Benevolence

October 11, 2026 by Steve Beckow

Benevolence, n.

An inclination to perform kind, charitable acts.
A kindly act.
A gift given out of generosity.

Benevolence = Loving plus sharing, giving, being kind, extending oneself.

Synonyms = Charitable, generous, kind, gracious, loving, compassionate.

“Benevolence” is an attitude. It’s stored in memory among all our other attitudes and influences how we respond to life.

In the case of benevolence, our response is compassionate, kind, and helpful. We usually gift money, objects, or a service to another in need. This is not limited to a gift to a relative or friend. If it’s benevolence as an attitude, then it includes gifts to strangers. And not loans. Not for any profit. The benevolent person gives freely and without condition.

Our reward is instantaneous because the act of giving and the act of sending love from the heart occur simultaneously. I get to experience love flowing through me and out to the other person. Michael described this movement:

Archangel Michael: Love is the energy of the universe. It is the energy of the Mother. And it moves constantly, continually, eternally, infinitely. So, to have an experience of love, it [must move] through you. (1)

Benevolence is one of the divine qualities. My limited experience of them is that every one of them is a reward unto itself and can be experienced by being drawn up from the heart with the breath.

(1) Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Dec. 5, 2018.

The low vibrations of control, greed and deception are being overcome by the high vibrations of self-confidence, optimism and freedom as more and more of Earth’s peoples are absorbing light.
Light, the same energy as love, is Creator, the Source of All That Is—that is who you are, who every soul in the cosmos is—and the light you radiate is helping Earth’s peoples awaken into that reality.
By observing the ongoing drama of this process but not being drawn into it, you are further empowering yourselves, the peoples, and all other light beings in this universe. (Matthew’s Message, Sept. 1, 2022.)

Divine Mother: [I am speaking about] those in … positions where control and abuse of power have been rampant. That will not be the platform [from] which integration of the various galaxies [into the new, interdimensional region of space] takes place. That is not the Plan.
I know very clearly, Sweet One, as do you, if it is not [in] my Plan, then it will not occur. …
Make no mistake, … Love will win because that has been my Plan always.

Beloved child, son of my heart, [Ascension, spiritual evolution] is only about love, about the many expressions, about the many forms.
And truly of anchoring and being nothing but the love, in intellect, in wisdom, in sharing, in adventure, in relationship.
It can only be [that way] when you continue to bring all adventures, all arguments, all explorations back to the love.

Archangel Gaia said
“I am now telling you what your mission is on Earth – it is to be an angel on Earth.
“You do not have to change the people around you; you do not have to get involved in politics, or that kind of activity.
“What you are meant to do here as a lightworker is to anchor a certain vibration.”
