The world! There is nothing like the world. It is gold. It is opportunity. It is remarkable. Who could have thought of it? I did. I gave you the world to house your glory in. I gave you a splendid gift. You were not given the world as a trial. The world exists to serve you and serve you well. The world is not an imposed sentence on you.
 
Look at the world as a playground. There is so much in the world for you to partake in and enjoy. Why not enjoy? Why not gain and give joy in the world? Let the bad dream go. Let life in the world be like a Christmas tree and light it up! Sometimes you have to turn the switch on. You have to switch yourself on.
 
Life in the world is not a penance. Therefore, if you are in a painful mode, it is up to you to get out of it. It is up to you to get out of the bed you lie on now.
 
If it is a bed of nails, get up. Get a good mattress to lie on, or lie on the Good Earth. Embrace the Earth, and embrace life on Earth. What a gift I give to you. Receive it well. The world is filled with all sorts of wondrous things. There is nothing like life on Earth.
 
It’s like you have been given a huge department store to roam in. There are so many wondrous things to light you up. You can pick out what you like. If you aren’t interested in one floor, you can go up a flight to another. This department store is endless, filled with more and more. There is no department named Pain. That is an illusion of illusions. It is something you made up. Go where you would like to be.
 
You are in the process of meeting yourself. It’s true. Wherever you go, you meet yourself.
 
You have many extremes. You bounce from one end of the spectrum to another. Why not bounce for joy! You are alive in a fabulous world. You have a chance of a lifetime. There is always more of you to discover on your way to Me. You have hardly begun to know who you are. Even in terms of the world, you are still a beginner. No matter how savvy you may be, you don’t know anything yet. There is more ahead of you, always more, much more. If you lived in your body for ten thousand years, you are still a beginner.
 
It’s a good thing to be a beginner. It’s a good thing to reach the depths of yourself as well as the heights. You are a treasure of treasures in My heart. I keep you in My heart for My joy and for your safe-keeping. Whatever you may think, We, you and I, are in a constant embrace. There is no separating Us. In Truth, We cannot lose each other, not even for a moment.
 
There is no waiting in line for Me. You came to the finishing line long ago. You are right here, right with Me. I tell you Truth, and you tell Me stories. We are entwined. It is not even that you sit on My lap or that We are side-by-side. You are in My heart. My heart is yours, and We are One wonderful heart. There is One Heartbeat, and it is Ours. It is not even Ours. It is One Heartbeat. It is called Love.
