God said:

“Beyond” is a key word for you today. You are called to go beyond wherever you have been before. You are called to go beyond everything. To date, you have not gone far enough. What I mean is you have not believed enough in Me or yourself or goodness and mercy, and so you have believed in fear and other lesser things. It is disproportionate the attention you have given to lesser things. You have been chased by shadows, and you keep looking behind you, as though you want to see them reappear.

Better to look straight toward where you are going. Face front. We are talking about firsthand motivation rather than shadow motivation. If your motivation is to be safe, you will constantly look over your shoulder. If your motivation is to go forward, you will go forward. In any case, you are racing to Me and to truth and to your destiny. The past is not your destiny. I am your destiny. Look in front of you. Look where you are going.

External motivation is not enough. Motivation for results is not enough. Motivation has to be deeper than that, and satisfaction comes from deeper than that.

Appearances are not good enough for you anymore.

Only truth is good enough for you now.

And We come back to the truth of following your heart because your heart knows what it is reaching for. Your heart knows what lasts and what is ephemeral. Ephemeral is what never was anyway.

Dreams are not ephemeral. They are true. But the object of the dream may be ephemeral. There is only one thing you can reach and find within it your fulfillment. Your fulfillment is not outside it.

Motivation for outside gain is not so helpful nor is it so worthy. In other words, it is not enough.

Let Me be your motivation. Whatever it is you do, do it for Me. That alone lifts you out of where you have been, and you do need to be lifted out. You do need to depart from old tracks. You need to start coming Home which is the same as to say coming to Truth.

Anything less just doesn’t do it for you anymore.

And your truth and My truth are the same. Truth cannot be less and still be truth.

What motivates you?

You sort of think, “Oh, dear God, my daily life motivates me. You don’t quite know what it is to have physical needs to take care of. It is quite enough for me to put one foot after the other. Just to get through a day is sometimes the best I can do. To get through the morning. To get through an afternoon. To get through an evening. Sometimes it is all I can do to get through. To go beyond? I have all I can do to take care of what is right before me now.”

What motivates you states how far you will go.

Listen to what I just said.

I know you have daily needs to attend to. But I ask you to see beyond them. Otherwise, you go through daily motions, and your life is lived in pay checks. That is not enough of a reward for you. Good marks at school are not enough of a reward for you. Winning a prize is not enough of a reward for you.

Only I am reward enough for you. Only the love of God is big enough for you. Only the encompassing truth and love of the great THAT I AM is enough for you.

Whether you know it or not, all you do is for Me. You might as well know it. A bone is not enough for you. Only I am enough. And you have already won Me. Now accept what you have always had. And do that for Me also, for it is My yearning for you that you must fulfill.

What I am saying to you is that you yearn for a higher purpose. The mundane is not enough for such a one as you.

God said:

Clear vision is My vision. Anything less is unclear. Think a moment. What does that say to you?

My vision is innocent. That is how it is clear. True, of course, I am All-Knowing, but it is with innocence that I know all. If I were not innocent, I would scrutinize My children and find fault the same way you do and stay on the surface and speculate on everything the way you do. But fortunately I am innocent, and I see innocence. That is how it works. I am Innocence, and, therefore, I see innocence. Therefore, I see clearly.

Beneath your layers, you are innocent. Beneath your layers, you are all-knowing. Beneath your ignorance, you know truth. It’s just that you don’t believe yourself. The world gives so much credence to untruth, that you feel lost with yourself, and you look askance at what you know.

Truth in the world is often fashion and not truth.

But all the other people in the world also know deep down within themselves what is true and what is glamour.

Dare to know what you know.

Your heart is the knower. Not your mind. Help your mind to follow your heart to truth. You wonder what difference that makes, but the difference is a sigh of relief. Your mind has put you under strain. I release you from that strain. Settle your mind, and grow with your heart.

Your heart is the true explorer.

Your mind is a relentless tracker. It goes off the main road.

Your heart stays on its path.

