“I AM with you.  Knowing this brings you confidence, and comfort.  I AM with you.  I walk with you.  And, if you choose, I will talk with you.  And, if you choose, I will show you The Way.  Come, I will show you The Way, today.                        

“You see confidence, and courage, and power, that comes from confidence, and courage, many times a day.  If you are a child of school age, you see this confidence growing, in your peers, as they know how to add, how to subtract, how to read, where certain countries are, on the map.  And, with the learning, with the knowing, comes not only the responsibility of doing, what you have learned, but there comes courage, and confidence.  And, with this growing, in facts, and figures, and words, there comes a power, that you know these things, and no one can take it from you.  As you grow, and mature, you see it in individuals, around you.  When they know something, they are confident, and this confidence brings them courage to do things that other people cannot do, because they do not have the knowing.

      “When you are in a relationship, any kind of relationship, with another person, or people, that relationship is deeper, and stronger, as you grow in confidence, that your love, and admiration, and respect, is reciprocated.  And, in that relationship, those that are in the relationship grow in confidence, encouraged by the support of those in the relationship, to do, all that they can do, without hesitation, without limitation.  When you see a child, running across a playground, they often look back to see, and to make sure, that a parent is close by.  And when they look, and see, the parent is close by, they continue their journey, their experience of Earth by swinging a bit higher, climbing a bit higher, joining groups of other children playing, with confidence that, that parent is close by.  There is confidence, and courage, which yield power, when you know who you are, and what you are doing.  And this is good.  In your life upon Earth, this is good, because when you have that confidence, and courage, from knowing, who you are, you accomplish much.  There is little fear, because you know who you are, and what you are doing.  That is simply said, simply put.

      “Now, take another step to the realization of not only living in the present, but living in the present piece of eternity, that is your eternal life.  Know you are God’s child.  Know where you came from.  Know you have a mission.  And know you have been given all you need to accomplish your mission, upon Earth.  Whatever is set before you, you are prepared to do it.  It would not be with you, if you could not do it.  Therefore, go into this day, confident in who you are, physically, in the present piece of eternity, but also knowing who you are, eternally, taking that knowing, which will give you confidence, and courage, which will then yield the power you need to do all that is asked of you, and even more.  You have heard it said, by Me, ‘You can do all that I AM doing, and even greater things.’  But first, you must live the knowing of who you are.  You are a child of God.  Do not deny it.  Do not limit it.  Live it.”
