that you need to learn to focus. Meditation helps train you to focus. Meditation helps you to more fully engage in life. The more you fully engage in whatever activity you are doing, the better you will do. If your mind is wandering your performance suffers.

When you notice that you’re thinking too much about what you’re doing simply return your thoughts to the task at hand. Your ability to focus can and will improve.

And, if you need help, call on Me. I can and will help bring peace to your mind. I will bring clarity. I will help you to focus. I will help you to let go and to enter into the present moment.

From: God

Sometimes the best thing that you can do is nothing.

There are times in your life when you may find that your emotions scream at you to act and yet anything you do will make things worse. This is true on a physical level of course. Hunters and outdoors-men certainly know the value of stillness. But, this is also important on a social level.

Sometimes opening your mouth and sharing your opinion will damage a relationship. It doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with you or with your opinion; but sometimes even sharing a potentially helpful observation can upset people. Other times sharing your thoughts and feelings even when unwelcome is a necessary part of healing.

Sometimes the work you do trying to fix a situation will make things worse and other times you will actually improve things.

Often doing nothing if only for a little while gives you a better chance to assess and understand the situation.

Taking the time to pause and to think is often all it takes to save you from impulsive decisions.

Fear is by its nature impulsive. It is fast and it wants you to make your decisions quickly. When you are running on fear you feel a great sense of urgency. When fear is in the drivers’ seat it is often difficult to slow down.

It is important that you see how often hasty decisions are not well-thought out. They make sense in their way but they often backfire. Hasty decisions are usually missing important details.

Slow down a little bit. Take the time to think. Take the time to analyze. Take the time to come to Me and to prayerfully consider your decisions. Trusting your intuition is not the same as acting hastily. Following your heart is not the same as always doing what feels right to you. Your initial impulse and your intuition are not the same thing.

Empathy takes time. Seeing things from another persons’ perspective and really getting in their head takes time. It takes time to look and be thorough.

From: My Spirit Guides

Often being a peacemaker means getting involved, listening to people, talking things out and working to help them see alternate points of view. It takes intelligence and creativity to help people find common ground. It is not always easy to help people to find a satisfying compromise.

Being a peacemaker is not always very peaceful.

The reason that most people are not particularly good at working together is because this is actually a fairly demanding skill. As a species your social skills are not as highly evolved and developed as you would perhaps like. It is much harder for people who have their own intelligence, opinions and point of view to work together than it is for a hive of bees who have little ego to speak of.

It takes time and effort to develop this skill and most people underestimate its value. It can be difficult to convince people of the need to go against their own wishes for the good of the community. It can be difficult to convince those who are passionately dedicated to a cause to really listen to the other side of things. It is very easy to criticize and condemn and this often seems like the right way to win an argument and get others on your side.

The instinctual response of yelling and pushing until you get your way is so deeply ingrained that even when you are consciously focused on remaining calm it is not easy. Sometimes even those who have dedicated their lives to cultivating love and compassion have difficulty controlling their tempers.

As you look at the world you may become frustrated at those who are not as compassionate, understanding, gentle and forgiving as you feel that they should be. This is understandable, but is itself a sign of your own need to continue to grow. Recognize just how much effort you have poured into cultivating compassion over the years and that it is foolish to expect others to always do the same. Recognize that condemning others for their lack of humility is itself a sign that you need more humility.

And remember to forgive yourself your lack of humility even as you work to develop it.

From: God

When you wonder what to do in the face of the evils you see in the world you need to seek Me.

Remember Me.

Call on Me.

Your heart has great capacity for good in the world. You have great capacity to change the world for the better. You can indeed make a difference today.

Call on Me when you ache for the sake of another. Call on Me when you want to help. Call on Me and connect with My Light. Ask Me to help. Your prayers matter. Sometimes I will guide you to take action. Sometimes you simply connect to My Light and act as a conduit bringing more healing energy into the world. You may not see the results in the physical, but when you call on Me it does great good. It matters.

It doesn’t matter if you see.

It doesn’t even really matter if you believe. So long as you call on Me and give Me the benefit of the doubt We connect and My Energy can flow through you.

Why not give it a chance?

In time if you call on Me regularly you will begin to see evidence. You will see people blessed by Me. You will see My Hand at work in the world. You will see My Hand at work in your own life.