Your mind gets caught up in traffic.

Your heart doesn’t get caught up. It frees itself.

If you woke up tomorrow and had lost all formality, all recollection of acquired knowledge, all prescribed thinking, your eyes would open innocent and you would, for the first time in a long time, see what there is to see. You would see colors as if for the first time. You would hear sound as if for the first time. You would feel warmth and cool, breezes and stillness. You would have new eyes because you would have been unburdened of past accumulation of impressions, impressions impressed upon you, not initiated by you. But now in innocence you would be the initiator of all you saw and all that came before you, and all that came before you would be changed by your new vision.

Your vision would be changed because you would have unloaded its camera of past pictures taken.

And, furthermore, your camera would never hold anything again. Each day would be anew. No backlog. That is innocence.

Today your eyes are clearer because I have been clearing them for you. Feel your new clarity. Feel how I have removed past film from you. Feel your eagerness to see anew and to no longer see the old. The old used to rule you, and now it has been vanquished. It has been relegated to its rightful place which means it has been erased. The past was not indelible; it was not meant to stay. The past was a temporary thing. It was meant to go down with the sunset or perhaps thrown into a hamper. Perhaps you have hung the past on the line, but now it has to be taken down. The past has to vanish, or it interferes with the present.

Let go of the past, and your fatigue will go. Your weariness will go. Your overweight will go. All that has been accumulated will go.

Trade in the past for the new. Today is present, and today is new, and today you, through My grace, are also new. Welcome yourself, and be what you are.

God said:

Remember, when you feel glum, it is nothing more than that there was something you wanted to be or to have or to seem, and it didn’t come out the way you wanted and so you saw disappointment and thought you were the disappointment. You thought not meeting a dream of yours was fatal for your dream and that that fatality proved your unworthiness. It is not the disappointment that makes you unhappy. It is the sense of unworthiness that you glean from it. You play tricks on yourself.

You compare yourself too much. You compare yourself with others and you compare yourself with an image of yourself that you don’t live up to. But who said you had to live up to it? Who said you had to be this way and not that? Who said that popularity from the world or from yourself was the key to your happiness?

Each of you trudges along as best he can. Be kind to your own self, and then you can be kind to others. You are a hard taskmaster. And I am a loving One. But that is because I see Truth and you see manufactured illusion. If you saw Truth, you would take delight in yourself. You would dance for joy for your Humanness that so disappoints you now. You would see that your Human life is only a scribble on the universe, and it doesn’t all matter that much. You attach too much importance to it.

You are always seeking improvements. At this rate, you will never be satisfied. You are forever sighing, “Oh, what I could have been. Oh, what I could be! Oh, what I will never be. Oh, what I will never achieve.” You defeat yourself. You undercut yourself. Never mind about achieving.

Mind about being. Consider that your task is to be happy with yourself. Not so mindful, but happy. You are your own twin, the critic of you and the child of you — My child of you. Which shall it be? In your search for so-called perfection, who is winning, do you think?

That pompous judger of you is winning. The one who says, “Not good enough. You have to do better. You came this far yesterday, and now you have to come further, or you’re not so good.”

But the child of you skips along, has no disappointment, savors what comes. The child of you embraces while the critic twin of you lashes out.

Who would you rather be? The smug judge that you give credence to or the happy child that you berate?

Can’t you leave yourself alone a little bit? So, you are not the perfect creature you had intended. So, you are a disappointment to yourself. So you fall short of your ideas of what you should be. Then pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and keep going forward. There is nothing you have to attain. There is nothing you have to do but keep going.

Consider your task today is to defeat the critic part of you. When it starts to hold sway, stay its hand. Tell it to go away and let you move on. The critic side of you makes you think he wants to improve you, but he really wants to keep you down. He really wants to defeat you and say, “I told you so.” But you must shrug off the critic side of you and let the bright side of you blossom.

Keep growing toward the sun. Let nothing hold you back. There is nothing you have to achieve in growing toward the sun. Get your feet free from the deluges of the past. Kick your critic away, and rise to Me.

