When things are difficult and times are hard and you feel like darkness is closing in around you, look for the light. For my light is always shining. The darkness cannot overcome it. Look for my light. Fix your eyes on my light. Follow my light. For light shines in the darkness and it dispels shadows and fears. My light shines in the darkness and it lights The Way. My light shines in the darkness and it brings hope. Look for my light and let your hope be renewed today.
And the Holy Spirit says:
Do not fall into despair. Do not let hopelessness swallow you. There is always hope. Fix your eyes on God and he will show you the light. He will renew your heart with hope. For all is not lost. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it. Look for the light today.

When you stand upon the Earth and you look up into the sky, you can see birds flying. If you look a little higher, you will see birds of prey soaring. Their wings are out, but they are not flapping. These birds are riding a current of wind. When these birds ride a current of wind, they are not working hard. They are allowing the wind to carry them where they want to go. You can be like the bird of prey. You can soar on the current of the wind. For this is what it means when you say, “Let another’s strength be your strength.” It means that you do not need to do all the work yourself. Rather, you can rely on the strength of another. This is what I do for you. Allow me to be your strength. Allow me to be that current of wind that carries you through each and every day, each and every situation that you face. When you rely on me, on my strength, on my provision, then you are like the bird of prey soaring on the wind and you will find that you have the energy and the strength for everything that comes your way.
And the Holy Spirit says:
Let the strength of God be your strength. Let the wisdom of God be your wisdom. Let the knowledge of God be our knowledge. Let the understanding of God by your understanding. Let the power of God be your power. For you carry all these within you for I AM within you. Therefore, you have access to all of God through me. Rest in this knowledge today and be carried on the winds of God and soar.

When you wake in the morning, you greet those you see with the words “Good Morning”. I wish to be included in your greetings in the mornings. I wish for you to say “Good Morning” to me when you wake up—to acknowledge my presence, to take note that I am there with you. By saying “Good Morning” you are inviting me into your day. I greet you each morning. I greet you with my love, with my acceptance. When you take a moment to greet me, to say “Good Morning God”, you are walking into my presence and into my love that will accompany you throughout your day.
And the Holy Spirit says:
Each morning I wait for you to notice me, to acknowledge me. For when you acknowledge me, then I can help you face anything that the day brings. I can give you the strength, the wisdom, the knowledge, the understanding that you need for each situation that is in your day. I encourage you to greet me each morning and then notice what a difference this makes in your day.

Do not lament the past. Do not fear what the future will bring. Live in the present, and dance, and sing, and be joyful. It is not necessary for you to labor under the burden of shame, or guilt, or anger, or frustration, about things of the past. Forgive, all things, and begin to see that, which happened in the past, as the valuable lesson it is, and bring it forward. Do not labor under guilt, and shame, and anger, and frustration. Work, carrying The Book of Lessons, which you are creating, as you walk upon the Earth, and know your lessons, as only you can know them, because you have lived your lessons. And as for today, do what is to be done, today, carrying The Book of Wisdom, that you are writing, with the lessons you have learned. This is how you prepare for the future. You do not prepare for the future with fear, and doubt, and anxiety. You prepare for the future, holding your Book of Wisdom, the book of your lessons, and doing what is to be done, today, without procrastination, or hesitation. Take care of today. That is how you prepare for the future, holding your lessons close, and dear, and doing what comes to you, what is near to you, to be done. In that way, you are ready. No matter what comes, you have your lessons, and what needed to be done, was done.
And The Holy Spirit says:
When you do what has been brought to you to do, then you live a life that is joyful, because you do not have the undone, hanging upon your shoulders. Procrastination, hesitation, can be overcome, by simply doing what needs to be done.

