DO NOT BE AFRAID

DO NOT BE AFRAID
May 15th, 2003

Oh, My beloved child,
Be not afraid
Though night streams forth
And seems to wrap
Its inky hands
Around your eyes.

Be not afraid,
My precious one,
For I Am here
To dry your tears
And hold you
As you cry.

I cradle you
In loving arms.
I sing to you
A lullaby
Of hope
And hidden joy
In your tomorrows.

I love you more
Than any human mother
Loves the child she holds
Tightly to her breast
To protect her
From the pain
And from the darkness.

I love you more
Than any human father
Loves his son
In whom he sees himself
Living all his dreams
Of life's perfection.

Oh, certainly I am the one
To keep you safe
As shadows fall
And dance around
Beside you
In the dark.

I cradle you in
A bassinette of angel wings.
I touch your cheek
In aching tenderness
And I sing to you
A soft refrain of Love.

How gently I am
Holding you
In an intimate
Embrace,
And whispering,
As I dry your tears,
That you are a child of grace.

That I have woven for you
A blanket
Of golden threads
And I rock you
Beneath a canopy
Of stars.

Stars whose map
Is echoed in your body
And whose clear
Bright light
Is seen within
Your eyes.

I promise you
That I will turn
Each tear into
A diamond
And every sob
Into a sigh
Of joy.

This is our covenant:
That you turn around,
And believe in Me
And make of your heart
A healing place
Where you can share
With others.

And for every tear
That you have shed,
I shall give to you
The diamond
That I made from it
For you.

Oh, shining child,
My own sweet one,
My precious daughter,
My magnificent son,
I hold for you
Your inheritance
Of joy.

For truly, if you
Wish for the children
You bear of the flesh
Every good thing,
Then certainly
I wish the same
For you!

No. I wish MORE
Than this,
Oh, so much more
For you!
And precious one,
I can give you
Every gift!

Unlike the human parent
Who wishes for a life
Of joy and riches
And, most of all,
Of happiness
For the child,

Yet sees the child
They love so deeply
Buffeted by the
Swirling wind
Of chaos
In this world,

I can give My children
Everything (and so much more!)
That every parent dreams
Will bless the children's
Sweet and tender
Hearts.

I can give you everything!
Don't be afraid!
Just turn to Me
And follow
Where I lead you.

I will make
A path for you
Of the diamonds
From your tears.

I will hold your
Gentle hand.
I will rock you
In My Love.

I will show you vistas
Of iridescent rainbows.
I will bring your SoulMate
To stand before
Your heart.

Into your hands
I place the world
That through My Love,
You'll see it
As the beauty
And the gift
It really is.

Oh, precious one,
Don't be afraid!
Just turn your
Lovely eyes to Me
That I might show you
All I've made
For you.

Oh, child of Mine,
I lay before you
All My riches,
All My glory.
Into your hands
I place the key
To the storehouse
Of My treasures.

I place before you
A path of gold
That with every step
You know your worth.

I drape you fully,
Every inch,
In precious gems
That you might know
Your beauty.

I give to you a castle
Made of light,
Every stone magnificent,
Every mortise made
Of peace
That you might know
Your Home in Me.

Keep facing Me.
Oh, turn your back
On all the so-called gifts
This world
Can give!

And I will place before you
One who can love you
As I do. One who
Can say to you
All the things
I long to say!

One who can tell you
That your eyes
Are sparkling pools
Of heaven.

One who says to you,
He or she will kiss the ground
You walk on.
These are symbols
For the power
Of My Love for you.

I will make sure
That you are happy
If you'll accept
My gifts.

For I will place
Before you
Your Twin Flame
Who was made for you
To say to you
In words
Those things I whisper
Wordlessly each moment
To your heart.

"You are Love itself!"
"Your heart is far
More potent,
Than all the suns
And stars
Rolled together!"

This is Me
Speaking with his lips!
This is Me
Holding you
With her arms!

And this is Me
That you feel
Rising inside you
In ecstasy
Rushing toward
The union
Into one.

One heart
With two consciousnesses.
One Love
With two points of view.

I have made him
For you.
I have breathed her
To life
For you.

That everywhere you are
Love is
Right in front
Of you
Forever.

Do you see, dear one,
What waits for you
Beyond the veil of tears?
You can turn the tears
To diamonds with
My Love!

Do not be afraid
For I love you.
My Love is like
A gentle hand
Turning you around.

Oh, look into
The Love I Am!
And you will see
The Love you are
As well.

Don't turn away.
Don't give your life
To things that rust
And fade away!

Don't cry your tears
Into this Earth
Where they will turn
To only mud.

Cry them instead
In the lap of My Will
Where I will catch each one.

Then every tear
Becomes a light
Upon the path
For others.

And every sob
Becomes a peal
Of laugher
In the song
Of who you are.

