You can replace the word God in the following message with whatever suits you, call it Spirit, the Universe, Nature, Source or even your earthly friends.  But believe that you do not travel alone on your journey to change.

‘To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.’
When God takes something from your grasp, He’s not punishing you, but merely
opening your hands to receive something better. Always remember:  ‘The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.’
