To what lengths will you go to run away from Me? I am not your conscience chasing after you. I am not after you to search you nor to take anything away. I just want to be with you. I ask no more than that. Well, yes, I do ask that you be happy. I do ask that you come to Me rain or shine. I do ask that you come to know Me and know what a Friend I am to you, and what a Friend I am desirous of being in your eyes. Yes, I want you to know Me as I am. Let your vision of Me be consigned to what I truly am to you. I do want you to have True Vision, beloveds. While all this is so, it is also so that I ask nothing at all but to be with you in your awareness. That I am with you is already a fact. What I desire to the exclusion of all else is that you be happy, and be happy with yourself, your beautiful self, as you are, without your doubts and faultfinding.
It is true that I am All That Is. It is true that I am God Almighty, yet you also seem to see Me as either some kind of bad guy to run from or as some kind of good guy that you are obliged to kowtow to. I am a Good Guy, but you do not need to kowtow. You are not to be subjected to Me. You are not My victim. I do not toy with you.
Even though I am Truth, and I want you to know that I am, this does not mean I want you to see yourself as an abject servant. Yes, I do want you to serve Me, beloveds, for to serve Me is to serve yourself and all of life. Serve Me, but do not serve Me as if you are one who is subservient. Yes, of course, I do want you to follow My will gladly, but not as a penance. You do not owe anything. Beloveds, I don't want you to do penance at all. I don't need that, nor do you. The world will tell you to atone and repent. I do not. I tell you to leave all that behind and move on. Say so long to it. You are not who you were yesterday, that is, who you thought you were yesterday.
I tell you to forget the past because it was only a blip anyway. It is no longer. It actually never was. You can see that it is past, and yet you have not reconciled to yourself that the past is behind you. You do tend to keep the past in front of you as if it were a shield or a placard or notes for you to memorize. You do like to keep the past in sight while it really behooves you to abandon it. It matters not whether you are grateful for the past any more than it matters if you feel intimidated by it. Get past it.
The past is no more than leaves that have fallen. Do not even rake up the leaves of the past. Just leave them where they lie. The past is not for posterity. It is meant to be jumped over. Drop it off the cliff of your mind. Say Sayonara to it.
Be My simple child who comes to Me today the same way a child brings his mother a dandelion. What you offer Me is yourself, and I am so pleased with what you offer Me. When you offer Me yourself, you offer Me love, and that is exactly what I offer you.
