Today's message is about patience and perseverance, which is a part of living and maturing the human personality.   You have heard it said that, all good things come to those who wait.  There is much wisdom in that statement, and there is also much truth there when it is associated with spiritual gifts, selfless longings, and personal goals.  Waiting on divine timing and on providence demonstrates the ability of the soul to endure hardships and to grow weightier through increased faith—the hope in things unseen.  For it is through patience and perseverance, the byproducts of faith, that the soul, the mind, and the human heart transcends the limitations of third density and becomes a sprouting seed—the vine through which divinity can express itself and co-create.

Sometimes it is necessary to pull up ones bootstraps and go the extra mile without the thought of what's in it for me.  It is the selfless acts of kindness and love for ones fellows that will bring about the movement of spirit in your lives.  Living day by day, and in the moment without thought of how others should do unto you is the greatest testament for a soul that is living patiently and allowing the providence of spirit to flow into ones life.

The greatest joys in life come unexpectedly, especially when the soul recognizes the hand of spirit moving to fulfill some selfless longing or to bring about the change needed to let go of some reoccurring wound.  The realization of a life lesson learned that helps you to grow spiritually is often the greatest gift of perseverance and patience.

Letting go of the perceived need of something, that to you, is a link-pin or an ultimate goal that continually eludes you is a way of allowing spirit to come in and show you the way.  This allowing is telling spirit that you are open to all options and possibilities and that you place no limits on the outcome.  This is the surest way to achieve success and to have your greatest expectations exceeded.

Patience and perseverance is the key to letting go and letting God.  Trust, faith, and moving in the direction of a goal without expectations allows the universe to work for you.  Go with the flow today, my friends, and watch the hand of providence move.  Plot your course and keep a steady hand on the wheel, and God will surely deliver you to the shores of your dreams.

Peace to you,
