# The Budding Potentials of Our Souls **Spirit:** [[Spirits/Care|Care]] · **Medium:** Al Fike · **Date:** 2016-11-29 *When you allow God to plan for you all will unfold in harmony and often surprisingly so for God has the best intention for all.* --- I too will join you in your prayers and your efforts. My dear mate, my beloved, I’m with you often and I join you in your prayers. There is a lot of work for you to do, my beloved. It’s coming, you will all feel what is coming. [Reference to J.W.] You all need to learn to let go of those things in your mind, your expectations of what will be, what must be. You must allow God to orchestrate your efforts, to allow his beautiful will to manifest in your lives and in your efforts together. It is like you see the bud of the rose which is closed, so you see the color and you see an indication of the form but until the rose opens you cannot truly see its details and beauty and so it is with this work, the bud is swelling. It begins to open one petal at a time but you do not truly see the form, God’s intent, and the beauty that God created and the plan that God has for each one of you and all of you together. This is coming. Every day you will come to know a little more, with another petal exposed, another addition to this beautiful form, its colors rich. Appreciate each petal, appreciate each day, appreciate what God gives you with each day and know that as the flower unfolds, the true knowledge will come, the efforts that you are meant to make will come to fruition. But, if you decide to plan for God, you will divert your efforts and when you allow God to plan for you all will unfold in harmony and often surprisingly so for God has the best intention for all. For you and all of us who serve God it is a gift to be a part of His great plan, to serve in love and to know the power of His love manifest in all of us in all its beauty and glory. There are thousands upon thousands of roses, unique, each one. Unique in color and form. A sea of roses, in beauty, in grace, a magnificent creation of God. You are all a beautiful rose and each one of you will flower and show that beauty and be magnificent in that beauty and form and color and light. Oh my friends, if you could only see with the eyes of your soul, all of your worries and cares would fall away and you would be gloriously happy, knowing that God has you firmly in His embrace and is nurturing each one in the beautiful, wondrous ways of your beautiful soul. I love you, I’m with you. I will continue to be with you and I pray for each and every one of you, each and every day. I pray that you will continue to walk in the light of His Love and of the glory of His Creation and be that beautiful flower you are destined to be. A rose by any other name, still a rose. God bless you, I love you, I love you, I love you all. God bless you. --- > [!abstract] Description > Care joins the circle in its prayers and asks the group to let go of their expectations and allow God to orchestrate their work. God's plan for each of them and for all of them together opens like a rose, one petal at a time, and planning for God only diverts their efforts. Each of them is a unique rose who will flower, and if they could see with the eyes of the soul, their worries would fall away. ## Related messages - [[2016-03-31 Encouragement from Mary|Encouragement from Mary]] - [[2016-04-12 Expectations of the Mind - On Releasing Control|Expectations of the Mind: On Releasing Control]] - [[2016-12-05 If You Could See Your Own Lights|If You Could See Your Own Lights*]] ## Chains - [[Chains/Soul Purpose Emergence]] - Elaboration > [!question]- Questions this message answers > - Why can't I see God's plan for my life? > - How do I stop trying to control everything? > - What happens when I try to force my own plans? > - Why is my purpose being revealed so slowly? > - How do I let go of my expectations? > - Does God have a plan for our group as well as for each of us? > - Do loved ones in spirit pray for us? > - Can a soulmate in spirit stay close to me? > - Why do I worry so much if God is taking care of me? > - What does the Bible mean by 'consider the lilies of the field'?
