Seasons change, and you change, and yet there is a magnificence in you that stays the same through the seasons. Seasons have their essence, and you have yours.

You are not startled when the seasons change. You know the world is moseying along just the same. And you are too. Whether there are winds or rain or snow or hot sun, you keep your essence, and yet you grow. You grow every day. You grow in matters of the world, and you grow to Me.

Whatever details in the world that you may be involved in, no matter how engrossed in them you may be, you are growing to Me. The path you are on leads to Me. No matter what detours you may take, you are on your way to Me. You cannot escape your destination. I am your destination. Your destiny is assured.

You have safe passage, beloveds. No matter what gauntlet you pass, no matter the ravages, you have safe passage. With fear or without fear, your passage is safe. No matter what the events, you are intact. You are invincible.

I fashioned you, I did not make you out of cardboard. I did not make you throw-away, I did not make you temporary. I made you Mine without any exception. There is no death, so I ask you, beloveds, why you are afraid of death? Go with God, or go with fear.

You may say you go with Me, and still you have fear.

I understand, beloveds, that shadows of fear and death follow you. Nevertheless, if there is no death, why are you afraid to jump out of the plane? I tell you that you have a parachute, and you will not fall. If you must persist in the idea of falling, then know I will catch you. I will tell you that I will catch you even though I have caught you all along. Safe in My arms are you. It has never been otherwise.

The reality is that you are already lifted high. You are infinitely high, and yet I lift you higher. Every time you bounce, I pick you up and raise you higher. I pick you up, yet you were never dropped. You never fell. You never hit rock-bottom.

Whatever terrors you deal with, they have no basis.

I hear you screaming: "What, no basis? What if You had bill collectors, God? What if You missed a payment? What if Your wife left You and took the children? What if You had an illness. God, death is the least of it. It is the times after birth and before death of the body that are hard. Do you really expect Me to be laissez-faire when the wolf is knocking at my door?"

Beloved, I do understand that wolves chase you, and dragons chase you. I am telling you that even if a dragon reaches you and devours you, you survive it. Perhaps this dragon is to thank for tossing your awareness squarely to Me.

The real dragon, of course, is your fear. You have been caught up in the dragon's claws of fear.

The wolf at your door is a false belief. No matter if the wolf blows your house down, you are safe with Me. The wolf and the dragon loom large in your mind. They occupy your thoughts. They wreak havoc in your heart.

I am telling you that everything is all right, and you are saying that the wolf and dragon known as fear are mightier than I am! How absurd. Turn your back on the wild animals that have captured your attention and look at Me. I am speaking to you.
