Whatever on earth inspires you, know that it is I. Art, music, friendship, love, nature, science, embroidery — I am behind them all. They are all cover-ups for Me. Beneath them all I am. They are messengers drawing you to Me. I am the surprise behind the curtain.

Whatever inspires you on earth is a glimpse of Me.

Be inspired to find Me. Look everywhere. Am I not in the moving branches of trees? Am I not in the wind? In the sky that gazes upon the trees? In the Sun above that brightens and nourishes the trees?

Am I not the sunlight that shines on you?

Am I not your crowning glory?

Am I not the inspirer of everything? And are you not My inspiration?

I did not sacrifice you to earth. I carefully placed you here, complete with instructions on how to get back. I am included in your instructions. What drawer have you perhaps put Me in?

Take Me out.

You cannot truly lose your instructions, but, anyway, I will give them again.

I am encoded in your heart. Press your hand to your heart right now, and you will find Me right where I have always been, waiting for your attention to return to Me.

If I am in your heart, I am in every heart.

If I am in your heart, I am in every cell of your body, for I am the God of Life.

Made in My image, you contain Me. You are not just a drawing of Me. You are a true reflection, only you have let other things get in the way of your mirror. You may not have put them there, but yet they are yours to put aside.

You are My image in a clear pool of Light. This may be hard for you to see because, like white on white, light on light is not always discernible. It may be necessary to shift the angle from which you look.

Light shines through leaves. Do you think that My light cannot shine through you?

Do you really think that you are dense matter and that My light cannot penetrate or emanate? What folly is this? You are My light made visible. My light can shine through anything. My light diaphanous shines through you.

You may need bigger eyes to see. Openness will make your eyes bigger. Of course, your heart and eyes are connected. Everything is connected, and you are connected to Me. My reflection falls on you.

Oh, beloveds, if you would only know Our bonds of love. You are the certificate of Our love. You are the evidence of it. You are My appearance on earth, don't you know that?

Christ knew he was. Buddha and all the others knew that. Secure in that knowledge, they could walk the earth and deliver My light to all. More than their words, more than their appearance, more than their presence — it was My Presence that they gave. They gave only Me. They gave My light to My light. They saw well. They saw only My light, and that is what they gave.

And that is what you are to do. First, see My light within you. My light is coursing up your spine right now. My light flashes from your fingertips, from your eyes. My light emanates from every pore. What do you think your pure aura is but My light?

There are many angels who walk the earth, and I am telling you, all who read this, that you are one of them. All angels come from Heaven, and from Heaven you came, and now Heaven you reveal.
