I didn't place you in that situation to punish you or to teach you, but to show you you, the

contrast. Now you know what you are not, who you are not, what you do not want. You recognized

your light. You recognized that you are light, that you are robed in light, robed in fire. I placed you in the dark so you could

see yourself, so you could see me. Would you have sought me? Would you have looked for me if you

weren't looking for relief for peace? The peace you know is promised. You knew it was promised and you knew you weren't experiencing it.

But now you are more and more. More and more you hear this voice which does not come to preach.

I tell you over and over that I do not come to teach. This voice ministers. It is love. It comes from love and it holds you in love until you

realize you are. That the flame you are is love. That flame is love. That stirring. You've been

called. You've been sent. You've showed up. And you will be tired. Most days you will feel weary. You will want to quit,

but you can't. You can't quit. You can't stop. You have no idea how close you are.

How close I am. I'm so close to you. There's no separation. Where you stand right now. How you are right now. You cannot be defeated. I love you.
