Many of you feel called to service but hesitate to step into it because you feel you need to be more – to learn more, to reach some new level of attainment or mastery. This thinking would be much like denying a child a hug because you feel you need to learn how to love more first. What if we told you your mastery grows and expands through service?

We love and honour you for wanting to be diligent and appropriate, but the fact that you wish to be of service automatically indicates you have something to offer others. You will have knowledge you have gained through your own experiences that will be helpful to others who are seeking guidance.

Simple service is often the most effective of all. There will always be something you have to offer, Dear Ones, because kindness and love are the universal healers, connectors, and uplifters, and you have an endless wellspring of both to share if you simply lead with your heart. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

Do you perpetually keep your success one step away? Do you believe in no pain, no gain? Do you think if you work hard enough you will eventually be rewarded? Do you think if you can just somehow be good enough you’ll be blessed? Are your rewards always coming but never seem to arrive?

The problem with all of those belief systems is they keep you out of your place of power which is the now moment. They depend upon some threshold being met, some future alignment that you hope will come. When is the pain enough for gain? When have you worked hard enough? At what point do you decide you are worthy enough?

Dear Ones, please hear us when we say that you are sovereign beings and you get to claim your energetics and alignment in this right now moment. There is not some secret measurement that decides if and when you are good enough to be rewarded because you are inherently good and worthy. The reason why those old beliefs will sometimes bear fruit is because you decide when you think you’ve worked hard enough to be worthy enough to receive and then allow the reward to come.

Of course, taking action towards goals is wonderful and how you expand and experience new things. But those steps should be taken because they bring you joy, are a means of how you wish to express yourself, and are working with the flow from a state of alignment, empowerment, and worthiness.

So many of you are dedicated to service, to making a difference, to giving.  But are you equally adept at receiving?

Dear Ones, the universe works in ebbs and flows in order to create balance and support for everyone involved. Receiving is an essential component of being part of that whole.

Do you accept help? Can you love yourself enough to ask for help if you need it? Do you practice good self care? Do you see your needs as being equally important as everyone else’s? Can you accept a compliment?

Do you acknowledge your own innate goodness? Do you include yourself in your unconditional love? Can you allow yourself to shift from the old paradigm of martyred service into the new paradigm of joyful, supported service?

When you allow yourself to receive, you let others experience the joy that comes from service and giving. You let them lead with their hearts, and to connect with you in a loving way. From that perspective, you can see that receiving is just as much an act of service as giving is.

If you have been having issues with monetary abundance, you may wish to explore any ways you say no to receiving due to old habits or conditioning. How can you loosen that up and release those old beliefs? Have you been constricting how the universe can deliver to you? Can you make a declaration today that you are ready to surrender into a flow that includes receiving?
