Because you are in the midst of the Majesty of Creation, you may miss out on seeing what you are in the middle of. You may think you are in a hodge-podge. You may not see beyond the brambles that are in front of you. Look at the rose, beloveds. Look at the rose.

Be not so busy with the daily upkeep of life that you forego its beauty. You may be so involved with the exigencies of life that you forget to look at the upside of Creation. Of course, if you are always looking down, you are not looking up.

Look up now and begin to see the graciousness and flowering of life on Earth. Cameras have noticed the world’s beauty. You may have been too busy to. Even your posture may show your downheartedness. Your whole life depends on where you look. I ask you to put your shoulders back and be aligned with the beauty and benevolence of life on Earth. If you have thought life is a downer, that is your privilege, yet have you not ever made a mistake before, and this is a big one.

How can you not see the gorgeous opportunity that life on Earth is, and that you are? You are blessed to be alive on Earth. Have you thought otherwise? Have you been in mourning? Have you rued being born on Earth? How did you learn to feel that way? If life on Earth seems like a burden to you, look again. Take a new look. You are not here on Earth to carry burdens. Let not your thoughts be burdens.

There is more to life than the eye meets. If this is the case, then start looking to where you have not been looking. Have you not searched for your glasses or keys or a book? They were right in front of you, yet you did not see them. You overlooked them. They were right there, and you didn’t see. This happens.

In terms of missing out on the beauty of the world, you must not let this happen. Your whole life depends upon how you see it.

You are a complainer or you are an appreciator. Choose.

Have you seen an ocean? Please do not complain of the sand on the beach or complain that water is wet. Look further. Waves may come and go, and yet beauty remains. It has been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is not always the case. Beauty can stand independent of who is looking at it. Beauty can stand on its own.

Ugliness and hardship are in the eye of the beholder. What have your eyes been trained to see? If you have been trained to see flaws, train yourself anew. It is essential that you do this. This is the essence of your life We are talking about.

From whence comes your unhappiness? From whence comes your happiness? A lot depends upon where you are looking. No one is grateful for a sore toe, yet you can be grateful that you have toes.

Can you in good conscience deny what God has created? I created you. Must you in false modesty deny the beauty of yourself? Created by a Master Craftsman, what can you be but beautiful? How your hands bend and move, beautiful. The color of your eyes, beautiful. The beat of your heart, beautiful. Unimaginable, isn’t it? The bending of a knee, beautiful. The whole concept of you is beautiful. Young or old, you are beautiful. Never mind what the magazines say. You are beautiful as you are. You are far more than outside. Furthermore, you are My connection to the world at large.

Think of it. I created you. Did you think you created yourself? Did you think it is a small thing that you were born a human being? Do you not know that you are one of My miracles?
