Gloria to God:

Dear God, what would You like to say to us this morning?

God:

I would like to just sit with you and not say much. Give you a chance to receive Me. Receive Me more than My words. My words are one thing. I am another. The words are Mine but they are like an olive-branch held out for you to grasp. My words lead you to Me. They are pieces of bread tossed upon the path for you to follow to your destination of Heaven. My words are sounds, a clearing of My throat, a composition of music intended to pipe you on your way to Me.

My words are lures that lead to Me.

Of course, I am in My words. My words reveal Me to you. But My words flirt with you. They engage you. They say, Come over here.

Your coming over to Me is what matters and not My words. My words are a tool to bring you closer to Me. And you can come closer.

Why do you hesitate?

My children hesitate.

I call you to Me, and you hesitate.

It is truly not from fear of Me.

It is from fear of letting go of your foothold on unreality.

You think the earth is more solid than I am.

You think the dense matter that is a fraction of Me is more substantial than I, the Creator. You trust in that density more than you trust in Me. How peculiar!

Coming to Me is nothing more than letting go of something else.

How precious really is that something else that you hesitate to let go of?

Move one foot after the other.

You think it is a leap to Paradise.

That is a façade.

A space is chalked on the sidewalk, and you think that chalked-in space is real and that you have to jump over it.

You play leap-frog with yourself, dear ones.

Stop tip-toeing to Me.

Step right up to Me.

Say, "God, here I am."

It is simply the next step to come before Me and declare yourself.

Declare yourself Mine.

Say, "God, I am here, and I am Yours."

That is truth, after all.

So you declare nothing but what already is so.

You admit into your consciousness what has already been always.

You have to come before yourself and admit your strength.

You have to come before yourself and laugh.

You have to come before yourself and look up.

When you kneel, you can then rise up.

Bowing to Me is bowing to Truth.

Surrender is surrender to Truth.

Surrender to Truth is the easiest thing in the world.

Your surrender to Me merely says: "I am. You are. We."

What is so hard about that?

What is so hard about naming a Partner Who is already in Partnership with you.

Did I create you?

Surely you didn't create yourself.

That would have been folly.

One greater than you created you and said you are His greatness.

I say it now.

You are My greatness.

You are My goodness.

I replicated a stamp of Myself with joy unimaginable.

I created joy, and joy ran away from itself.

How far can joy run before it catches up to itself?

Not too far.

You have to look to see yourself.

You are a bubble of My laughter.

You are a bubble of My thought.

You are a bubble of My love.

You are My bubble.

You are an unburstable bubble.

You think you are fragile.

But you are not.

You are not fragile.

You are the very fiber of the universe.

I made you strong.

I made you as light as air and the strongest of filaments.

You are a flash of light, and nothing is stronger than light.

All you have to do is shine.

All you have to do is be who you are.

Identify yourself.

First, say, "I am God's light. I am nothing but God's light. My joy is to shine God's light because that is what light does. It shines. I am a shiner of God's light for God. He likes to see His light reflected to Him. He says that we are His stars in the firmament, and He has lighted each one of His stars. He missed none. All are lit. Once lit, nothing can blow out the light of God that shines in His stars. God dubbed me His star. He said, 'Go and be My light for the world. Be My light shining on earth. Brighten the days on earth. Make Me be known.'"

And that is My Will, that you perform My love on earth.
