faith

There's such a beautiful, gentle energy radiating from this card. And yet it also brings a lot of strength. For me, dark blue (and you see dark blue everywhere on this card) is the colour of strength.

You have strength in your heart, if you have faith.

You have strength in your whole being, if you have faith and trust.

You are surrounded and will be guided, if you have faith and trust.

I feel that this card, because it says at the bottom about "humanity and benevolence: Stay calm. Trust in the good in yourself and others. See the light in the world", I feel this card is for people who feel they have recently been let down or hurt. Where others around them have maybe not raised them up as they should have. Where maybe they look around them and they look at humanity and the behaviour in the world and they feel let down. They feel, "how can we ever become a better species if this is how we treat the Earth, or treat each other, or treat the animals in the Animal Kingdom?"

This card with its beautiful, gentle, loving energy is coming through and saying, have faith.

The angels, the Universe, the Divine, they know things can be challenging, they know things can be tough. And when we look from our own perspective, sometimes we can see... or, more likely, we cannot see, the light shining out. All we can see is the negativity and the darkenss because that is all we are experiencing. And the angels are stepping forward and reminding us to 'have faith'.

"You aren't the one who is in control of the world. Things may be going array for the world, things may be going array in your life, but don't forget, we are the angels, the Divine, we have purpose behind everything. Everything happens for a reason. So have faith and trust."

When you have faith and trust, that little magic smoke [see blue heart bottle in card above] will arise from your heart. It's almost as if you're releasing a genie from the bottle. Inside of us, our very soul being is full of faith and trust. We are here for a reason. We have chosen this lifetime to be on Earth, as challenging as it may be. You need to return and look inward to your soul and to your heart, and remind yourself why you are here, remind yourself to see the good in everything around you.

Because when you focus on the positivity, when you focus on the good, when you look for the light and the brightness, then it becomes you. Then you will start to shine that light.

When you are looking out on the world or others who have hurt you and see only their darkness and what they have done wrong, you attract that darkness into you. That's not what you want to do. They don't know what they're doing wrong, all of the time. They're acting or following other people. It just takes one person to light that spark, for that person to radiate faith and trust that humanity is good, that the people around us, in essence, are good. They don't mean to hurt us or pull us under.

But more importantly than that, you need to have faith and trust in yourself. Faith and trust that you chose to be here at this time, at this challenging time. And life may not be the easiest for you, but you chose to be here because you know you can make a difference. So look for the positivity, know that the angels and the Universe have your back and they are guiding you and supporting you. Have faith and trust in them. Have faith and trust in yourself and your light.

it only takes one light to brighten a dark room.

When you shine your light with faith and trust, when you show and give an example of how it is to shine your light, others will begin to come to you. And that faith and that trust will start to grow until you surround yourself with people who are similar to you, who are shining their light for themselves, for you, for the Universe, for the world - that's the kind of world we want to live in.

So the angels are saying today, yes, you may have been challenged, yes, you may be going through difficult times at the moment, but please have faith, please have trust. We know that things are difficult but we are supporting you and helping you to light the path and step forward,

Like I said, this card and all Angel and Oracle cards, they have such an amazing energy about them. This card is so incredibly gentle and yet it comes with such a strong message to have faith and trust in the benevolence that is within each one of us. Shine your light. Believe in who you are. Believe that you are here for a reason. You chose to be here at this time for a reason. Now you just need to shine your light. Have faith in yourself. Have faith in the Universe. Have faith in all that is around you. And you will begin to illuminate.
