My children, today I want you to remove your sight from all the negative things that you have been looking at. I want you to begin to see the beauty and positivity of the things that are around you today. I want you to see how many blessings are around you. I want you to see the beauty in the things that I have created around you. I want you to see the beauty that I created in you. I want you to get full of thanksgiving and full of praise by soaking in the wonderful things that I have done around you.

Today is a day to allow the seeds of joy, beauty, laughter, and the blessings to start sprouting out. It is time to allow the things that my love has been fertilizing to come forth from you. As these things start to blossom and come out in the open it will drive out all the darkness and heaviness that has been resting on your shoulders. Your mind will start to become more aware of the good things around you. You will start to expect to see the good things around you. This will become a big step for you, My children.

The enemy uses all the negative and bad things to cause many distractions, many diversions, many hindrances, many traps, and many heartaches. It is time to become wise to these tricks. It is time to quit allowing the enemy to control your surroundings and to control the way that you look at things. When I look at My children, I see the beauty in them. It is the beauty that I see that helps keep the patience going and the love flowing. As you start to see this you will begin to realize this. You will begin to see how much easier the compassion will flow. You will begin to see how much easier it will be to hope, to love, to be kinder, to be more patient. You will begin to see how much just changing the way you think in this area will begin to change other things in your life.

My children, the enemy does not want you to step into the deeper things with Me. In these deeper things with Me, and to do the deeper callings in My kingdom, you have to have these traits. You have to let these things become a part of your character. The enemy knows this and it is why he fights you so hard with the circumstances, situations, thoughts, and even uses your loved ones to keep you from seeing any beauty or any of the blessings around you at all.

Become wiser to this today, My children. Take time today and really see all the wonderful things that is in your life. Really start to appreciate the beauty in each person around you. Really start to focus on how much the ones around you have to really offer.
There are so many hidden talents in My children because they have allowed so much negativity to control their lives and thought lives that it has clouded them and has caused them to forget about them. The enemy has caused so much grief in this area and so much discouragement. It is time to begin to lift the fog and to make things clear and bring forth the talents that I want to use at this time and in this hour.

So open your eyes today, My children. Let your sight be changed. See the beauty all around you and begin to appreciate what has already been done. You will start to notice the blessings that I have already accomplished and you will see the changes that this will start to do with you. Let the praises come forth and the thanksgiving begin to take place that you have burning inside of you for Me. Let the positivity and beauty of My works come to the forefront. Then watch the enemy be defeated in your life in this area.
