Sometimes you are hungry, yet you do not know what exactly it is that you are hungry for. You may think of chocolate pudding. You love chocolate pudding, yet chocolate pudding may not be what will satisfy you today. You may think of banana cream pie, yet that's not it. You may suggest all your favorite desserts, and not one of them will satisfy a particular longing that possesses you that you can't quite put your finger on. A taste is missing today, yet you don't know what it is.

You may feel something missing from your life as a whole, and you don't know what it is. You are beginning to feel that there is nothing that will satisfy you, or, if something exists that will satisfy you, you don't know its name. You can't be sure that this deep and deeply hidden desire does exist, and if it exists, does it exist on this plane of existence, and, furthermore, does it exist for you?

Yet everything that you see on this Plane of Earthly Existence comes from somewhere deeper. Everything delicious here started from a deeper higher place than Earth. Life itself is not really made of dust. It is made of an essence. It started from a seed that comes from deeper than the soil. Notice the commonality that the English words -- soil and soul – share. Regardless, it is from the subtler invisible that all the visible is seen.

There is always more that you have not yet seen. Perhaps it has not yet been born, or, perhaps, you simply haven’t seen it as yet. It's more than possible that your unnamed appetite will find the unseen for you.

Make your life sweet. Make your life like amber honey dripping from a spoon. Sweeten your life. Set out to sweeten your life and the lives of others. Have this as your intention – to make life more than palatable. Have your intention to raise life, yours and others – delicious and delightful.

No more desiring just to get through life without agony. Oh, no, life is meant to be sweet like cream, and sweet like blueberry pie, and sweet like strawberry short cake, sweet like your favorite cookies hot from the oven, sweet like nougat, sweet like your dreams of good fortune.

Let your sweet dreams come to the surface.

Raise the ante of your pot of sweetness.

As you think of this sweet delight now, does your mouth begin to water?

Never again look at the delicacies in the bakery window of life and think they are not for you. All the sweetness in the world is for you. All the delicacies have been whipped up for you. All the treasures in Heaven are for you.

Your life is meant to be made up of more than stale bread crusts. Everyone's life is meant to be made up of sweeter than you imagine. Even if you have been raking in sweetness, there is more rushing to you. Get ready.

Do you sense the aromas wafting their way to you?

God said:

Many of My children have all that they need in the physical world -- and more.

This could be you. You just may not have enough of everything you want to suit your taste. Yes, it is built-in that you desire more and more. At the same time, desiring more is not meant to be the same as having to have and, thus, have you star in discontent.

You have shelter, you have food, you have at least some love. You just don't have all you want of what you want when you want it, for your ambitions may be greater than your hand can reach.

You may want fish right from the sea, yet you live inland. Perhaps what you really want is to move to the coast. It's fine to have desires. Know what it is you really want.

There are also many in the world who possess far less than you. Many who possess less than you may also be more satisfied with what they have. It is also possible that others with less may perhaps also be more generous than you are able to feel at present.

Sometimes you are so smitten to buy something on a shelf in a store -- your eyes glaze over.

You may be flush with the desire to obtain more. In your terms, wanting more often equates to needing more. Beloveds, desire is one thing. Neediness is another. Having to have makes you needy. Being needy doesn't paint a good picture of yourself. It paints a poor picture. Needy is not the way to think of yourself.

To be content may well be a greater need than all the items on your list.

Let’s face it. Most of the time you fear life, and too often you look at the down side. Here is the sort of caterwauling that I hear from you:

"What will happen if I lose my job? What if I get evicted from my home? What if I lose my insurance?"

Whatever your worries may be, there is something you fear losing. For you, life is often a game you play against betrayal. Someone, or life, is going to take something away from you. You live in fear.

Here’s what to do. Change the game. Instead of living in fear of loss, be glad for what you have now. Be glad. Be glad for this meal. Be glad for this day at work. Be glad for your home. Bless where you live when you come home, and bless where you work. Bless.

To be glad is another way to say to be grateful. To be grateful is another way to say to count your blessings. There has been enough counting your fears.

Certainly, it takes courage to live in life, for life can tip over. Life can knock you out of your element. Life can also reach new heights. Sure, anything in life can reverse itself.

What is so difficult about being optimistic? Is being pessimistic a better idea? So then you can proudly say you are realistic? Where does that take you, beloveds? Being realistic is like pulling your own hair and then crying that it hurts.

You are so on the verge of a new discovery. You are on the cusp of a giant leap upward and forward. You do not have to hunt for it, this leap. You will simply see it. You will see the high point of your life right in front of you. It will be stunningly joyful. And off you go.

You are going to know what happiness is. How happy you will be. How you will laugh. How life will sustain your laughter. You will fly to new heights in laughter. You will join Me in laughter.

Tons of weight will fall off your shoulders, and you will be as light as air. You will fly to happiness. You will be an angel from afar who picks yourself up and soars in the blue Heavenward. You will know Who you are.

All your life, you have yearned to be as light as air. You always knew that heaviness was not for you. Your spirit was never meant to be kept down. Your spirit has been meant to be at your prow, definitely not weighted down as if you were ballast to keep Earth down. You, who are a Messenger of God. Of course, soar more and more again and again. There are no limits on you. No longer does anything hold you back from flying high above the world.

What is happening is that you are removing all shackles. It's not exactly that you are removing them. They fall off from you on their own. It is preposterous for you to be shackled. It is the absurdity of a lifetime. Shackles fall from your feet and disappear forever more. Now you can pick yourself up and fly high. You are above the Earth now.