Have no image of yourself at all. No image to live up to. No disappointments to forbear. Your false images are your idols. Your predeterminations batter you. Let yourself alone. Let Me take care of you. Let Me tell you what you have to do and be. Let Me put you together instead of your taking yourself apart.

God said:

I am a plentiful God. I survey My Creation and I give. I know what to give. I know what I have given. Do you know what you have received?

Probably not.

Probably you notice everything that you don’t want and forgot to see what you have been blessed with. Everything you don’t want is clear to you. You make an objection after the fact. What good is that? Your knee has already been scraped, and you say, “I protest”. A judge has sentenced you to a night in jail, and you say, “Your honor, I protest.” Or you say, “God, why did You do this to me?” or “God, how could You have let this happen.”

Instead of bemoaning what has transpired, wave your good to you.

Usher it in.

Welcome it.

Invite it.

Be assured of it.

Make acquaintance with your good.

Think beyond your present possibilities, and then you are thinking.

Do not mire yourself in conditions. Circumstances are but scenery passing you by. Scenery is not the director of you, but you have been kowtowing to it. Scenery around you is not the present. Scenery is something put up and then taken down. The present is something else. You have to look behind and beyond the scenery to know the present. You move through the scenery. The scenery does not place you somewhere. The scenery doesn’t alter you although sometimes you believe it does.

You are far mightier than the scenery. And you will do well to look far beyond it. You must, or you are entrenched in the scenery, locked in to pictures around you, enmired in a backdrop.

Look to your heart, and look to Me, and you will see past the subterfuge around you.

My friends, you do not need to obey the events and circumstances of your life. Uphold only that within them which upholds you.

Look to your inner knowingness.

Be your own guide. Rely on truth and not so much on factors. Factors are but shifting sands. What do they really have to do with you? What does the impermanent have to do with the permanent? What does unholiness have to do with holiness? You are the permanent, and you are the holy, for you are a section of Me. You are a part of Me. Not just a splinter of Me, but a part. No, not a part. An integrated whole. You are My consciousness in Human form. Partake of My consciousness, for it is yours.

You are a little embarrassed when I call you holy. You cough behind your hand, as if I were not All-Seeing. You think you see better than I. You think I am blind not to see your misdemeanors, but you are blind to see them, for around you is a vast light so bright and so beautiful that if you could but see it, you would look at nothing else. You would not be blinded by this brightness, but you would see in this brightness, and you would breathe it in, and you would become it fully in your appreciation of its greatness. You would absorb it, or it would absorb you, and which was which would not matter at all, for you and the light would be merged, and you would be the light, or the light would be you, and there would be light magnificent, and you would know it. You would know Me, and you would know you.

I have always known you. You have not departed from your initial created moment. That spark is within you still. That is who you are. You are My true light. You who are made of My light are My light.

God said:

You are learning to be like Me, to think like Me, to see like Me.

When I created the universe, I did not think through each detail. That would have been indeterminable and lengthy. What I did was desire. I had an intention to create life and beauty, and My intention was realized. You were part of My intention. My creation is creating itself still. That is called evolution. Something was started in motion, and the motion continues.

My desire was to take My love and make something concrete of it. That was My desire. That was My aim. That was My intention, but I did not draw a blueprint and figure everything out beforehand. I had My desire, and My desire manifested, and I blew life into it, and I saw it was good.

And that is how you create. You do not plod along with every nuance. You feel an urge toward something — that is your desire — and your desire bears fruit. What you desire becomes a picture of itself.

Had I planned every detail of creation, I might still be working on it. But the details drew themselves together out of My beginning thought. Thoughts manifest.

An artist who paints has his desire to express, and he moves his brush and he encourages it and he follows it, and something in the artist that had to be expressed expresses. Something from inside the painter calls the painting to himself, and the brush cooperates. The colors move themselves. Everything is ready and eager for the painting to be painted. The artist does not have a formula. He has a desire to express something. He was not creating a formula. He was creating a painting.

