God said:

If you can use upliftment today, find some.

If you cannot think of something new to inspire you, think of something that inspired you in the past, and, meanwhile, stay open to something new. What books have inspired you? What movies have uplifted you? What people have believed in you?

Ah, you may fear they won't inspire you now. It is possible that what inspired you once, will pull its blinds down now.

If you haven't been looking for inspiration, what have you been looking for?

There is inspiration for you to find. Get it.

If you can use a lift, rise to it. Walk right up to Life and say: "Inspire me. Inspire me right now." Ask Life to throw inspiration at you. Ask Me to raise your spirits.

What are you doing with your days when your heart lags? Don't just sit there and bemoan how you feel. Get off the couch.

Going out in nature is always good. In any case, look for inspiration, and it will pop up. Be open for it. For inspiration, by all means, say, "Gimme, gimme." Attract it by keeping your eyes open.

See whom you can inspire. Give an inspiring word. Give that which you seek. Not false cheer, you understand, yet hold up your shoulders.

Remember that you bask under the Sun.

Be the Sun. At the least, reflect the Sun.

The world has enough clouds imposed on it. Be sunny, not gray.

When challenging situations present themselves, remember your compassion for everyone involved. You cannot “throw a negative stone” without it affecting the mass consciousness, however, it is up to you to add love to the mix.  The ripples of love will spread farther and continue longer than any of you will be alive.  Stay centered in your heart and know that positive change and thoughts can come from less than pleasant events. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, you are about to step forward into a year of creation after a year of completion. Are you ready to wrap up your completion? Are you truly ready to let the old cycle go and embrace the new?

Stepping out of completion into creation is much like wrapping up your higher education in school. You work hard towards the future goal of achieving a certain level of attainment. But eventually you will have moved through and absorbed all that particular learning phase has to offer. It will be time to leave the familiarity of school and step forth into the world in your new expression of self. At some point you must let the old phase go and transition into the new phase of creation. At some point you must move beyond the learning and step into the being.

That is where you are at, as you are poised to lock in your progress with the solstice (your graduation ceremony of 2016, if you will), and step forward into your next grand expression of self in 2017. You are ready. You have done the work. How will you choose to create and contribute in the fresh energies of a brand new year? ~Archangel Gabriel

Beloveds, those of you who feel discontent, let Me ask you what wonders have I not performed? What wonders are there that I cannot perform? Perform is not the right word. I am not a performing artist. I am certainly not a trained seal who must do your bidding, yet you are asked to have Trust in Me.

You wonder what trust in Me means. It does not seem to mean I give you everything and anything you want. You know you play a part in success, yet sometimes you are at a loss, and sometimes you despair. What is it you are missing? Is Faith more long-ranged than Trust?

What is there that I cannot do? What cannot I give? Now We come to what seems to be the rub. What does it really mean that I am here for you?

You see that My Will may not be in line with yours. There is a from your side. We are not exactly at odds yet somehow not exactly in line. Oh, woe, from your side, for too often you do not see why even half your desires do not seem to be fulfilled as yet.

You often ask yourself why someone quite like you has wealth while you struggle? Someone seems to have love without end while you seem to be stranded on a deserted island called Earth. Why?

Why are some people so talented? Why do you seem to be lacking, if not in ability, then in drive and ambition? You wonder, after all, what exactly your difficulty is.

Why are some people so smart and up to the minute whereas you too often seem to be the last to know and left out of an inner circle?

Many of you have an inner fear of your dreams coming true. It feels safer to keep your dreams off in the future, as a potential for one day. This can be because of a fear of success and a fear of failure.

Fear of success can occur for many reasons. Perhaps you think it would change you or your relationship with others too much. Perhaps you are simply afraid of the unknown. Maybe it feels like if you have your dream come true you will have nothing else to live for.

Fear of failure can be just as stalling. You feel if you fail you will be judged, or you are trying to avoid your own self judgement. You are afraid if your dream doesn’t work out you will have nothing left to live for. You are afraid of being a disappointment to others and yourself.

Dear Ones, surprisingly, the fear of success and the fear of failure are born from the same root – not trusting the unfoldment and placing too much value in the result and not enough in the experience. Hear us when we say you are completely capable to both succeed and to fail and neither is better than the other. The true value your soul is seeking is experience, and the further definition and clarity it provides.

Experience is how you are able to continue to shape and form your life expression. It is through the trying that you find your next great adventure, your next perfect match, your next joyful expression of self. It is how you allow your soul to expand and grow, which allows you to embody the very nature of the universe.
