Beloved Beloveds, your hearts sing to Me. I hear every heart and the longing of each heart. I know your aches and pains and your heartaches. I know all that troubles you, and I know all that brings you happiness. I know more about you than you know yourself. Most of all, I know all you are capable of, and that includes great happiness and power.
There is a tendency for you to think that you don't amount to much. Now is the time to get over that. You have illustrious power. You have the power of love. Now demonstrate it to yourself.
With every inch of love you give, your sense of self will grow. This sense of self is not ego. The higher your sense of your own self-worth grows, the less will ego be able to hang around. Ego attacks those whose sense of self-worth is not what it merits to be, and so ego finds great openings.
You don't see Me strutting around, trying to be important, adding this or that to make Me feel mighty. I feel as mighty as I AM. You may not feel the might of yourself. I say it again and again. All that I AM, are you also.
I know you see yourself as little you, and you see Me as big God somewhere else, perhaps in the sky. I do not exaggerate. I am certainly not exaggerating when I say all that I have, you have. All that I am, you are. You are an expression of Me. You are My masterpiece. I created your body from the dust of the Earth, and your soul came from My very love. You are not a foster child of Mine. You are of My very own soul.
I see clearly, and yet My heart does not ache. My vision is not obstructed. When it comes to seeing yourself, it is like you have your hand covering your eyes. You peek through your fingers every once in a while, but most of the time you are convinced that I speak in hyperbole. You must think I exaggerate, or you would know that what I say is true. I say only what is true.
I speak to you in a voice you can hear. I try every trick in the book to get you to see and to hear. You do see, and you do hear, yet only so far. Are you timid to embrace all that I say and make it your own?
You are My own creation, created from My very heart and soul. What more would you want? And yet that is not enough for you to take the leap over from illusion to reality. If you believed only 25% of what I say, you would be way ahead of where you are now. Oh, beloveds, you would leap over tall buildings.
It is perhaps ego that keeps you from making that jump from illusion to truth. Ego would trip you. Ego would make a play for your attention. Ego would bolster you up in some way, yet, My most beloved, in truth, you need no bolstering. You need no humbling either. Without ego, you would not hide behind yourself. You would step right up and proclaim yourself. You would say:
"I am the gift God gave to Himself and to me. What an amazing thing. I am of God's lineage. God has made me the heir to His fortune. I only have to claim it, not as My due, but as God's gift to Himself and the human being I know as myself. How can I not be grateful for my heritage? I belong to God, and He loves me. I am the most loved being on Earth. No one is more loved than I. No one is more capable of doing God's bidding than I. I will go forward with God. I will follow in His footsteps. This is what God's Will is for me."