In your desiring, you may not even know the name of it or if it has a name. You desire. You are the desirer. And you are the desired. What you create is your picture. It is a picture revealing yourself.

Your desire is for love to come out of you. You may think your desire is for love to come to you, but your desire is to express.

A car is not a desire though you may wish for it. It is something you want and perhaps require in terms of your world, but wanting or needing a car is not a desire. A desire is something more than a limited object.

Start to seek your desires, seek to know what they are. They are pursuing you, your desires.

How are you going to express yourself to Me — that is a desire. And that is the same as your saying, “How is God going to express Himself to me and through me?”

Your true desire is that I express through you. The fact is I do. And you are branching out. You are losing your edges and becoming more immersed in the universe of Me. I am not outlined, and nor do you want to be. You want to reach the furthermost without any demarcation in the way, no stops, no fences, no gates. Your desire to be at the furthermost is My desire for you to be at the innermost.

My words here are like an artist’s stroke of the brush, and you are wondering what they mean. My words here, My brush strokes, are pulling you closer to Me. That’s what they mean. And that is what you can understand. You can understand that I love you and bring you to Me. And that is Our desire. We are creating your desire and fulfilling Mine.

God said:

Have a new picture of yourself. Redraw your sketch. Or erase it. Have no sketch of you at all. Just have you. You in all My glory.

So often you predict yourself. You think that life strictures you or other people, but it is you. You constrain yourself. Widen your opportunities and avail yourself of them. You are your greatest opportunity, but you simply haven’t seen that. You keep looking for something wonderful to come to you. It has.

You keep looking for some kind of answer, some conclusion to or evaluation of everything. You are resolved to make sense of things. Make life instead. Make life by letting go of it. Aim, and let go.

Discharge your servitude to fashionable concepts that don’t apply to you. Apply yourself to the truth of your dreams. There is more out there for you. Dare to reach it. Reach higher. Then it will come closer to you. Your reaching pulls it to you. Reward yourself.

What are your true deep desires? To accumulate or to give? Divest and dispense. What metaphors in life are yours to make? What associations of diverse things can you bring together? What illusion can you shake? Reassemble shards of your life. Put the pieces back together differently. There is another configuration than the one you have assembled.

How you combine the elements changes their features, do you agree?

Combine yourself with Me. I am not a missing ingredient. I am a base. I am the base from which all else comes. Even paint has a base. You cannot possibly be without one.

Base your life on Me. That means start from Me. Start from where you began. Start at the beginning and begin anew again and again. Check in with Me. It’s free. It’s holy. It’s a good thing to check in with Me because I am refreshing. I am the Refresher.

Consider your life a refresher course. In your life, you are looking for signs of Me. Instead of the signs you have been looking for, look for the clues I have strewn before you.

Better yet, look at Me. Look for Me directly. Enough skirting the issues. Come back to Me. Catch Me. I am right behind you and ahead of you. You can’t miss Me, for I leap in front of you in order to be seen. Oh, you’re right, I don’t have a form you can see, but you can see evidence of Me nevertheless. You can see love, can’t you? Even in the most remote places, you can see it. Sometimes it’s easier to see in the remote places. Then bring it back with you to the milling throngs who are ever passing by one another and forgetting My love in their haste. Take My love with you and throw it to the winds.

Grow in the habit of love by giving it and knowing that there is always more where that came from. Be not stingy with love. It is not yours to be stingy with. When you are stingy with it, it disappears in your closed hand. When you open your hand, like a butterfly, it is gone. Set it free in the first place. That is what I have done.

I set love free in the world, and I told it to multiply. It must multiply or it becomes dormant. Love is not happy to be dormant.

Love will out. Open its cage and let the bird fly. Make not a prisoner of My love in you. Free My love so it finds more of itself. This is the value of anonymous giving. It is My love you give, and to whomever you give, you give it to yourself. This is all done in freedom. Giving love is the freedom of your evolution. Give it without noticing. My love is not a proclamation. It is My love. My love invades everything. Let it invade you. Allow My love in you to know itself.

