To you, I give thanks. I give thanks to you from the bottom of My Heart. Beloved, always know with assurance how much you mean to Me and all the Waves and Waves of Love just the thought of you gives to me. I know your love. I feel it. Do you feel My love, too, as it radiates through you?

Every night I put you to sleep. Every morning, I wake you up. Do you feel My Presence in your life? Be sure to know that I am attentive to you. I do not ask you to sacrifice. I do not believe in sacrifice. I believe in Joy. I ask you to enjoy. Joy isn’t a sacrifice. Definitely, stay away from sacrifice. I don’t want it. I seek your Joy. I want nothing less than your Joy.

As quiet as it may seem, there is much going on behind the scenes.  You may be compelled to move things along, to push through the ‘slow burn’ that is going on now because you are anxious for the next great leap forward.  The Universe would like to remind you…events will and are happening for a reason, at the perfect moment for the perfect outcome.  As challenging as it may be, allow Divine Timing to take the lead; the outcome will be exactly what is intended. ~ Creator

Beloved, My Beloved, do not honor force. Never do I honor meanness and cruelty and under the guise that they are worthy. Meanness means smallness. Why would goodness and mercy be sought after in the world you live in unless there were cruelty to counteract?

Without force, there would be no insisted-upon abdication from what another person happens to believe.

Another’s Truth would be freely allowed to be his Truth or as long as it feels right to him. No one’s Truth would be besmirched. Everyone would merit all-merciful freedom to see as he sees and embrace the peace from which he wishes to grow regardless of what any other thinks one way or another. I state firmly that I am not in favor of force to any degree in the guise of virtue. Of course, I gave Free Will, and I gave and still give it to all. And what I give is not to be stepped on. Let there be love. Love and freedom go hand in hand. No one is to forbid another to see as he sees.

Many of you who are on your enlightenment journey feel you need a partner who is spiritual. Let us tell you this is not always the case.

There are a great many souls on the planet who do not practice spirituality but who do embody the traits spirituality helps foster and grow – love, compassion, empathy, truth, and transparency. The greatest indicator of soul attainment is not necessarily spiritual practice, but rather the person’s level of integrity and the embodiment of those higher traits.

Having a partner who is not necessarily spiritual can be of great assistance to you and your journey. They have the job of anchoring physical presence. This, combined with your spiritual presence, creates balance within the whole of the relationship. In many cases, the non-spiritual partner was the more spiritual one in other life expressions with you. It may be that this time around they are stepping back from that role in order to allow you the opportunity to take the lead.

When you are looking at your potential partners it is wise to look at how they contribute to the balance of the whole, and if they embody the traits you admire and respect. Kindness, love, acceptance, and support are the essence of what you really seek, and that can show up for you in many, many forms. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

Shelley’s note: As I’m on the move again there will be no daily messages for the next couple of days. They’ll resume as usual Monday April 9th. Have a great weekend! :)

Upon introspection, you may feel that your past will hinder your growth during this important time.  The old stuff coming up is a harsh reminder of all your ‘woulda, coulda, shoulda” moments; the times when you had the chance to change and did not, the hurts knowingly inflicted and the bitter, ragged edges of you.

Once again, this is a gentle guiding push to come to terms with, acknowledge, honor and release your transgressions.  Without them, you would not know what you know now, and you would not have the wisdom or awareness necessary for the growth that is in process.  Be kind and gentle with yourself; this is the truest first step to learning and forward movement. ~ Creator

What does anything mean? The weather has a meaning, yet what is its meaning and what does it mean to you when all is said and done and what for?
