Listen well to the silence within you. Within the silence are all the answers you are seeking. You understand, I am speaking of the silent Known yet Unknown within you. It cannot be seen. It cannot be heard except as your heart hears it. It speaks volumes to you, beloveds, this silence in which all is contained.

You make excuses to come to Me. No excuses are needed. You make no excuses for breathing air or drinking water. You do not justify your need for them. Your need is a given. It is natural to breathe and to drink. It is also natural to come to Me, to catch up to where you already are. Get over here, and wait not for a reason. Tumble headlong to Me. Don't putter. Don't study the situation. Just come.

Others' thoughts are your doubts. Your doubts aren't your own. You absorb them from others. Others would put their definition of truth on you to uphold. They want you to uphold their boundaries, for their definitions are boundaries. All definitions are boundaries.

God first.

This is not from My ego, for I have none.

This is setting you straight.

What is first comes first. Anything else is faking it. Only Truth satisfies.

Satiate yourself with Me.

I cannot do it for you, though I do everything else.

That is the free choice of which you are made.

You can make anything first that you choose.

You can make anything last as you choose.

And you have chosen illusion over Me.

You have put everything else first.

Think a little of Me.

Cast Me a role in your life.

Acknowledge My role in your life.

Acknowledge My love.

When you attach another to yourself, you have attached yourself to them. Attachment is a clinging, and when you cling to something else, you are clung to it. You give up something of yourself when you attach to something or someone. It is never worth it. Attachment is never cost-effective. You give too much or take too much, and you lose yourself.

God first. What does that mean? That means that is the truth. All comes from Me. The power and the glory are Mine. I care naught about power and glory. I care about Truth. And I care about you. That is what is hard for you to believe, that I care, and that you are worthy.

All healing comes from Me. All wealth. All talent. All beauty. All intelligence. All children. All Truth. All from your One Father. That is Truth.

All your successes are Mine. Whose did you think they were?

So then you ask, "What about my failures? What about my pain? Are they also from You then?"
