Don't Panic, Just Float... An Angel Message


Sometimes it may seem as though one is hopelessly entangled in a great many false beliefs:  fear, sickness, guilt, and discouragement are binding.  Freedom seems to avail itself to everyone else, and struggle as he may, it eludes him completely.  

Recently a helpful story illustrated this point. Two friends had gone swimming in the ocean.  When a considerable distance from the beach, one became enmeshed in seaweed that severely hampered his ability to move.  So entangled did he become that he feared for his life.  He struggled with the weed to kick it from him, desperately trying to free himself, but to no avail.  The harder he fought, the more determined did it cling around him.  Becoming fearful, he shouted to his companion for help.  His friend advised him to stop struggling and stay calm, to just float, letting the waves carry away the obstruction.  He tried this plan and found that it worked, for quite soon all the seaweed had washed away.

This experience reminded me of how often fear tempts us to become more and more involved in difficulties.  How fear urges us to fight, wrestle and wrangle...only to find we become even more entangled in false, erroneous beliefs.  Tired and discouraged, at last the divinely inspired angel message comes:  "Wait patiently for divine Love to move upon the waters of mortal mind and form the perfect concept.  Patience must have her perfect work." 
 
Floating in a sea of confidence and faith, the pure flow of God's infinite love washes away whatever had us in a grip.  God is the director of our life... we can relax...float in the truth of divinity.  Divine Love will always make a way. God is Love.

Love and peace,

Rae Karen
