As you clear your flame your gifts for service will be revealed. With service to others your gifts will blossom as you learn to use them. Service to others is part of your progression or growth. Some of you already have dedicated your lives in service to others- you have served others most of your life. Others are just realizing what their gifts are and how to use them. There are so many and various ways to serve, even the smallest act helps others and yourself to progress. Some of you will be called to serve perhaps through providing a loving foster home, working at soup kitchens, providing a means for others to travel to doctors or hospitals, providing food or clothing, working at refugee shelters or pet shelters, assisting at schools so that all can read and write, or being in service at religious centers. There are so many ways to be of service to your brothers and sisters. Remember that you are all my children, so everyone is your brother or sister.
As your flame fills with love and light, it will flow from you as acts of compassion, mercy, kindness, and love. Perhaps you love to read books and you discover a gift for reading to others or teaching others to read the books you love. Maybe through your love of music and musical skills you provide a lift to those in need- even just humming a cheery tune can bring light when it seems all is lost. Perhaps listening to others is your gift- being heard is a universal need. What do you feel called to do? What you love to do will give you a hint at your gifts and what your soul plans for you in service to others for both your and their soul’s progression and growth.
During this time of prayer and thanksgiving there is a layer of peace, harmony and heightened spiritual energy around the earth. Use that energy to remove that which is not love from your flame, listen to the Voice and your soul for guidance, ask that your gifts be revealed, and that you are shown how to use them. Find your niche, for it will be tailored to your gifts and will reflect the purpose that you have chosen for this life. The more you use the gifts you are given, the more you are given to give.
Remember to ask for help along the way for the Voice is always there to guide and answer your questions. The angels wait to serve you. Give thanks for the gifts and the help you are given to learn to use your gifts. Look for those opportunities to serve others for therein lies the progression of your soul and the soul of others.
