Forever.

Once you realize that this life is only one minuscule step into a glorious eternal journey Heavenward, it makes your life far more interesting. This is an everlasting Truth, and worthy of thoughtful consideration.

How is it that your myriad friends, the countless that have even now passed over into a new life, can assist you in the mortal estate?

By realizing this is so, you learn to place a greater value on the life you are living now, and your departed siblings become more precious to you.

Rather than mourning their passing, you can now celebrate their life, and anticipate a glad reunion in the next life, your next phase in an eternal existence.

For truly you are all children of an immensely wealthy Father/Mother/Creator.

By now, you realize that each person, celestial and human, are all offspring of the One Creator, your immediate relatives, and yet, when you live in denial of My existence within you, and fail to recognize the Master's Hand behind Creation, you live indeed in spiritual poverty, and the darkness of loneliness.

Whereas, when you daily built your trust and faith in Me - a Fragment of the Universal God - your life will enter a time of greater spiritual abundance.

Think of how life goes on each year, in trees and flowers. It is the Breath of the Eternal that gives them life, each according to their own pattern and design.

Should He not have your life in His Hands, also? Even when it is time to exchange your mortal temple for a more ‘etheric’ one?

The material body surely dies.

I am your Master Hand to guide you with the cultivation of your mind, to weed out any and all negative thoughts, and judgments about self and others.

A greater consciousness needs to awaken in you, for you to become aware of your own reactions to words and actions of self and others. For you to become more thoughtful in your speech, since the tongue is often the most unruly member to be kept under control.

I really would that you pay attention to this, as the cultivation of self is the most important aspect to be undertaken in life; the digging up, the uprooting of negativity, and the planting of good thoughts, is your responsibility.

And I shall guide you with My Master Hand.

And so together we shall plant us a fragrant, pleasant, and fruitful garden.

Just tend to your own garden. Only when you have your own weeds under control will you be given additional work.

You are only a tender little one, and I will never overload you, but I will give you strong winds and storms, so your root system in Me will grow stronger and deeper, as you seek My nourishment so deep down within yourself.

We are growing us a unique garden, filled with fragrant blooms and fruits to the Glory of the One,

Dear one, it is in your learning to trust Me more that you will experience true freedom, as your burdens will be lifted, you will let go of all your yesterdays, and you will let Me be the Guide in your life.

Of course, you will always make your own decisions, but now you have the choice of doing this ‘more knowingly,’ by asking Me first which might be the best choice to make. And, of course, the best decision will be for the greatest good of all.

For a better understanding: I shall always remain in the background, until you mature to the point where you will begin to realize that you would prefer to walk with Me, rather than travel alone.

But I need to warn you that we do not walk a path of ease seeking. It will be a path filled with opportunities to learn a great deal, where you will gather much wisdom, and, My beloved, where you will always have access to My Unconditional Love, when you feel that you have none left to give away.

I truly desire to saturate you with My Love, so it can become a habit for you to give, give, give love unreservedly. And in time, your judgments of others will cease to form in your mind, as you accept each brother and sister you meet as part of yourself in the Great Creator God.
