Unlock your heart.

You have pulled it tight, as if it needed protection.

What it needed was to know its own value. When you know the value of your heart, it needs no protection. You do not need to keep others out. That attempt can only close yourself in.

An open heart is awareness of Me.

It is that simple.

Open your heart to Me, and attachments that cause you pain cannot exist. It is a foregone conclusion that attachment holds nothing to you but an illusion of joy and then of loss.

You thought your heart was too open, but that was not it. You didn't value your own heart enough, so you gave it away. That was not openness. That was barter. You tried to buy the fallacy of love from another. And you got tuppence in exchange. When you have less than the full value of Me, you are short-changed.

Do not get carried away by a gift, or the particular hand that gives it.

All gifts come from Me, and it is to Me that your heart swing belongs. Love Me above all others. This is not sacrifice or force of will. It is the truth of life. You don't worship a 60-watt bulb that turns on and off. Or even a 150-watt or a 300-watt. You worship the Sun that beacons its light eternally. It is not your mistake to love. It is your mistake to attach.

All love comes from Me. Don't you forget it. And all love comes to Me.

Do not put anything between Us.

Put your love on Me.

Put yourself in My light.

My light will radiate out to others.

Do not let your ego entrap you into what passes for love. Do not hold yourself there.

Life moves, and your grace is to move with it.

Constant love comes from Me.

You expect too much from others, and they expect too much from you.

Expect to know Me.

I am what to expect.

Count on Me, but not by the merit badges of your relative life. Sometimes you trade too much for them, and find your heart empty.

Bereave yourself of attachment which is attachment to nothing but an outdated idea that there was something you needed more than your awareness of Me.

Enjoy your life in the world, but do not keep picking up belongings from it.

Life is not a yard sale.

It is life.

And love does not purchase or collect.

Move through life, and keep your eye on Me.

Be not swayed from your heart's truth.

That is your merit.

What does someone else's attention have to do with you? Sometimes you think that what someone thinks of you, what someone says to you, what someone does not say to you, matters. It matters because you say it does. The truth is it doesn't matter. All the accumulated love from the world can never fill your heart, and you must no longer ask it to.

Ask Me. Keep your eye on Me. Follow My lovelight.

That is the platform you live on.

You have often sought what cannot appease you, or appease you for long, and then you are crestfallen when you are no longer appeased.

You need no appeasement.

You need your attention on Me.

Focus on My love, and yours will be simple in return.

No love but Mine alights on you.

You are the most loved of all.

How is it you have expected a butterfly to alight on your heart and stay there?

It may alight, but it cannot stay.

It also has its search for Me.

You can only be passing fancies for one another.

You can serve Me through another, but you cannot put another before Me or next to Me.

The tragedy is not that a butterfly of love flew away. The tragedy is that you made more of it than it can be.

Did you really think that intensity would last forever? Intensity does not last. Entrapment doesn't last. It comes, and then it is over.

My love will never leave you.

All you can do is give My love and move on. You cannot stay in the same place. Give your heart to Me. Our love for each other is not incidental. Do not bypass Our love. Stake your claim on no one. You have no claim to any love but Mine.
