# Nurture Your Soul **Spirit:** [[Spirits/Francis of Assisi|Francis of Assisi]] · **Medium:** Al Fike · **Date:** 2016-09-09 *Drink the Love deeply, for that thirst will never be quenched but with each sip of this Love you will be stronger and more fulfilled.* --- And I am your guide, my son. Yes, your love of animals makes us brothers and your desire to serve your brothers and sisters makes us allies in service to God and His Love and I come to tell you that I have been with you often and will be by your side as you continue in this work bringing truth to those who are receptive to receive it, bringing Love wherever you go, showing the way. You must pray fervently to God to guide you and open your sensibilities that you may be in that flow of God's guided intention and Will. And in this way you will find your way, you will draw many bright souls to you who will support you and will add their Light to your Light and bring change into this part of the world so in need. You are a beautiful soul and you feel the desire within you and the purpose which God has put within you to do this work, to be in this beautiful flow of God's Love. Continue to pray with all of your heart and all of your soul to receive this great Gift and the barriers will be broken, the openings will be great within you bringing an upwelling of pure soul desire and awakening and knowledge. You must nurture your soul, my son, nurture your soul, for none of this work can be done without fervent prayer and preparation so that you may walk a path intended and you may do so with deep awareness and understanding and you must know your true self, you must be true to yourself, and you must not let those old feelings, and thoughts, inhibit your progress. You are loved, my son, you are loved. You must know the Heavenly Father who loves you like His own son, for you are, my beloved son, His own son who has nothing but love and acceptance, unconditional. Walk with God, for you are a child of God and be firm and secure in this knowledge that God is with you and will carry you and light the way to wondrous opportunities of service, will bring great grace into your life and joy and deep peace. Drink the Love deeply, for that thirst will never be quenched but with each sip of this Love you will be stronger and more fulfilled. I am Francis and I love you and shall never leave you, my brother, I will never leave you. God bless you. --- > [!abstract] Description > Francis tells one man that he is his guide, that their shared love of animals makes them brothers and his desire to serve makes them allies, and that he has been with him often and will remain at his side. He asks him to pray fervently for guidance and to open his sensibilities, promising that bright souls will gather to him and bring change to a part of the world in need. He tells him to nurture his soul, since none of this work can be done without fervent prayer and preparation, to know and be true to himself, and to let no old feelings inhibit him. God loves him as His own son. ## Related messages - [[2016-08-28 Come Down to the River|Come Down to the River]] - [[2016-09-11 Many Are with You in Your Efforts|Many Are with You in Your Efforts]] > [!question]- Questions this message answers > - Do I have a spirit guide? > - How do I nurture my soul? > - Why does longing for God never feel satisfied? > - How do I stop old feelings from holding me back? > - Does God love me the way a father loves a son? > - How do I come to know my true self? > - Can loving animals be part of a spiritual path? > - How do I prepare for work I feel called to do? > - Why do I need to pray if God already knows what I need?
