HL #3672 The Flute of God's Heart

Dear Gloria
I don't quite understand the very first sentence of this Heavenletter. What is the specific meaning of "stretch" in this context? And I am not comfortable with the "that which":
"There is no stretch in your being that which you already are". To shine fully as you are requires only that you lift the veils of ignorance that have covered up your natural beauty. It is you who covered up your beauty. Now it is you who has to remove the splinter from your own eye.
Thanks

Some might think that it is a stretch to say that we human beings are divine. I believe God is saying it isn't a stretch at all to acknowledge what we already are -- his Divine creation.
I don't know what to do about that which we already are. Oh, yes, we could say: "There is no stretch in your being what you already are." I'm guessing that the use of that which may emphasize it. Only a guess. In any case, the meaning itself is the same.
I love how you express that which (HAHA) is not altogether clear to you. There must be something valuable in the process, don't you think?
P.S. Don't you love the title of this one? I hope it's the one I think it is!
God bless you.
With love,
Gloria

When I say that "I am not comfortable with", I mean that this kind of phrase construction puts me in an uncomfortable translating situation. Sometimes (not often really!) I have to "rebuild" the sentence to make it understandable and free flowing. And if I miss a keyword like "stretch", then it is definitely uncomfortable and I am screaming for Gloria's help.
Your answer is clear. I got it. Thanks.
This is a nice and expressive title for this HL. And you know that I am very "musical". Remember the very first comment I posted on this forum when I wrote, in a single sentence, that Heavenletter sounded to me like a variation on a single note, on the theme of One, in the style of a contrapunctus (like J. S. Bach "The Art of the Fugue)?
Loving you.