God said:

What I suggested yesterday will change the order of your day. You may do the same things, but you will do them in freedom. How you look at your life will change and, thus, your life will change. From bondage to freedom, My children. That is all it takes. A tiny switch in you, and you go from off to on. Stay on.

What has happened, in many cases, is that you forgot to enjoy life. You were so busy fulfilling self-imposed obligations that you forgot the true purpose of life which is to enjoy. You can do the same things you have been doing, and you can enjoy doing them when you are not shackled by them. Give yourself joy breaks.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to pick flowers? Or to really look at the sky? Or sit down with yourself and find out how you’re feeling about things? When was the last time you didn’t race around with a huge sack of things to do over your shoulder?

When was the last time you set off on your day to enjoy it rather than get through it? Setting off on your day with the intention of joy is painting your day a bright color. Too often you have painted your day gray, or you have painted it nothing, waiting for someone else to make your day something. Brighten your own day. It is yours, after all.

My children have too often been duty-bound, believing that they needed to do certain things to catch up. To catch up to what? To approval? Certainly not Mine. You have Mine, so you don’t have to wear yourself out for it.

There is some satisfaction in crossing off another thing on your list, but why, I ask, is your life so much of what has to be done? Too often your life has been a list of chores that have to get done and then be done again. I am not telling you to ignore responsibility. I am not telling you to ignore responsibility for the density around you, for dusting and mowing and cooking and hanging up your clothes. I am asking you to take responsibility for your joy. Your joy. Put joy at the top of your list. Find out how to dust and clean or add up figures and weed with joy.

You are not a robot. You are a Human being. I made you with joy for joy, yours and Mine. Fulfill My joy by making joy and having joy of your own.

Intend to enjoy. Decide to enjoy. Decide to steer your joy rather than await it or get through non-joy.

I am teaching you to live in the moment. The now of this moment does not contain worry. Worry is not of the present. Worry is for something later that you fear will befall, or it is pummeling your chest for something in the past that you interpret a certain way.

Will you please live your life rather than interpreting it?

Will you please enjoy the sights around you?

Will you please welcome all that enters your life today? Even in displeasure, surely there is something to make you smile.

Unscramble your day. Toss it up. Catch it. Delight in it.

Here is a day given to you for your pleasure. It is not given to you for your woe. Woe is not better than joy. It is not more worthy. Carrying a heavy load is not better than carrying a light one or having none and having your hands free. Have your heart free. Don’t let conscience hold you back from joy. Conscience can be a mind-set that denies you your birthright of joy. Reset yourself then. You are supposed to have joy. It is your duty to have joy. It is your obligation to enjoy. Put joy at the top of your list. Open yourself to it. Today I give you My joy.

God said:

Nothing has to be the way you think it does. It is all your attachment. You are even attached to your daily rituals. You rule yourself by some kind of law as to when you take your bath, what you eat for breakfast, what cup you drink from, when and what you pray. Your daily rituals are a hanging on. But what is it you are hanging on to when you lay your life out like that, as though it were an appointment book or a how-to list?

Your life is a platform, not a schedule. Your life is a rolling stone, not an immovable object. Your life is not lived ahead of time nor are there slots for you to fit into. Your life is not embossed. It is not laid out for you. It is lived.

It is a walk in an unknown woods, yet you convince yourself it is an ordered regimented route and that you know exactly which way to go. You have known exactly which way to go to prevent the opening of life.

This day before you has never been before.

It is not a book that you have read.

It is an unopened book.

I suggest you open it.

The cover of yesterday has already been closed.

Live life anew.

Cross your bridges when you come to them.

Put your schedules down.

Christ took his disciples out of their routines.

Routines are not sacrosanct.

Turn your life upside-down. Spring clean it. Empty your life out like a stuffed closet so there is room for you to move along. Upturn your life.

