Greetings dear ones. This is Archangel Michael. It has been a while since I have been with you, but my presence is always here with you—always available to you, always loving you, always watching you and overlighting you, always protecting you. I am so pleased with all of you. Your intentions to grow are so strong and fruitful. You are changing, oftentimes more than you realize. It is not always easy to see your own change. But I tell you, I am greatly pleased with all that you are doing—with your seriousness, your intention, your fervent desire to grow and ascend. It is absolutely making a difference, and it is making that difference on such a large scale. It is changing your world, and it is changing beyond your world. It is changing your solar system, your galaxy, your universe. This is a time of huge proportion, so much more than is easy to understand.

Often you do not see the results of the work you do immediately, because it may be manifesting in a much greater or more far-reaching way than you can see in your own personal life. The more of you who do this, the more of you who hold this intention and follow this through with your actions and choices in life, the greater the field you create to change what is manifesting. And so this is an amazing time. It is a time that we are in awe of. And yes, many of you are having a difficult time in various ways. We have so much love and compassion for you in your difficulties. This realm that you are in, the thirddimensional Earth realm, is a realm that is more difficult than many, many others. It is not an easy place to manifest, and we have tremendous compassion for you, tremendous desire to support you and make your process—your journey—as easeful as it can be. Yet at the same time, there are reasons—personal reasons and reasons beyond the personal—why each of you are having the experiences you are having. They are valuable, they are supporting you, and they are purposeful. But it is not always easy to understand, within the context of the third dimension, why this is so.

The message that I so much want to affirm—and I am not alone in this; many, many are saying this, are telling you this, and it is true—is that your world is changing at a tremendous pace. I don't know how I can communicate to you how immense this change is and how quickly it is happening. But your work is such a valuable part of that, for yourself and for the change. And this change is for so many. So I thank you for all that you are doing—for every way that you show up, for all the ways that you practice, for all the different circumstances in which you turn to the light, turn to the love. For all the ways in which you make the intention to turn to the light and turn to the love, in whatever fashion it is and in whatever circumstance you are dealing with, I thank you for all of that. Beyond that, I wish to tell you that there are things you can do to support yourself. We have talked about this in the past, as have so many teachers. But it is valuable to hear the reminder; it is valuable support. While some of you may have already mastered certain areas, there may be other areas that you are still working on, because it is different for each person. So it is valuable to have a reminder that there are things you can do to support yourself.
