I hear My children cry out:
 
“To God, dear God, I speak to You, and I know You hear me and You talk to me, and You love me. Why am I not the happiest person in the world? God, why aren’t I?”
 
I answer:
 
Habit. It is the premise you start from, that you do not have Me, that you have to attain. You have attained. You have attained Me. What you actually have attained is your awareness of Me, but not just of Me, of our Oneness. There is some residual within you of Our sitting across from each other that you like over Oneness. You have been alone so much in your life, and you love having a Companion like Me.
 
At the same time as you love Our Togetherness, you also love Our Oneness. Even as Our Relationship is Oneness, and you know it, you love to feel the softness of silk between your fingers, and you also love to feel the lesser softness of linen. You feel you would miss the linen, and you may want to keep it as long as you can.
 
You want Everything which is Oneness, yet you want the diversion of multiplicity. You want to face Me, as it were, more than you want to be the Foundation of the Universe. You are hesitant about power. Power may have a connotation that you are less than comfortable with. There is part of you that wants to look up to a taller Power, and have you shorter.
 
So, even as you like to look across at Me, you very much like to look up at Me.
 

HJ: At the core of your being, you are love.  Bringing more love into your life, then, is not a process of adding, but removing what is blocking it from shining through.  The same goes for happiness.  Happiness and love are two sides of the same coin.  If you tap into love, happiness is not far behind.

Looking out on our world you might forget this is the case, but it is so.  We have simply let our natural love and light become covered with the beliefs of a society that has forgotten its true essence.  We have let generations of hurt and pain and misery accumulate for lack of self healing.  It is passed on unconsciously from parent to child until the chain is broken by one who decides to go on an inner journey in search of their true self — to rediscover love.

You are on that journey, which is why you are here reading this article.  You are close to what you seek…

10 Ways to Let Go and Open Up to Love Again

By Vishnu | Tiny Buddha | Vishnu’s Virtues...

If you wish others to be gentle with you, you must first be gentle with yourself.  If you expect others to respect you, start within.  If you long for loyalty, be loyal to your own thoughts and beliefs.  Everything you ask of others must first be given to you by you!  When you fill up your own cup, all that overflows flows to those around you.  Lead by example and your fellow humans will follow suit. ~ Creator

Your heart is a pump of love. What is blood that runs through you but a form of love? What is all of your body but a form of My love? And, so, you always want to nurture your body and think well of it. Let Us hear no more of illness. Love everything about you. Love your bones, love your shape, love your height, love your skin, love your nose, love your toes. Just love that body of yours that takes you everywhere. Love the accoutrements that your body supports for you so willingly.
 
Never again say you don’t like your neck, that it is too long and too thin or too short and fat, and don’t say again you wish your body had this and had that. Part of taking care of your body is to speak well to it and of it. Thank your body for all it does to house your spirit on Earth. Your body is your friend for one lifetime. It is your friend.
 
The physical is not all of you by any means. You already know that. While you are on Earth, your body serves you while your soul is forever. Your body is not, and yet your body caters to you.
 
How do you talk to those who are your servants? You don’t look at servants and say, “You’re ugly.” You don’t constantly point out to servants how you wish they were different. If you want good service from servants, you treat them well.
 
If you think you have no first hand experience with servants, think about how you treat waiters in a restaurant. I believe you thank them. You talk to them as to a human being. You don’t put them down all the time. You know better.
 

Hello, beloveds. Today the sun is shining, and it shines on you. And I, God, am Here in Heaven and in your hearts, and, I, too, am shining on you. I penetrate your hearts, and I hold you high. I tell you to go forth and shine on the world.
 
You may have the sense that the world owes you a living, do you know what I mean? You and the world are reciprocal, and, if We are to speak in terms of owing, you owe the world a blessing or more.
 
This is your world I have given to you. I gave it with all the beauty and glow I conceived it of, and now you are to polish the world. You do that with the light in your eyes and the light in your heart and the light in your mind. Wherever the world may seem dark to you, that is where you are to shed light. Shed light instead of pointing out what appears lackluster or even dire to you. Have compassion for the world and all the people in it. They are striving as you are, and they may be fumbling even more than you are.
 
The world is innocent. Keep the world to your heart. Encouragement for the world comes from you.
 
Never did I make you the critic of the world. Fault can be found. Indeed, it can. Yet the fault line is a rift in your heart. If you want to enable the world to take its rightful place, enable your heart, beloveds. You have light within you that you are to bequeath upon the world. Do not beat the world up nor commiserate with it as though the Earth was an occasion for sadness.
 
Brilliant is the world, and brilliant are you.
