Welcome Me, and you will welcome the rest of the world. Be the host who welcomes Me as a guest and not as a benefactor. I am a Benefactor, but I am more than that. Welcome Me not solely as someone who assists you, but welcome Me as someone you assist. You can further Me along. You can be My benefactor. You can be the server of Me.

You can roll out the red carpet for Me.

Instead of expecting grants from Me, grant Me you. Grant Me your willingness. Grant Me a favor. Your willingness is the favor you grant Me.

Favor Me. Be open to Me. Consider that I am the Guest you have been waiting for. Consider that you have a welcome mat out front for Me that says, "Welcome, God!" Consider that you have a flag out front for Me that waves My name vertically in the breeze. The color of the flag is gold as the Sun beams on it by day. By night the God flag is silver as the Moon shines its light on it. Or cast Me any color you like.

Announce Me to yourself.

Wake up to Me.

I have sent you many signs announcing My arrival.

I am a Guest you have harbored in your attic, or perhaps in your basement. You haven't quite known what to do with Me or Who I was. Perhaps you thought I was a poor relative or a beggar in the night. But I know who you are. I know where I am and whom I am with. I know I am with you. I ask you to be with Me.

Be with Me squarely, not obliquely.

Be forthright with Me.

Be My guard. Be My sentry. Be My watch who guards My presence.

Enough of your being the thief who waits for Me in the dark to steal a wish! No longer are you to be the beggar who comes to Me with his hand open. No longer are you to see yourself as one who needs. Now see yourself as one who gives.

Now see yourself as one whose hand is out to bestow. A handshake with Me will do. Let's shake hands on it. We are compadres. We are kin. We are old friends, and We are getting reacquainted. You have known Me for a long time, which means forever, and Our mutual knowing continues forever. We have met and We meet again. We re-meet. Our meeting is sweet. Every time We meet it is as if for the first time. It is like that because there is no time. We have met once and We have never parted. Only you let Me out of your view. You were blinded. You blinded yourself.

You are walking with Me, and you hold My hand, and you think you walk alone. You believe in loneliness but not in Oneness. You departed from your recognition of Me, but you cannot depart from Me.

Welcoming Me to your door is remembering that I am here with you. The willingness to remember is good enough. The willingness is already remembering. It is a leaning towards Me Who leans towards you.

It is not that you brace yourself against Me. It is that you stand tall with Me. Our eyes connect and Our love holds Us in place. Our love straightens your back and heals your heart. Remembering Me is the healing of your heart.

But remember Me for My sake. Make Me happy. Make Me your emblem, and be an emblem of Me. Be the truth of yourself, which is the same as to say the truth of Me.
