From nothingness comes everything. From an ocean comes waves. From life comes your life, comes the world, comes stories, comes adventure, comes love evident. From love comes love. Love is. Love is predominant on Earth. It cannot be otherwise.

The essence of you cannot be otherwise than it is. It cannot be otherwise than I say, and I say you are My beautiful child. What you are on the surface, however, that can change. It is for that change that you are living on Earth. You have already changed immeasurably, that of you which is the person who runs around on Earth, making stabs at how to live this valued opportunity for living life that I have given you. Just think what I have given you.

You are not a pig in a poke, beloveds. You are a semblance of Myself. Born in My image, you exist to make your world life and the life of your soul coincide. There has been seeming distance between the two. You know that, yet you can be anything you want. To date you have not yet become all you want. And yet today you are closer. There is not a day in which you have not grown closer to the true image of what you are.

You were given great promise. Now it is up to you to fulfill this promise. From this moment on, you are going to spatter life with joy, with love, with goodness and mercy for all. So be it. So have I asked, and so will you. You may say you don't know what I want of you, yet you do know. Even when you fall short, you know. And now you will no longer disappoint yourself, for now you take the bull of life by the horns.

It is not far-fetched to say that you want to make life on Earth beautiful. It is not far-fetched to say that you want to give supreme love, to say you want to bless the Earth and all its inhabitants with My Presence in you. You are God in absentia. You are God ever-present. You are the evidence that I AM. It is you I ask to take My place.

How do you do this, you wonder. I will tell you how. Really, you can forget what I said about your taking My place. You can forget all about yourself. But what you must remind yourself is that every single person you meet, every single person you pass in the street, every single person, no matter to what extent your dealings, every single one is I. I come before you in many disguises. Don't be fooled by disguises. Do not be beguiled into thinking that anyone before you is anyone but I. I am before you. No one else is.

And how would you treat Me? How would you treat Christ or Buddha or any of the Great Ones? This is how you must treat everyone. Remind yourself to see everyone before you as an exponent of Me. That is how YOU truly become an exponent of Me. How you see is what you are. No matter what creature you see before you, know it is I. How simple. What foolproof advice I give.

The very next person you see is a manifestation of Me.

How would you greet Me, beloveds? How do you greet Me? Rise to your feet and make Me welcome. No matter in whose form I AM, make Me welcome. This one thing, this one remembrance will raise your life to new heights. Never mind what someone thinks of you. Mind how you think of others. I, God, will appear before you today. And how will you greet Me?
