We hear the words ‘hope’ and ‘faith’ being bandied about these days so regularly, that we do not stop and listen to what these words really mean. Hope, hope, hope.
Hope. A feeling of trust and expectation and a desire for a certain something to happen. Desire? Yes, desire is a word meaning ‘from the father’, and of course it has come to mean something that we wish for.
Faith. Faith is complete trust in something or someone, and it works in a realm beyond understanding and reason.
When hope and faith converge, a powerful force for change bursts into flames.
Hope is grounded in reality. It is alive and well in every one of us even though old wounds and disappointments and low self esteem can bury it. These are phantoms that we turn ourselves over to but are no longer real. One must look each one in the eye, say ‘farewell’, and reclaim one’s birthright. And what birthright is that? Desire?
We are each ‘from the father (or mother)’ and we are each born with unbridled shimmering light.
For those whose inclination is in alignment, there are angels.
Phanuel is the Angel of Hope and Uzziel, which means ‘strength of God’ is the Angel of Faith. Invite them into your world and ask for their help. They will come.
Phanuel and Uzziel! Come! Sit! Be with me! Yes.
