God said:

Near to Me are you. Dear to Me are you.

The Truth of You is Holiness. You scoff at this, yet I will tell you again: The Truth of You is Holiness. You are a Holy Being.

What would I create that was not holy? Imagine the reverence for Life that I hold dear to Me, created by Me. I am proud of My signature. I made you at no charge. There are no limits to what you can make of yourself.

Now, share with Me, reverence for Life and reverence for your own Life.

God said:

Beloveds, if you use half My suggestions, you will be heads and heels ahead. You will knowingly thrive. You will use gobs more of your potential and less over-thinking.

As it is, likely you start from a certain dogged approach to Life. You learned to see Life in a certain way. In many instances, the way you learned to think is not in your best interest. There are other ways to think. Go ahead, gain a new slant on Life in the world.

The Life on Earth before you isn’t guaranteed to be a certain way. There is no guarantee that your Life will be a piece of cake. On the other hand, Oneness is 100% guaranteed. Infinity is guaranteed. Your Life will be worth it.

God said:

Just as the sky is spread out before you, so is the world. There is a panorama of Life in the World, and it is all there before you. Take your pick.

You can look up at the full canopy of the sky. In the same sky above, you can see pretty blue sky with white powder-puff clouds. Look at another part of the sky, and you can see dark clouds in a dark sky. You may think:

“Thunderstorm coming.”

Or you might look up at the sky and spot a rainbow, yet, all of this is One Sky, and who can say that only some of God’s Sky is beautiful? If you personally can’t say that thunderclouds are beautiful, can you not say that you are seeing wonders before your eyes? Is a dark sky any less a miracle than a blue clear sky with white embossed clouds?

So is Life, the Life you live, and the Life and Lives you remark on. Remember, I looked at Creation, and I said: “It is good.” I could have said: “This is a fantastic sky. We sure hit the jackpot!”

Oh, the incredible weaving of the world I wove. Everything in place. Every aspect taken care of. Such integration. I could have said: “This is perfect, all the interweaving.”

The same way, a child, admires what his little hands patted together from Play Dough. He looks at what he has made with good feeling. He did well, and Life is good. Look at what he made!

Also say that what you made is good.

God said:

Do the little things today that may give you a little happiness. Today take a break from making breakthroughs. Today get away from responsibility with My blessing. Take a day off. Today only. Let today be your Sabbath whatever day of the week it is. If you can’t take a day off today, set up another day.

Get out into the fresh air. Sit under the trees. Read a book. Lie in a hammock under the sun. Pick a rose.

Bake something. Eat it while still warm.

Treat yourself in an unexpected way.

If you can do whatever you want today, what might it be? This is what I would like you to do today.

If you feel overwrought, under-do for a while.

Get away from it all today. Assign yourself to taking it easy. Assign yourself to the little joys.

Give yourself some peace.

If you want to lie on your back and look up at the sky, lie on your back and look up at the sky. This is your assignment.

Look at your place in the world in new ways. Today, it’s okay to be lazy. Today there is no denying your right to be at ease today. Easy does it. This is what I ask of you today.

Want to ride your bike? Go ahead. No pressure.

Want to sit at the river’s edge? Do it.

If you happen to be someone who likes to clean closets, go right ahead. Empty space around. Give yourself room. No need to fill space nor time.

God said:

What is your style of living? What is it really? Is it being the Princess and the Pea? Is it being the Hare as in the Aesop fable of the Tortoise and the Hare? Or are you like the Tortoise who is slow and steady? Perhaps it is your style to take your own sweet time? Or, perhaps, can it be your style to point out errors?

Many of My children practice the style of complaining as a way of life. Perhaps you are quick to see a fault wherever it may be. Perhaps you an expert at finding flaws. Perhaps spotting a flaw out there somehow makes you feel better. What exactly is pleasing about finding fault? What? Does it give you a feeling of emperorship?

Wherever your dissatisfaction comes from, you don’t have to honor it. You may be perfectly right, yet what has that got to do with anything? In the world, Beloveds, there is always an opposite.

Why are you looking for perfection outside yourself, or, within yourself? In world terms, you can’t be everything, have everything. You will come to the place where you will appreciate everyone and everything in everyone. In the world, it is not so easy to please or to be pleased. Not even the Great Spiritual Ones pleased everyone by a long shot.

Yet there is good within everyone. There is gold within everyone. If there is gold within you, you are not the only one. Everyone has gold within. You may have to look for it.

God said:

You don’t have to put yourself under great emotional strain. Why would you lock yourself out of your own Home on Earth and take away peace from yourself. Forgo stress.

Patience and impatience are not as harmless as you may think. Impatience earmarks Life as a catastrophe. Impatience considers current circumstances as Almighty. On the other hand, patience is having other recourses and resources. Patience sees clearly.

Be still. All is already taken care of. Hold this Truth secure in your heart. Let your heart be strong. In the extant world, all is temporary. You extend far beyond what strikes you as trouble. Truth attests to Infinity which is Eternal, and so are you.

