Although I talk here in general terms, I talk specifically to you. If you are reading this, I speak to you. If you are hearing this, I speak to you. You are all so intimately connected to one another and to Me. My words will strike a chord in you, and you will be struck by something in what I say.

And every day I say the same. I say to be the love that you are. I say to be My love. I say We are One, and you and I are never isolated. We are part of everything in known and so-called unknown existence. We are part and we are Sum and Total. We are part of the world and We are all of eternity. We meet all at once. We meet right now and forever. How beautiful are We in Our Wholeness!

What else do I always tell you?

I tell you to follow your heart. This is not always the lazy way or the easy way. But it is the only way — to follow your heart of hearts which is Mine deep within yours. Following your heart, as I have said, is not spinning your wheels or following this whim or that. Following your heart is not always for your pleasure because following your heart is not always what the world would ask of you. You follow a bigger heart than your own. You follow the truth of My heart within yours. It is not following your heart to do something that you feel to be wrong. No matter what glory may accompany an action less than the truth of your heart, too big a price is exacted. You do not need the glory of the world to be gloriful. Only truth do you need for that.

I tell you to be kind to one another for all it is worth. It is worth a great deal. When you cannot feel love in your heart for one another, you can still be gentle and proffer kindness. Your kindness does not have to be noted. It just must be given.

Do not think that you are better than another, even when you give kindness to one who may not have been kind to you. If you have bigger awareness, you have bigger awareness. It does not mean you are better. It means you are more fortunate. It means you are more fortunate than you were another time. My blessings go out to all alike. Some are able to pick up My blessings more easily than another. If you are, that is your good fortune. Others have theirs in their good time. You are equal. You are not mightier than another. You just may notice more.

You never take advantage of another because that is cheating yourself. You cheat yourself from the opportunity to do what feels right to your heart. Life is not something to sneak around about. Life is in the open and it is for the taking, not the hiding.

Every day I tell you that you are worth a lot, much more than you think, much more than you know. That is the mystery of life, that one so gifted would not recognize his gifts and avail the world of them, that one so gifted as you would deny your gifts. Notice your gifts by giving them. Then they are in front of you, and you can see them. All you are to do is to pass on gifts that have come from Me to you. You are not a smuggler of My gifts. You are a forthright giver of them.

And what else do you remember that I tell you every day?
