A Rich Man

God said:

Who is your Provider?

It is not the one who pays you a salary nor is it the governor of your province.

Who is it from Whom all gifts come? Who writes all the checks, sets food on your table, gives you transportation? Why, everything in the whole concrete world is in service to you and therefore to Me. Yet I am the Service Provider. You serve, and you are served. I serve and am served.

There is no beginning nor ending to love and life. It was ever so. From the moment My thought of you occurred, we served each other the tidbits of life, and We serve each other still.

The flowers in your garden serve you, and you serve them. Even if your service is merely walking past the roses, you are serving them. Of course, you receive more service than you give. This is how it is, beloveds.

So then, do not feel you are owed. The Universe does not owe you a living, although it gives you one anyway. There is no way that you can give as much as you have been given. There is no counting to be reckoned.

The gifts of the Universe are for you to accept gladly. Your acceptance is your giving. It is a great thing to accept that which is given to you.

All of life is in service to you, and you are in service to all of life. This is not obligation. This is a blessing. Serve in love. Do not undertake obligation. Undertake love.

The greatest energy source is love. It is the only energy source. Call it solar, or call it oil, it is love. Dry or wet, it is love.

If there were no resistance to love in the world, there would be no friction in any aspect of life. There would be no obstacles, no frustration. They would be foreign to you. They are foreign to you; that's why they obstruct. Without obstruction there is flow. The antidote to obstruction is love.

Accept love, and you have given it.

It is not a production to give love. It is not a performance. It is a simple radiation from you. You have experienced that when someone is angry, even when they keep still and don't say anything, their anger is nevertheless radiated. You have been the radiator of anger as well as the observer and recipient of it. If such a paltry thing as anger can radiate, what do you think love can do? Simple love with a small l is enough. It is enough, and it is all there is. It is the truth of all regardless of appearance.

Don't be thinking: "What does God know? He sits up in the clouds. He doesn't know what it is to be in pain and what it is to watch others in pain."

There is nothing I do not know. I emphasize in My teachings what it is that you must know, and you have to know love just as well as you know anything else. You have to know love better than you know anything else. In fact, you must step over everything else and get right to love. If you wish to get out of the suffering mode, and you want the world to get out of the suffering mode, you must change your perspective. You don't really think I have to change Mine, do you? Would you really prefer that My perspective be less than it is?

There is nothing I have not given you. You have all the love in the world. What will you do with it?

Even if you believe you were given only ten percent of what you should have been given, what are you going to do with this ten percent? If you had ten percent of the gold in the world, would you not know you were a rich man?
