Thought Adjuster: “Lighten your load. Remove every [[thought]] that keeps you tied up by the chains of [[confusion]], lack of [[faith]], and [[uncertainty]]. You are a [[child of God]], destined to live a mortal life. This mortal [[experience]] is not an experience of sorrow and [[fear]]. It is an experience of [[growth]], of strengthening, of [[maturation]] in every way this is implied. Your time in this school is for learning, but it doesn’t have to be an [[austere]], sad, or joyless time. [[Joy]], [[hope]], and a spirit of [[adventure]] are the hallmarks of those who have discovered what their [[destinies]] are, and have learned that this life is just a drop in the [[ocean]] of [[eternity]].
“Today, while you walked outside, you could feel that the world was perfect, just the way it is. You were able to feel this way because you were in a situation that was favorable to you – a ‘good’ situation – according to your [[idea]] of what is [[good]] and [[beautiful]]. However, when those [[dark]] and rainy days come around, it would serve you well to [[remember]] that rain, as well as [[sunshine]], are both gifts from [[your Father]]. The dark days, as much as the sunny days, are here to teach you something. The cold of [[winter]] is not more or less beautiful than the warmth of [[spring]]. Both are part of the [[cycle]] of changes of this sphere, and they are [[necessary]] for rebirth and [[renewal]]. Similarly, in your life you will go through periods which you will not consider to be pleasant, but these are [[necessary]] in order to [[transform]] you into a better human being.
“However, once you have gone through a hard [[winter]], don’t you get a new [[appreciation]] for [[spring]]? Even those days of intense cold become more bearable with the [[hope]] of spring, which [[inevitably]] will come. Likewise, when you go through difficult times, always remember that better times will surely arrive.
“[[Fear]] and [[anxiety]] are not [[necessary]], nor must you avoid the normal [[problems]] in life. Don’t let fear [[paralyze]] you and prevent you from advancing. Learn to [[trust]] in the One who has decided to go through this life with you, living what you live, and at the same time serving as your [[Guide]] – a [[light]] in the [[darkness]] and a steady hand you can hold at any time you need this.”
