Sometimes I have the impression that you think it is honorable to devaluate yourself, or dishonorable to value yourself more. I am not telling you to swagger, but I do tell you to honor yourself more. Honor your place in the world. Honor the space you occupy.

I am talking to everyone. Even if you swagger, it doesn't mean you know your true value. When you swagger, ego has come to the front, noting that you needed to bolster your sense of self. Of course, ego is a blown-up balloon. I am talking of your Earthly and Heavenly value to Me in the cosmos. You are an under-perceiver in the world, and therefore you underestimate yourself.

Of course, you are quite a contradiction. Sometimes you think you are the cat's meow, and sometimes you feel you are nothing at all. Your value to Me does not go up and down, for I see more than the eye can see. My value of you is consistent, and My perception is true. You are a great soul on Earth. It cannot be otherwise.

Do not think that you are misplaced, or that you have no business being on Earth, that you are a waste of time or just putting in your time because somehow you happen to find yourself adrift on Earth, not knowing how you got here nor why nor anything at all.

Know now. I sent you. You agreed to it, but I sent you. I am hard to refuse, beloveds. I had a mission for you, and so I sent you to fill a need on the globe called Earth. I knew the exact place to plant you, and I planted you. Of course, you move around at My behest too. You did not have to stay planted. I set you down where I set you down, and I whispered in your ear: "You can be anything you want to be, and you can be anywhere you want. Always remember that you are My love on Earth. Never forget Who sent you and why. Even when you think you've forgotten, remember."

And so, there is a still small voice within you that knows you are an angel on Earth, perhaps misguided, but an angel nevertheless. Not a fallen angel, no, but a sleeping angel, one just beginning to wake up. Ready or not, you are awaking, and you are rising. Rise now too in your perception. You are not, even in your darkest moments, what you have seen yourself as. You perhaps saw yourself as low when you are high. You are high in My estimation, and I am never wrong.

I planted roses on Earth. I know what roses look like. I planted a rose of a Human Being on Earth when I planted you, and I know Who you are, and I ask you now to start recognizing Who you are. Will you hear Me? Will you listen? Will you kindly change your perception of yourself and align it with Mine?

If you are not happy, it is a sure sign you need to change your self-perception. How can you be happy when you drag yourself around in heavy chains? The chains are false, beloveds. You can rise. That is golden light around you that you see as iron, or that you see as tin, or as debris. I placed that gold around you as an amulet so you would wake up and remember Whose Being you are and Who sent you to Earth and why. I sent you to brighten the world.

Never mind what you have been doing. Brighten the world now. Come, walk in My shoes.
