         Behold My sunshine flower, whose face looks toward Me and receives the warmth of My sunlight, and reflects My love, My sunshine, and My warmth upon others. Behold this one who feels as nothing in her own sight, but whom I say is highly blessed--blessed with the touches of My love, blessed with the fruit of My Spirit, blessed with the blessings of My hand!
         Though everything is not completely as you would have it, yet all is in My hands. So do not fear, My precious, precious flower, for I protect you. I cup My hands around you so that nothing will harm you. The strong winds will not blow you over, for I protect you. The wild animals will not step on you, for I protect you.
         So put your trust in Me and face Me, always Me. Turn your face toward the sunshine of My love. Receive My warmth and My love, that you may reflect it upon others, that you may glow with My love and pass it on to others, that they may learn of My love by your hand.
         And say not of yourself, "I am nothing, I am weak, I am frail." Don't compare yourself to others whom you feel are more able, more articulate, more talented. For I have given you the talents and the gifts that I have given you, and they are great gifts! They are gifts of love, gifts of My presence, gifts of My love through your touches, through your hands, My elixir upon your hands.
         Use My elixir and touch them. Lay your hands upon them. Pray for them. Touch them and feel their needs so that you will know what to give them--the love they need, the compassion, the caring, the Word. As you lay your hands upon them, I will show you.
         Know that a man's gifts make room for him. You are blessed of Me and gifted of Me, and thus I make room for you.
         Fear not, My sunshine flower, for as long as you face the sunshine you will absorb the light. As long as you face Me and constantly trust Me and know that I am in control, you will have peace and contentment, even though all about you may not seem to be right. All about you may not seem to be to your liking, yet if you will look up to Me, you will have great peace. For I am the giver of peace and I bestow it upon you, My precious and lovely sunshine flower.
