The candle does not worry about protecting itself from the darkness. It knows that its own luminosity is the only thing it needs to be the light and honour its purpose. It is the same for you, Dear Ones. All you have ever needed to do is embrace your beingness and allow the beautiful, luminosity of your soul to lead your way forward.

Anything that is not supportive of that will naturally be dispelled or transformed through the effectiveness of your own light. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
