Hello, beloveds. How are you?
I will answer for you. You are wonderful! How can you not be wonderful when you have a God like Me? Ah, but perhaps you want a different kind of God. Perhaps you are looking for Santa Claus, yet I am more than Santa Claus. I go deeper. I go deep into your soul. I raise you to My height.
Santa Claus has his place. He is an aspect of Me. But Santa Claus drops off gifts for you and then rides away.
I work differently. I stay. I am a gift-giver as well, and I am also a Companion. I load up My sleigh every day, and I look out for you all the time. You have My full attention always. With all regard for Santa Claus, I do not hop on a sleigh and leave you to open your gifts after I have gone.
The gifts I give are not always gift-wrapped. It is not always so easy to see the gifts I leave for you. Many are invisible. It may take some doing on your part before you are able to see them and accept them. Beloveds, there is not a moment that I am not sending you manna from Heaven. You may, indeed, be looking at other things. You are distracted. You may be looking for gifts in the wrong places.
Also, please do not ever think of Me as a Santa Claus of the olden days who would leave coal in your stocking because you were naughty instead of nice. I love you when you are naughty, and I love you equally when you are nice. Aim not so much for being nice or naughty. Aim for greater closeness to Me. There is nothing like it.
Again, with all due respect to Santa Claus, if I were Santa Claus I would whisk you off on the sleigh with Me. All the children on Earth would be riding with Me. My sleigh would be laden with My happy children, riding on a sleigh with Me. Some would ride bareback on Prancer and so on. We would have such a wonderful time. You would not even be thinking of something so little as a material gift. You would be riding on a sleigh with Me. Soon enough, you would find yourself as the gift-giver. You would even happily leave your gifts for another child of Mine. You would gladly become Santa Claus. It would no longer be so vital that there be gifts left at your house. In fact, you would be glad that others have the gifts with your name on them.
It's not that you would suddenly become unselfish. It is that you would no longer be selfish. You naturally wouldn't be thinking of yourself first. You wouldn't because you would be riding in a sleigh with Me, and you would see from the heights I see. You would have a whole new perspective. Your heart would soar as well, and what more would you want? What does Santa Claus ask for but to be able to deliver the gifts he has. Santa Claus would not be happy if he couldn't deliver his sleigh full of gifts.
Your true heart is like Santa Claus. Your heart is not happy unless it gives and gives more. Your heart wants nothing more than to give. And your heart wants to give everywhere, not just here and just there, but everywhere. Your heart doesn't want to give only to one country and not another. Your heart wants to give to all of My children everywhere.
Your heart doesn't wait for Christmas. Your heart gets your reindeer ready right now.
