God said:

Your heart is like the Sun that rises in the East, you realize this, don’t you?

Your heart is bright light. Your heart radiates its light. Its light falls on all. This is your heart’s nature. This is the nature of every heart. In the world you live in, sometimes you, My children, overlook the nature of your singular heart in an attempt to follow the world and so neglect the Truth of Your Own Heart.

Life in the world can make you profit-centered. In business as well as everything else, you want to be greater than profit-centered. Dealing with people is its own ball-game. You don’t stay the same. Your heart is the Sun. Let your heart radiate. Watch what you do with your life.

Don’t squint your eyes at people any longer. This means that you don’t look exclusively for people who contribute profit to you. When you look at people, you are not looking to specialize in those who bring you fame or access to others who profit you. You seek Being.

Monetary gifts are not the measure of people that you are to take. Some people have more financial worth than others. More financial worth is all that means. Of course, you don’t discount someone because he’s a millionaire. You don’t discount someone because he is not a millionaire either. The size of someone’s pocketbook isn’t meant to be your deciding factor when it comes to making friends and valuing people.

You do not waste your time. There is precious little time to simply enjoy those who come before you. Look not for ulterior motives when you make friends.

You are Greatness. You do not quite grasp this yet. Tell Me, dear children, do you really think that you, Who are My Creation, really aren’t much? Be clear now. What you are truly lacking is awareness. How can anyone in his right mind think My creation is just so-so or less than Greatness? Tell Me, what is the matter with you?

Tell Me, why do you focus on minute details when you could be comparing yourself to the Stars, the Moon, and the Sun? Is not the dew on the meadow enough to create a rhapsody? What are you missing? Have you never seen a baby or a puppy? What do you mean by not adoring and being amazed at the Creation of the World and the Lights within it? I placed a marvelous Creation in the world, and you are the Leaders of it. Well, who do you think sets the tone of the world?

You think I am filled with superlatives when I describe you, as if I am gushing and don’t know what I’m talking about. What I say is only a portion of your superlativeness. If I wrought the teletype through Morse, what in God's Name do you think? that you are less than the teletype to ooh and aah over?

You are beyond My dreams. You are My emissaries on Earth. What do you think a mother is? A father is? A child is? I ask My children to look for the best they can see or say.

I, God, might say in amazement, “Rosy cheeks, who would have conceived of rosy cheeks?”

You might counter: “Illness. God, Who would think of illness? You may not have created it, God, yet You allow it and appoint professors of it.”

God said:

Fatigue is an idea. It is a loaded idea. It carries a lot of baggage with it. It is rumored that you are not supposed to get tired, as though something is wrong if you get tired. You earn your tiredness, beloveds.

Our dear animals get their sleep, why not you?

Sometimes you give the impression that you look at getting enough rest as an imposition and insignificant next to whizzing around the planet.

Breathing is not meant only for exhale. There is also inhale. Is one better than another? Are they in competition?

You fill your car’s gas tank. You don’t take a dim view of your car’s needing gas. Hmm, come to think of it, once in a while you may complain that it’s using too much gas.

You don’t object to refilling your glass of water.

You eat often enough. You accommodate filling your tummy.

What exactly is it you resist about going to bed early, as if it were a sacrifice? Well, then, consider rest as an altar. I am with you in sleep as well as on the dance floor.

Rest is as important as running around out there.

You spend money. It is dollars and cents – and common sense - to know you have to fill the coffers.

A gum-ball machine has to be refilled. What good is it on empty?

You are entitled to rest. Rest is equivalent to oiling your gun. Just do it. Don’t procrastinate. Be glad to rest. There is a tendency for your mind to say one thing and your body another.

Respect your body.

You can’t be only get-up-and-go.

Prime the pump.

Picture your day beginning with the Sun’s Rising over the Horizon. Let Us say you see half a sun, yet a young child with his crayons inevitably draws a Whole Circle of Sun.

Who is happier, the child artist who sees a Whole Sun, or the adult who pictures half a Sun, as though the Sun were cut in half at the horizon?

May the Sun shine on you today. May you get outside today so the Sun touches you, and so you may grow strong from the Sun and brighten - not only your corner of the world - but the whole world. As the Sun shares its light with the whole Universe, so do you.

How happy I am that I thought of One Sun to brighten the world by day and One Moon to reflect the Sun’s light by night.

You create when the Bright Light of the Sun enters your mind. What I have created and what you now create in your life don’t come in little steps but all at once. I created as a whole. I did not take tiny steps. The Sun didn’t grow in increments. It burst forth all at once. Creativity is not of details. Creativity is of Wholeness.
 
Creation wasn’t added onto. Creation appears complete in all its glory. Evolution and creativity are not the same, and yet evolution was built-in as well. When it comes to life, evolution comes in stages. Evolution is built-in, and, yet, evolution follows.

Mostly, My children see Me as an ongoing Complaint Department or as a Dear Lovelorn columnist or a Welfare Department.

There is a story of a young man who said he would dedicate himself to Me if I would grant him a special favor this one time. As the story goes, I helped out, and the young man who begged for an answer to his question then found a loophole to get out of his promise. I forgot what the loophole was. Of course, I never asked for his promise, nor is such a promise required.

I do not ask you to be devoted to Me as a kind of return on My investment. It is in your best interest to remember that I am here and that I love you. It is in your best interest to know this. I ask no promises of you. It is My desire that you go for happiness.

Consider Me the Tour Guide to Happiness. I beckon you to happiness. This Way to Happiness. I point the way. You are welcome on My bus, yet by no means do you have to get on. You don’t have to. You have choice. Remember, I give you Free Will. It is yours. Free Will is not a promise I make. It is already done. You are the object of this game We call Life. You are also the subject.

You can take the Game of Life lightly. Life is not quite so serious as you have made it. Of course, you may well want to argue this with Me. You may well want to show Me that life is very serious indeed. I understand your point of view. This is one way to look at life. This view is a good way to make suffering a sure thing.
