Let each of us take a close look deep into the eyes of the people who came before us this day. Each person who appears to you today has been sent to you by the Universal Creator. Each person has been sent, both as a gift and an opportunity, to extend the love you already possess within.

You possess, right now, the ability to emotionally heal and empower those around you in the very life situation you find yourself in. My legs dangle, my body is demolished. What is required to empower the world around you? If you eavesdrop on me, I am not dismantled to God. Try to discern primarily. There is a creative force that is greater than your abilities and current level of experience. As we begin to acknowledge the presence of this force in our lives and give it a place of honor and faith, it will make itself known to us. People will begin to be attracted to this empowering force, which you have given acknowledgment to within yourself. Give, and you shall receive.

Do not allow the voice of fear in its many forms, to tell you that you are less than a child of our Creator. Your heritage is very simply Divine—Holy, and we each have a responsibility to accept this truth and begin to unfold it right where we are today. Your jobs are simply to accept this force. There is no capture. It is with you this moment, as your foundation and begin to let it draw to you, the people and resources, the ideas and courage to move forward. You must begin now to turn your face from fear and trust in something larger than yourself. Much like water, it (this power within you), has no fear and will find a way around every obstacle.

Thus far we have trusted in many things, which have brought us little or no rewards. Is this not true? So, look at the stars tonight and know that our mutual Creator is that which can create the things we cannot and lean to it in faith and action. Take a chance on that which is eternal and always willing to guide you if you open and believe. Open, have faith this power walks with you and within you and wants to unfold through you. It is time now to give this power a larger place in your life and eventually to surrender to the great good that is planned for your life. Your brother and sisters who walk into your life were sent to you. Give them the power of your kind thoughts, smile, and your helping hand. You will begin to attract increasingly of the universal power to your life. Do not cower in illness from our power. Let us detect what illumines and catch our children and friends taking peeks of our holiness. It will intensify even as we hobble or plop paralyzed launch. You can block the kick of life events and revitalize.

As a friend, I wish to challenge you with a task that will prove you were created to be a channel for good. Wherever you go this week, in the car, shopping, the gym, by wheelchair or walker, anywhere, and as your attention falls on someone silently bless that person’s soul. Authenticate them with focus. “My holy self-sends light to your holy self.” That is all. Do not focus on any external feature, their mood, dress, situation, etc. Only use the light you have to acknowledge the light beyond appearances in this individual. Do it (in secret) for several days every chance, even at a red light for the person ahead of you. Your vibration, frequency, and energy will change and do not be at all surprised if that individual turns or smiles. Do not, however, wait on a result that is ego-wishing to be patted on the back. Use the light you have. More will be given. If you choose not to use it and know how to use your innate power, that is very sad. To know and not do is sad. It is so simple, and you are about to find where God’s light shows up in a person called you. We are a broadcast. Amplify holy eternal energies.
