I am this instrument's mother and I wish to address my grandson who did not know me when I was on this Earth, but I want to reassure him that I have been with him very often in his trials and his struggles, and I want him to know how much he is loved by his grandmother and his grandfather, who he knew, and his other grandparents and relatives on this side of life. I want him to know that he is surrounded in Love and when he encounters troubles to ask for us who love him to be with him to help him through his struggles.
Yes, the world can be a harsh place and where you would expect love, sometimes it isn't there. Instead there is judgment and hurtful words. And I want you to know, my dear beloved grandson, that I too struggled when I was in this world. I found it a hurtful place as well. But you unlike me have found a path that will bring great strength and peace and understanding to you. And I found this when I came to this side of life. But you have the advantage of knowing this now in your youth. Imagine what you can do with this truth of God's Love, how it will help you, how it has helped all of those here in this circle.
And you must open your eyes, my beloved beloved son, and look around you and receive the Love and the mentorship that is offered from all those who wish only goodness for you and for your life. You have a new beginning and this new beginning has many possibilities and it is for you to choose your path. Every day comes a choice. But in the choosing there comes a reward, if that choice is for good for yourself and for others. When you choose to withdraw then you do yourself no service. You are always loved, no matter what you choose there is always love.
Many prayers are said on your behalf, so much love is given and goodwill. Take advantage of what is given and say your prayers to God with as much of your heart as you can. Go to God when you need to be strong. Ask Him to put His Love within your soul and you will know the true strength, the true understanding of what life is all about. Your questions will be answered and your life will take on a new Light, a new meaning, a beautiful, beautiful Path.
And as your grandmother I want you to know that I am very close. Ask for me to be with you and I will be and I love you so, my beloved son. God bless you, blessings to all of you here who come in love to pray to God. What Light you generate in the world, what Love you give to one another. You create an oasis, a place of respite for all, all who wish to partake of this beautiful blessing and healing and peace. God bless you, beloved souls, God bless you. I am Marjorie and I love you.