You like to be stuck. You like to stay the same. When you let go of arbitrary holds on you, you will not be so different as you fear. You will be more of you. You will be a larger picture. You will move into greatness by letting go of some paltry things. Did you really think that you rule your life? That you are to conduct the same series of events every day? Often what you call stability is immovability.

Move on. Move up. Blossom. Go forth. Go on a picnic. Unplan your day. Make it topsy-turvy. Have fun. Demolish and build anew.

Whatever you have planned for today, do something else. Walk a different way. Skip along. Pull the sun to you. Pick flowers. Don’t do what you think you have to do today. Try something else out. Don’t be conscientious for once. Be free. Allow yourself the freedom of today. Don’t think about it. Just know that today is a day you set sail on. Embark on today. Make today different. Make it a present you are going to open up and see what’s inside.

Depart from your schedule. Do something different. Do everything different. Find out who you are. Are you really a duty nurse or are you an explorer? What do you think would happen if you didn’t do today all the things you have relegated yourself to do? What if you took today off? What if you were absurd today instead of usual?

What if you were Columbus setting sail?

What if you were a discoverer?

Certainly there is something that you have not discovered yet. Have you been looking?

Discover yourself. Find out what a companion you can be to yourself. See how much fun you can be. How kind. Learn what it is to breathe and be not duty-bound.

Do something frivolous today. Unfold your life. Take away those neat pleats. Shake it up a little. Let the folds fall where they may.

Stay in your house, or go out, but branch out. You will be letting yourself blossom. Isn’t it time you had fun? Today is the day. I give it to you for your pleasure. I give it to you as a day to find out who you are.

God said:

Bespeak My love for you. Say it aloud. Say out loud right now:

“God loves me. He loves me just as I am. This is a miracle, but God is a Maker of Miracles. God sees Himself in me. He sees the beauty that emanates from Him in me. But God is no fool. He has not blinded Himself. He says it is my eyesight that needs to be corrected.

“What is it that God sees that I cannot?

“I can see the beauty in a rose, in a sunset or sunrise. I can see the beauty in a baby or a child. And I can see beauty in words that have been written by the pen of man. But did God Himself direct the pen and write the magnificent words and wisdom that are in literature and in men’s minds? He says He made the men, but it is hard for me to spot their beauty, and, hardest of all, to keep the idea of mine. But in books, I can see a glimpse of what God sees.

“And I can see God’s beauty in art that man has painted and in music that he has composed, but in the man himself, I am disappointed. I tend to see bodies before me rather than light. I tend to see the errors expressed in men rather than God’s art expressed in them.

“God has said that Human beings are His beloved creation, most beloved in the privilege that He has given us of becoming like Him. He has given us the privilege of choice, though sometimes it certainly seems to me that it is not privilege at all. He ordinated the animals of the earth in certain ways. Their range of thought and action is less than ours. He had such trust in us that He gave us the animals of the earth to tend with love and mercy, and yet I see more love and mercy from the animals of earth than I do from the men of earth. And yet God says He is not mistaken.

“Men war with each other. Even in their families they war. I am saddened.

“When I come to grips with my sorrow and despair on earth, I realize that I do not always value God’s creation. God created this wondrous earth, and I am blasé about it.

“Is that the big difference between God and me? That He values everything He has made, and I do not? If that is the case, then it has to be that I am not seeing well. God in all His majesty loves everyone and everything on earth, and I, in all my imperviousness do not. I do not think well enough of myself, and yet I often think more of myself than I do of someone else or everyone else.

“Yes, sometimes in my foolishness, I think I am wiser than other men. Sometimes in my foolishness, I think I am wiser than God. And yet God gave me discernment, and yet I am guilty of discerning.

“And sometimes I do not love even God. And yet what is my love worth anyway, here today and gone tomorrow. I am appalled at the puzzle God has given me.

“Sometimes I do not even believe that God loves me, for how could he?

“And yet I have an inkling of what God’s love is and what He means by everything. And so I cry out, ‘God loves me. He loves me as I am.’

