Uriel's Message--Be Confident--10 March, 2008

Each of you has a special gift or talent that is your contribution to the world. This gift is part of everything that you do in your life, from your job to relationships to the choices that you make. Your gift may be in the arts, communication, writing, your ability to inspire others, being a wonderful friend or parent, there are as many different kinds of gifts as there are people in the world. Your gift is unique and your confidence in it creates opportunities for its expression.
Your biggest downfall is when you compare your gift with that of others. While many may share a gift, no two people share the same gift in the same way. Each person will have a unique way of creating from their gift, sharing it with others and connecting with those who need or appreciate it. But when you are not confident that you have the right gift, or you cannot express it as well as someone else you create doubt in your abilities and do not trust in yourself.

Divine timing is particularly important at this time and the opportunities for you to use your gifts to their fullest extent will happen at the right time. This is a process of unfolding, of your being willing to respond to and accept opportunities that are placed before you. When you move outside of divine timing, imposing your will, you create a vacuum that is filled with disappointment because you are operating in fear. Then things do not work out as you hoped and you lose confidence.

Confidence requires faith and trust, knowing that you have been created in perfection, and that includes your gifts and how their expression manifests in your life. As you grow in confidence you will be presented with opportunities that match your confidence level. Each new level creates a challenge for you to be more confident. Your gifts are a special blessing to you and the world. Be confident in them, know that how you express them is perfect for you. Resist the urge to compare them and yourself with others. Remember that divine timing is always at work in every area of your life and know that when you are confident you invite great and wonderful opportunities for you to use your gifts in the most perfect way and at the most perfect time.
