God said:

It is a worthy idea for you to desire peace and leave happiness to arrive on its own accord. That is, without effort, or great effort. Have I suggested this to you before?

With effort, you may struggle to unstring yourself and unbind happiness from a net you might have cast to imprison it?

You could be so intent on being happy that it is as though happiness is a debt owed to you, so much so that you perhaps scare off happiness, as though happiness becomes an assignment, something obligatory, and perhaps you resent Life that let you down, and/or you are dissatisfied with yourself for not achieving a desired result.

When you try to force happiness, you are also forcing yourself. I don't think happiness has the capability to come to you by force. If, by deserving happiness, you mean that happiness HAS to come and stay with you, you are detaching yourself from happiness. No matter how worthy you are, happiness does not owe you a red cent. Happiness cannot be squeezed or blackmailed or extorted from life for you. Happiness chooses to come to you, and you are to choose it.

It would seem that happiness is not something achieved. Happiness and its counterpart, unhappiness, are on a scale, and it's unlikely you are to associate your value according to how you rate on your happiness scale. When Life rewards you, you are happy. When Life doesn't reward you as you as you wish it would, you may feel that Life is punishing you, and you become unhappy and sad and full of disappointment.

It is time to reestablish the human connection.  So many of you walk through your Earth plane existence tethered and tied to inanimate objects, searching for meaning and missing pieces of yourselves in small screens.  Yes, it is a wonderful tool and helps you learn and see more than ever before, however, it also cuts you off from ‘real time’.  Today, you are invited to be in and experience your life!  Lift up your heads and see!  If not now, when? ~ Creator

Dear Ones, when you feel the energies strongly it is a gift because it allows you to have more tangible proof that you are indeed shifting and evolving. It is wonderful in the sense that it shows you that you truly changing, from your own efforts and evolution, and also with profound universal assistance. The shift becomes more than a concept – you start to feel that there is a bigger process going on that you are an integral part of, and that you are being helped and adjusted through it.

When you start to acknowledge the profound purpose of it all, you become much more accepting and start to move with the energies with far greater ease than ever before. You allow yourself to see that you are beloved, included, and assisted, and become a willing dance partner with the universe, which makes the entire process so much more magical and glorious. ~Archangel Gabriel

These are interesting times!  Humanity is moving very positively into awareness of its spiritual heritage, of its Oneness with Source from which it has never for a moment been separated.  And that is inspiring, uplifting, and extremely exciting!  In fact humanity is most definitely established on the collective path to awakening, although, of course, each individual has his or her own personal path that is different from everyone else’; no two are the same among the many billions presently incarnate on Earth.

Here in the spiritual realms, where we constantly watch over you lovingly and compassionately, we are truly in awe at what you are achieving.  You have made the collective decision to awaken from the dream or nightmare and you are most positively implementing it.  Great changes are in the process of transforming your attitudes toward each other and God.  Love now pervades the Earth plane and is penetrating every heart that has not made a conscious choice to block It or lock It out.

*Note* – This writing is very personal for me and one of the very first ones I received. I was told it was time to share…..so here it is.
If you choose to be someone’s rock, be sure they do not use
you as a step to get to something they perceive as better. ~ Creator