I Am here.
I promise you.
You need only turn
To look
And you will see Me.

I am the hammock
Of your faith
That holds you
While you yet believe
In pain.

Say "yes" to Me
And every moment
Becomes a shining
"Twist of Fate"
that leads you Home
to Love.

No tear is cried in vain
If you love Me.
No anguish slips
Between the cracks
Of what we build
Together.

Every tear becomes
Your crown
And every seeming
Slip becomes
A movement
In your dance
Of only Love.

I never forsake you.
Yet you can turn away
For eons
From My Love
If you wish.

Yet still I hold you
Wrapped in Love
And tend you as
You toss and turn
And dream
You've lost your way.

Like raindrops in
A thirsty garden
I continue to
Shower you
With My Love

And rock you softly
As you cry
Within your sleep.
And the rocking chair
Of universes
Sings a steady rhythm.

Child of God,
Oh, sweet child of Mine,
You are safe.
I promise you.

With every beat
Of your precious heart
I remind you
You are alive in Me
Eternally.

When you are ready,
I Am here.
It matters not
How long it takes
At all.

My hand is there
Upon your brow.
The sweet breath
That moves upon your lips
Is Mine.

Nothing can take you
Away from Me
No matter what
You've heard.

So even though
I miss you,
This song is not
For Me.
It is for you.

Why wait another moment?
Why not cry out
For help?
The bandits and
The boogey-men
Will fade when you
Awaken.

And you, My precious child,
Will laugh
At the stories you created!
As the water of truth
Comes to wash away
Your castles in the sand.

Those castles that you
Clung to
And wailed to Me
As the tide came in,
"Why don't you, God,
Save these things
That mean so much to me!"

Tides in the dream
Seem so very real,
But once you are
Awake in Love,
Your castles are the cosmos
And your tides the stream
Of Love.

Everything here,
This life on Earth
Is symbols
To be interpreted
Exactly as you
Interpret a nighttime
Dream.

Look to Me
And quickly you'll see
The imagery change
To the symbols
Of Love

And everywhere
You find them
As a "portal"
To Home,
To Me.

A mystical world
That is a living
Fairy tale
You can interpret
As your life

And following closely
The sparkling gems
That are symbolic
Messages sent
From Me.

You'll quickly turn
Back into Love,
And only Love,
Forever.

For we are
Only Love
And nothing
Else.

Don't be afraid!
Let Me loosen
Your grip
Upon the shore
Of this river
Of life.

Don't let fear
Keep you clinging
To the banks,
Afraid to experience
The rushing water.

Dive in!
It's exhilarating!
And, beloved,
I will catch you
For I Am
That very river!
And I hold you
Safely in Me.

I know that
I am using
Many different
Symbols.
But this is the
Only way
To speak into
Your mind.

I can come directly
To your heart
Where, in sweet abandon,
I fill you up
With ecstasy.

But your mind
Is the fearful one,
The dreamer.
So I speak to you
Through the language
Of the dream.

You have heard it said,
"It is the darkest
before the dawn"
and this is true,
My precious one.

Dawn is coming.
The light of truth
Cracks the sky
And the angels fly in
On the horizon.

And you are shaking
In your ego-boots
And wailing
To the shadows,
"Come and save me!"

But shadows have
No substance.
This is why I
Sing to you
This song
Of My Love.

Only Love
Will save you now.
Will you be brave
And choose it?

It will seem
To go against
All the things you think
Are real.

But I Am here,
Holding you
And waiting
For the eyes of
Your heart
To flutter open
And awake.

The Lighthouses
Are lit
To guide you
Through the shadowlands
As you row
Toward the dawn
Of your truth.

How I love you!
Oh, I trumpet it
Out across this world
As Gabriel
And Ariel
Hold their trumpets
To the sky.

You are My voice!
You are My hands!
And most of all
You are My Love.
Oh, precious one,
Let me show you
Who you are!

Let the whole
Of the dawn
Be in your heart.
Be brave.
It is only as you wake
That it seems difficult
At all.

The angels swirl
Around you
And fairies dance
Beside your feet.
And all those things
That seemed so real
Will fade from view
Before your eyes.

More than hope,
I promise you,
I have made you
In my image!
So all the things
You thought you were?
They're gone, like smoke,
Beloved one.

And just as the daylight
Erases the night
So does your dream
Of fear now fade away.

You need not do this
By yourself, for
I Am here and I
Come to you
As the hands and voices
Of the ones who serve
As well as holding you
In my arms.

Call out! Declare
That you are Love
And that the world
You choose is a world
Of Love and beauty.

If you are reading this
(or hearing this)
Your heart is straining
To awaken
And I have come
To touch you
Here, beneath the words.

Do not be afraid.
You are safe
In My Love,
Forever
