Lesson from Michael:

On Being an Innocent Child Trusting in God

MICHAEL JUNE 2, 2003


My peace is upon you. Good evening, my dear children. This is Michael. When you come to me, is your attitude that of a child? Tonight, I would draw you into an experience to find that place of innocent child-like trust that you had when you were young, fresh, unspoiled by the ravages of living on this planet. Do you remember this child, my sons? Can you recall in your memory a time and place where you were unspoiled, untainted by the world? Spend a moment now in the stillness, ask for that child within you to come forth, ask your Mother to give you a greater infusion of who is this person that you evolved from, and I will add something into that for you. Spend several moments and we will continue. (Pause)



Recall that I once lived as you now live. Recall, too, that I made decisions about my life - choices that affected not only my material well-being, but my spiritual development. Recall that I learned to trust in the superb and perfect watch-care of our Father in Paradise over me. So, my children, I too needed to find that unspoiled child who is willing to follow a higher law, a clearer leading, and an inspired path. What you are embarked upon is no less than this: to find the Father through those daily faith decisions you make that will grow you into the new body - your soul - that you are acquiring with each decision that is to follow the Father's will; each thought that is loving and understanding, each feeling that is compassionate and tolerant. (Pause)



Each thought and experience that has been distorted by the ways of the world can be opened, can be aligned, in the truth of the Father's love. It is by going back into this place of recalled innocence where you can be led out of the maze of confusion and darkness and into the wonders of living in the light of truth. Find your heart's desire to live again as this little child who wishes to see the world with the new eyes with the openness and joy of a youngster discovering the world for the first time. For this is not a world of sadness or evil. This is a world full of wonder, beauty, love, appreciation. This world is within you, for this is Father's plan within you now showing you an inner destiny that is yours as the rightful place of honor as a child of God. (Pause) Let my truth-light bathe you now in the reality of this. Find that desire within you to be that innocent child once again. (Pause) The light of truth is upon you now. My children, as you are bathed in this light, trust in my love to illuminate all of those secret shadows within you no matter how stubborn or deep or hidden they may be. Each day invite my light of truth to shine deeply within you. (Pause) Find that desire within your heart to feel the love of our Father in Paradise. Let that desire swell within you, and when you feel this burgeoning yearning for His love for you, call me in and ask for my truth to overshadow those places within you that are still in darkness. You will not know where the darkness lies, my children. Invite me in and I will illuminate them. (Pause) The light of truth is upon you now. Be in my peace. Good evening.