“In the wilderness, I cry out to You, God above and God within, help me to say in truth that You are my love, and that I love You with all my heart. Help me to wrestle my doubt and pin it to the ground. I know, I know, it is my love lacking, not Yours. And yet you say I am not lacking love, but that You made me from Your love, and you made me Your love, and you say that I am love. I feel like I waste it, Your love that You made me of. Help me to recognize Your love in me, and to use it for Your benefit and for the benefit of all Human, very Human, men like myself.”

And now I, your God, say: My children, you are coming to Me. Even in the depth of your Humanness, you are advancing to Me.

Today I announced as though from your own mouth the true state of your affairs, and now you can never say that I do not know how you feel. Now, from this vantage point of acknowledgment of how you see and feel, you are in a position to race to Me.

Now We begin. Now the dismay is over. We are done with all that. Whatever you thought you were a minute ago, you are not now. Perhaps you never were. Perhaps you never were so wasteful of My love as you have thought.

Not a drop of My love is wasted. Not in you. Not anywhere. My love is Divine, and you are more than Human. You are not Human alone. Take your attention off the Human and put it on the Divine. My attention is on the Divine of you. Come along with Me.

God said:

That every thought, action, desire you have is for Me does not mean that you dissemble. You do not play a part. You do not act a role. What you really have to do is to take off all the roles you have assumed and be just the being of you that already exists. You are My reflection, and a reflection doesn’t perform. It just reflects. Whether the mirror is in a beautiful setting or in a basement, the mirror reflects. It knows not to pretend anything. A mirror that reflects never feels it is unworthy to reflect. Dusty or not, its purpose is to reflect, and it does that automatically without reservation.

Sometimes you think you have to be a perfect person in order to reflect Me. You think you have to perform good deeds and be utterly wonderful every moment to reflect Me. You will never be this outward person that you believe you ought to be. You will never truly be an assumed identity. Take your own. My child. My lovely imperfect child. Imperfect because you know not your perfection.

Perfection simply does not mean what you have thought. Perfection is not unattainable. Worldly perfection may be unattainable. But the perfection I speak of is absolutely yours. Stop thinking you need to be a perfect something. Start thinking that you are to reflect Me. As you are, you are to reflect Me. You will never have enough faith in yourself. Then have faith in Me. Have My faith in you.

We come to the secret of reflecting Me. Here it is: Put your attention on My love, and I will do the rest. That means I will inspire you to the rest. You do not have to order yourself into My reflection. You already are My reflection. What you have to stop doing is thinking you have to be somebody else before you can, in truth, reflect Me.

You are My chosen child. I chose and choose you. You are My choice. Just as you are, you are My choice. When your mind can accept that, you will melt into the beauty that I know you are. You don’t see your beauty. I see it. You see your imperfections, but I assure you that they are only on the surface, and the surface is not the content, extent, or context of Our love.

Be less conscious of your self and more conscious of Me. Not even of My Will. Just conscious of Me. Your awareness of Me alone will take you to new heights. When you have awareness of Me, what you have awareness of is My love for you. Your awareness of My love transfigures you. You rise out of the bog where you thought you were and belonged. You rise to where I am. Of course, I am with you in bog or not, but We’re talking about your perception.

You have misconceived yourself. You have deceived yourself, but you never can deceive Me into thinking you are less than what I made you. I am trying to undeceive you. What do you think enlightenment is but loss of deception? Do you begin to understand that this disparity in your appraisal of yourself and My conception of you is why you need to put your faith in Me? I have great faith in you. But My faith extends beyond trust. My faith in you is utter knowingness. It is fact. It is truth.

I know what I made when I made you. I don’t care about your position in the world. The world does not sway My perception. Don’t let it sway yours. You are not the names designated to you. High or low, you are not what the world thinks of you. You are exactly what My thoughts of you are, and you must begin now, not later, to think My thoughts and look at yourself with My eyes of love.
