God said:

Tender is the Heart of God.

And, yet, some of My children, from time to time, or all their lives, see Me as an ogre who seems to get in their way.

It is good to remember that I am on your side, as if there are sides. There is no advantage to you or anyone in carrying the idea that I am opposed to you.

Life is not always an easy ride. This is no secret. Perhaps you have pounced on the difficulties you experience to the exclusion of your blessings.

I know what you feel and how you feel. It is the hardest thing of all in your reckoning to lose a child. I am well aware of the pain this creates. I do not fluff it off, dear ones. I am not hard-hearted when I must say that you hurt your own heart.

If you held your child in your arms for one year, or twenty, or fifty, will you not be glad for the days and years granted you? The alternative might be that you never birthed your flown-away child. Is this what you would choose? I don’t think so.

There is great pain experienced on the Earth. Everyone knows that. Do you think I do not know?

I do not set out to hurt you. Death may seem like the worst thing on Earth to you. This idea comes at your expense because, dear ones, you see death as an enemy. This is a mistake of the intellect.

You cannot believe that such a blow as losing a beloved one could happen to you. You would prevent or remove death from the face of the Earth if you could. You would wipe out death so that no one would suffer.

In junior high school, I was a painfully shy student. It was to the point I would go through an entire week without peeping a single sound. While it was quite easy to shield my anxiety during most classroom activity, the lunchroom was always my greatest test. How could I possibly hide myself in a crowded cafeteria?

There was always one table in the back of the room which only had about five kids sitting there (the tables sat about 20-30 people). With so many empty seats at the table, it was the perfect spot for someone with severe, debilitating social anxiety. This group was the outcasts of the school. They wore the same clothes every day, never paid attention in class, didn’t follow the rules, had long straggly hair, and were already experimenting with drugs and alcohol. But, they were also different in the sense that they had no desire to fit in with the “cool kids.” They were perfectly content being in their own skin.

The average American spends 90 percent of their time indoors. While people are aware of the health risk caused by outdoor air pollution, few may consider that indoor air quality can also have a negative impact on their health. According to the EPA levels of indoor air pollutants can be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor pollution levels. In fact indoor air pollutants are ranked among the top five environmental risks to public health.

Since we spend so much time indoors it is important to create a healthy, toxin-free indoor environment that is safe for everyone. Here is a list of toxic products you may like to consider banning from your home, plus some healthier alternatives to help you do it.

Toxic Products to Ban From Your Home

Can you receive love? When someone tells you they love you, do you brush it off or do you really allow yourself to open up and feel it? Have you ever just let yourself sit and receive the love we have for you? To truly feel it?

We ask you to stop and really examine your ability to receive love, because it will show you exactly how much you are able to receive in general. Many of you are very comfortable with giving, but not so much with receiving.

One of the most powerful ways you can transform your life is to train yourself to truly be open and receive. We highly recommend you take the time to sit quietly and simply accept the love of Source. Allow it to wash over you, to fill your vessel, to heal you, to reassure you, to soothe you, to inspire you, to overflow from you.

When someone tells you they love you, consciously feel that love! Receive it, treasure it, allow yourself to feel every molecule of it. By doing so you will become more and more comfortable with receiving, with dancing with the flow of the universe, and embracing the never ending abundance that is available to you, radiating love joyfully like never before. ~Archangel Gabriel

You may feel you have an ordinary life.  You move through your ordinary day, go to your ordinary job, see your ordinary friends and family and go home to your ordinary residence.  But, in the course of what you feel is an ordinary existence, something magical is happening….
As you move through your day, you smile has lighted the way for someone ‘just not feeling it’.  As you are working, you have done something that has changed to course of your life.  When you visit with your friends or family, your communication may have moved them to become a better person.  When you walk through the door of your home, your presence has filled the space with a peaceful and loving feeling that does not exist anywhere else in the world.
You may feel ‘just ordinary’, but you are far from it.  Just being who you are makes your Earth plane extraordinary. ~ Creator

God said:

When does Silence come? When you listen for it, Silence will bless you. Silence will steal your heart. The Silence that cannot be heard will fill your ears. The Silence will fill your whole bloodstream. The Silence will be Home to you. Your heart will be compelled by it.

Compelled to what? Your heart will be compelled to give way to this Silence. The Silence simply overtakes, and you know Oneness. It is overflowing. It takes your residue of smallness and fills you to the brim with Oneness. You do not think Oneness. You ARE Oneness.

This Silence is like a flute from which all notes come. The Silence We speak of is music that overcomes you. All that you thought you were disappears. You hear nothing but Myself. You are nothing but Myself. You are truly out of this world of right or wrong, good or bad. You are out of this world. There are no questions. There is Essence, and you are the Essence. There is nothing but you – the you that is I, that is.

You are at the Source. You are the Source. You are what you have been seeking all along. You no longer seek that which is at your disposal because now you know wherein I reside. The Source, your True Self, has always been at your disposal. It isn’t that you are an alchemist who can turn tin into gold. Tin never was. Gold never went away.

Diamonds are diamonds whether you are aware they are diamonds or not.
