Lift up your eyes to Mine. Do not be shy. Look Me right in the eye and say loudly your love for Me and for all I have created. Say loudly your love for yourself who art the fruit of My vine.

As glorious as am I, as glorious are you. This is what you don't get.

You may see yourself as a mongrel when, in truth, you are a purebred through and through. Anyway, except for physical characteristics and the value the world puts on breeds, a mutt is absolutely as wonderful as a purebred. He loves the same or sometimes more. Whatever value dogs put on one another, it is not on breed. It is not on size. It is not on physical possessions.

Nor do dogs foist the world's values onto themselves. They know their worth. And they know your worth, and it is far more than you have deigned to give to yourself. A dog values your heart. It is not even that. A dog just loves, and you are there. A dog knows he is for love, and he loves from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail.

Sit up straight and look Me in the eye. See what I see. Don't see what I don't see. I don't see guilt. I don't see recrimination.

So what do I see. I see you. I see the golden light that you embody and reflect and are never without. You are My partner in love. Let Us embrace. Let Us shake hands. We are allies. We are on the same side of the fence.

Let Us start a fan club. We love love. We love. We are love. I am love, and so are you the same. Let's proclaim love. Let's sing its name from the rafters.

Let Us indemnify love. Let's stamp love approved. Let's pull love out of the corners. No allowing yourself to hide love any longer. Love has been found, and love will be known. Let's start the chapter of a fan club. We will start where We are, and, before you know it, love will have taken over the world and will never step down.

Who will be first? Who will unabashedly stand up and say: "I am love. God and I are love. God and I are partners in love. Come join. God loves love. Don't you too love love? What is so fair as a day in June? I will tell you what is. Love is as fair as a day in June. There is not one thing that is not love. So love is universal. Love is Unity. Love is Oneness, Wholeness, Vastness. I align with love. What else is there for me to align with?"

You have perhaps demanded too much from yourself. You want to be the fairest of all, the smartest of all, the most active of all. The fact of the matter is that you want to be tops in everything! When you fall short, you may feel contempt for yourself that you haven't lived up to your ideal. What you don't fathom is that your ideal does not require you to be the belle of the ball or the brightest light or the most anything.

At the present time, when you finish one task, you are onto another, and you don't exactly have mercy on yourself. You, who do not expect enough, are, at the same time, over-demanding, impossible to please, way too hard on yourself. You have exceeded yourself when it comes to demands. You have been a slow learner when it comes to accepting yourself and being glad that you are My beloved as you are.
