There are many themes I give to you often. I say you are perfect to Me as you are. I say you have to let go of the past. I say you have to think new thoughts. I say to you that you have to move on in your life, and I say to you that all is well. What are you to make of My advice that may seem contradictory and equivocal to you? How can I call you perfect as you are and also tell you to move on and to change? How can I tell you to let loose of the past and start thinking and living in new ways? And then how can I tell you that all is well when life sure doesn’t appear that way to you?

All is true, beloveds.

You are perfect today. I do love you as you are. I also do ask you to grow. Would you really want to recline in the same bed you made today and not move on to greener pastures tomorrow? There is not a discrepancy between what you want and I want.

You are irrefutably My beloved child. Whatever you do or don’t do, I love you. I see My light in you. I see Myself in you. There is nothing I can do about My love for you. I do not withhold it from you nor do I withhold from Myself the joy of loving you.

At the same time, I do not ask you to stay as you are. I say today is a new day. A new sun is dawning. And you are to dawn as well.

I suggest that you intend to grow closer to Me. And then leave it to Me. I suggest that you desire and then let go of the desire.

I do not ask you to whip your life into place, I ask you to leave your life to Me, and yet I ask for a little effort from you, very little, almost no effort at all. I do not tell you to rest on your laurels. There are times when I ask you to make conscious deliberate change. At the same time, I do not ask you to run a race.

When you catch yourself reacting in old ways, getting angry perhaps, feeling put upon perhaps, or feeling vain or demeaned, I ask you to reconsider. I ask you to remind yourself: “I act in new ways now.” Perhaps you will ask yourself: “How would God like me to handle this?” And maybe you know, or maybe you don’t know. And if you do know, maybe you act on it, or maybe you don’t. In any case, I do not ask you to beat yourself up about it nor do I ask you to start crowing about your steps forward. I ask you to take yourself in your stride. I ask you to take life in your stride.

Your life is in My hands, and, nevertheless, your life is your responsibility. I call you to action, and I call you to relax. I call you to be content, and I call you to come out of your comfort zone. I call you to action, but I do not call you to revolution.

I call you to take it easy, and I call you to not take it too easy. I tell you that there is nothing for you to do, and I tell you there is something for you to do.

I do not tell you to focus on improving yourself. At the same time I ask you not to be altogether laissez-faire when it comes to you. I ask you to rely on Me, and to also rely on yourself. This is a good combination. Invite this combination to you.