There is a spark of Life that takes care of everything. Acknowledge that all is already solved and resolved. Hold this Truth. Ah, yes, all may not be solved as you wish, yet all difficulties do dissolve. If difficulties exist, they are of the past. Don’t claim them. The Sun rises every morning.

Of course, My children, you tend to believe that you are surrounded with insurmountable difficulties. This is a mistaken belief.

Remember this: Thoughts are powerful. Your thoughts are powerful. Even your mistaken thoughts are powerful. Truth is more powerful.

Pardon yourself from transgressions of thought. Only as an afterthought do you discern an error. Don’t make so much of the past as you do. The past is only a word on paper or a thought in the air, not to be kept, definitely not to be collected for old times’ sake.

God said:

Beloveds, I hear you. I hear you say:

“Dear God, what a God You are. You don’t despair. You don’t lock any doors. You unlock the doors within me that I lock to myself.

“I put myself into a trance as if the Meaning of Life can only be temporary. The temporary may be likened to a coat of many colors that I cover my soul with. I make this coat all-important, as if I have no say about it when the actuality is that I have all the say in the world about it. I hold this coat to me and wrap it around me as if it were Life itself.

“I am indeed wrapped up in the surface of Life, as if this surface is all that there is. I cover myself up from Reality. I hide myself away in a pocket. I look not into the Mirror of Myself. I fritter my Life away.

“Of course, You would say that I uphold fiction with my every breath. I wrest fiction from the world and call it my own.

“Does this mean I carry a false self that I reveal to the world even as I try to cover up the falseness of me with various ruses? When I look into a little mirror of myself, I must see an illustration of myself, even a cartoon of myself. I would like to look at myself in a clear mirror and see my reflection as You, God, do see me.

“Sometimes I don’t feel that I exist. I just hang out here in Life, refusing to get on with it. I persist in the illusion that I am a mere hollow tube when I am to be a flute for You, God.

God said:

Everyone has a unique story. Born into the same family, both parents the same, no two children are alike. For all you can tell, the children could have come together from the ends of Earth, yet somehow they find themselves living their childhoods together. As you may see it, it is a puzzle that children so disparate could have ever somehow come to live together. It seems impossible, and it also seems destined.

Had the children been assembled in an orphanage together, the chooser's eyes closed, could they have turned out so unmatched as they were? Yet there is family, and desire for family and desire to belong and perhaps desire not to belong as well.

Everyone is unique. You are unique. Wherever you were born, no matter the circumstances, you are you and, often, you are a surprise to yourself.

There is a song called Getting to Know You.

Gettin' to know you,
Gettin' to know all about you.
Gettin' to like you,
Gettin' to hope you like me.

Your Life on Earth is a remarkable opportunity to form a relationship with yourself. Bouncing off of other people is one way you find out who you are.

Yes, in the world, you are getting to know this personality you are this lifetime. At the same time, you are also discovering the underlying Truth of You.

God said:

Whatever you have on your mind today, whatever may be weighing you down, whatever may occupy you, let it go.

Unless a thought gives you happiness, why have it? What merit is there for you to worry this and worry that? Come now, come with Me, and enjoy your voyage on Earth. You are here for joy, so enjoy.

On the ship you sail, there may well be two conversations going on. One conversation may make your heart soar. The other conversation objects to life in the world as it is. Which conversation do you want to sit in on, be part of, to practice?

I don't believe that you really prefer to listen to bashing about life and the world and what the world, by golly, looks like. What is the point of being clever when you hammer in the errors of the world and make them stand out? Are you really required to add up faults and errors and present a long list? Let your heart sing instead.

The world is going to go on with or without your input.

Go out and plant some flowers. There are lots of things more helpful than listing all the improvements necessary that you can do. Plant one flower. Now you are talking. Now you are like a balm to the world.

Everything you do, everything you say, washes over the world. It is magnified. Be clear on what you want to magnify. I ask you to magnify blessings. This is the meaning of as you sow, so shall you reap. Reap the benefits of life in the world. May hay while the sun shines. Sowing and reaping are not meant to be a revival of the past but to bless this very moment.

God said:

You are on a rung of a ladder. You may hesitate to go higher. No matter how much you may ask Me to propel you higher, you may pull back. Why? If you let go of all your attachment to boundaries, perhaps you wonder what you might open yourself to then.

What might you have to give up, and what might this perceived loss take away from you? What if it costs you plenty, and you find yourself without any recourse?

Once truly unbounded, you are unbounded forever, and there is no going back. You won’t want to.

It’s true you are accustomed to fear. Sure, your fears concern the surface level of Life, yet without all your fears, what then would be left of you? Absence of fear might carry its own disappointments, and you are fearful of disbanding fear.

What if later on, you want back the full entertainment of Life on Earth? What if the borders of Life that are so familiar to you — what if they really do keep you safe? You may wish to let go at the same time you are fearful to. Meanwhile, you go back and forth.

Beloveds, the decision to hold fear close to you is yours, of course. You are uncomfortable with your fear thoughts in the world, yet, at least, you can say that they are your own.
