The world is fraught with what you call problems because problems are what you focus on. Is that not so?

Sometimes you feel that life is a mined field fraught with danger, and your attention is on where the mines may be and which ones have exploded and which ones may tomorrow. Between the mines, grass and daisies grow, but your attention is on the danger, past, present, and future.

Till the fields of flowers.

Perhaps put a little less attention on yourself. You think you think about the world, but mostly your thoughts are on you, what you want, and what you yet don't have. Put more attention on what you have and what you can give and do for others. Happy are you who does not always put your unfulfilled desires first.

Do you think you are here for your individuality alone? Do you not know that you are here for others? Do you not know that you are here on earth to fulfill My desires? By all means, have your cup of tea and then graciously get up and see what you can do to uplift those who walk beside you.

It would seem that your attention has been primarily on yourself, on danger and self-gratification. But who can be satisfied with selfishness, fear, and candy? Would you not like to read a bigger book of life? You have read the little children's books, and now you are ready to read the larger ones. Perhaps you are to be the illustrator. Perhaps you will paint pictures. Certainly you are an illustrator of life. Take on bigger projects.

Your life is not for you alone. Be conscious that you are here for what perhaps needs to be given.

If you are a street sweeper, you can sweep love across the universe. But if you are a street sweeper, and you think that all you are for is the drudgery of sweeping streets, how happy can you be? When you think about how you feel, how happy can you be?

There is much talk of being a co-creator with Me. Well, what do you create? What would you co-create with Me? Littleness or greatness? Co-creation with Me has to be bigger than what transpires in your life today. It has to be bigger than what transpires in your house. It has to be bigger than what transpires in the world.

When your attention is on smallness, you have removed yourself from love and the universe.

When you give love, your attention is on greatness, and the universe is uplifted.

What is the direction of your thoughts? What are your desires today? Make them bigger. Let's create wondrousness today, you and I. Let's go beyond the boundaries of the world. Let's capture everyone in Our path, and Our path is love. Is there another path you would like to walk on?

Step out of the mine fields, and let Me lead you to grand prairies. Let Me lead you to ocean shores. Dance with Me across the mighty main and reach other shores, undiscovered yet known. Leave your little self behind. It dares not travel very far with Me, but the greatness of you has been ready and waiting for a long time. You have had your bags packed, but you waited in the wings, waiting for Me to approach you.

Step off your front steps now, and you will find that you are walking with Me. We have been walking together since before time, and We have never stopped. But when you have been looking at your watch and thinking about yourself, you forget where We are. Remember now, and come walk with Me.