There is much that you can learn, and see, from an icicle, hanging from a roof. Icicle has come forth, from the snow, which once feel softly, from the clouds, down upon Earth, coming to rest, and then stack-up, on a rooftop. The snow, the beautiful snowflakes, came forth from the water, the rainwater, in the clouds, and atmosphere. The melting ice, on the rooftop, will slowly form icicles, responding to the environment, when warmer, melting, dripping, creating a longer icicle, as it freezes, again, responding to the environment. But on a grey day, observing this frozen icicle, it almost looks forbidding, alone. But then, comes the light of the sun. And the light of the sun catches the icicle, and it is transformed into brilliance, revealing that, which was not seen, before the light. It seems as if it is dancing with colors, from within, brilliant, iridescent colors of pinks, and greens, and blues. And then, as the light of the sun holds this icicle, in all its brilliance, you notice, at the bottom tip, a drop of water, releases, and falls, to the ground. Water, again. Ponder this today. There is a story, or two, held in the falling snow, the icicle, the light, and you.
And The Holy Spirit says:
Responding to environment is important to wellbeing, and comfort. So, when it is warm, you do not wear sweaters, and hats, and gloves. And when it is cold, you do not run outside barefoot, in shorts, and light shirts. You know enough to respond, to your environment, to the atmosphere, around you. This is how it is as you move through your eternal lifetime. You instinctively know, how to adapt to the environment, the atmosphere around you.

“I AM with you. And I celebrate that I AM with you, today. Each time we meet, it is a meeting of love, of joy, of serious speaking, and exchanging, of delightful laughter. It is so, because we are sharing, all the emotions. I touch you, with My love, and you respond, in an open way. And that is how we can spend the day, walking, talking, laughing, and dancing, because we know, we are one.
“As you spend your days, upon the Earth, it does not take very long for you to learn, and in the learning, you adjust to your environment, to the atmosphere, around you. And that is why the choice of your environment is important to you. The atmosphere, around you, can be a source of growth, of learning, when it is an atmosphere of light, when it is an atmosphere of understanding, and compassion. In such a beautiful environment all things thrive, children, yes, adults, yes; but if you will notice, this environment, of positive energy, impacts the plant life, it impacts the dog, that you choose as a friend, the cat, that rests on the sofa, in your house. It has an impact on everything. And when it is reverse, when the atmosphere is cruel, and harsh, and mean, there too, is an impact, of a negative form. The dog, the cat, the child, the adult, the plants, they draw-in, and begin to wither. So, choose your environment, making sure the atmosphere, around you, is life giving, supporting, sustaining, so that you do not starve, and wither.
“In the light there is a richness, which fills you, with nourishment, and that which you need, to grow. When you are deprived of the light, it alters your emotion, and your physical body. And this is the same with your spiritual body. When you are living in The Light of God, your spiritual body is fulfilled, and your physical body responds to the fulfillment of the spirit. When you choose to turn away from The Light of God; or, in some other capacity, are deprived of, The Light of God: you wither, you shrink, you are not fed, and fulfilled, you live in fear, and dread. Choose your atmosphere. Choose the environment in which you live, because you will adapt to the environment, and you will adapt to the atmosphere, matching it, as closely, as you can, so you live there, comfortably.
“We do not often choose, to fight the atmosphere, or fight the environment. We adapt, to the atmosphere, and adapt to the environment. Choose wisely. Choose life. Choose to be filled, and nurtured, and loved, and held. Turn from the darkness and shadow, and choose The Light, where you will forever be in The Living Waters of God’s Grace.”

Use the gifts you have been given. Most of you have set your gifts on a shelf, with very little thought of the gifts you have been given. Do not make the time, you are spending upon the Earth, a time when you do what others think you should do. Do not be hesitant, or afraid, to stand-up, and say, “I have been given this gift, by God. And, I have been given this gift, by God, to use, during my time upon the Earth. Therefore, I choose to follow the path, using my gifts, to make my way.” Many will not understand what you say. Some will outwardly disagree, with what you say. Still, at the end of the day, it is yours to do, and the gifts are yours, and they are yours to use, so you might not fail, so that you might succeed, and return Home victorious.
And The Holy Spirit says:
You might not receive much encouragement, to use your spiritual gifts, from those around you: friends, family, peers, and authority. But God encourages you to use your gifts. I encourage you to use your gifts, because, when you use your gifts, you are practicing. And the more you practice using your gifts, the better you will become, at using your gifts. Maintain a spiritual practice, that keeps you connected, with Home Base, with God. I dwell within you, to guide you, to counsel you. I counsel you, to use the gifts, you have been given, so that you might shine, in The Glory of God, so that your years, upon Earth, are not wasted, but used, and used well, for The Glory of God.
