Running Errands for God
Gloria to God:
Dear God, what would You like to tell us today?
God:
Sense My strength within you.
There is such a tendency to wake up in the morning and feel small. Change that. Wake up in the morning and feel greatness.
How you feel when you wake up in the morning is a habit.
Change that habit.
Create a habit of waking to your worth.
Wake up to Me.
Put a note next to your bed. Read it first thing in morning the same way someone might reach for his first cigarette.
The note says: "I will do something great today. I will see some greatness today. I will do something today that glorifies God's greatness. I will see something today that glorifies God's greatness. I will be Who I am today. I will look at other people the way God does."
Even a little act can have greatness in it.
Today make a difference in life.
What little thing would make you supremely happy?
What little thing could you do to make someone else supremely happy?
Wake up in the morning thinking: "I am radiant with God's light. I radiate the light of God. That is what I am. I help God create beauty. I help God create light. I help God to be revealed today. God woke me up this morning so that I could increase the joy of the world."
Let Us look now at going to bed. When you go to sleep at night, you do not leave life. In sleep you continue life. Even in sleep you bless the world. You are My gifted child even in sleep. As you go to sleep, say to yourself: "My body sleeps, and my soul revels with God. I rest tonight in God's arms. My body is in this bed, but my soul reaches up to God to receive His blessings. That is how my soul rests. As I sleep, I am reimbursed with God's love. Even my sleep, which I have thought of as an interruption of my life, is my life, and is blessed."
Let Us look now at going to work. Some hearts get heavy at that thought. But even in a job that does not thrill you, you can uplift and be uplifted. You may have been looking at your work short-sightedly. If it's a place you go to and leave your heart and Me behind, then it is indeed something to be endured. It is not My Will that you merely endure.
If it is true that I am with you twenty-four hours a day, and it is true, it is definitely true, then I am with you at work. Consciously take Me with you to work. Show Me the ropes. Give Me a tour. Mentally introduce Me to your co-workers and to your employers.
Think: "God sits here in my chair. And God sits there in that chair. It is thrilling to me to be with God even in what seems the commonplace. Today I will give someone encouragement. I will make this workday easier for someone else and for me. I am not here to be bored. I am here to stir joy. And that I will."
It may not seem like a big thing or important thing or valuable thing to you to move stones from one place to another, but even the stones you move are God's stones. To move papers from one place to another is service to Me. To clean someone's house. To drive a bus. To talk on the phone.
Do you think you talk to "customers" on the phone? Who are customers? What entity is that? You do not talk to customers. There is no such thing as a customer. You talk to My child. You are a representative of Me. You are on a God-line. I hear your voice with all of My love. I speak through you. I hear through you. And it is I to Whom you speak.
Take some energy with you today as you go to work. Be a carrier of My love. Put Me in your briefcase. Pack Me in your lunch. Include Me in your step. Be aware of Me looking out through your eyes. Be aware of Me speaking.
Today We can transform the energy of life at your work.
And when We return home from your workday, We will bring more love into your house. Come home a new way. Enter your home a new way. Hold the door open for Me. Usher Me in. Greet everyone for Me.
And if you are the one already home, open the door for Me. Greet Me at the door. Make Me welcome. Help Me to be at home. Make your home a bus-stop for love. Make your home a haven for those who live there.
Today is a new day for you to write on.
Write your biography today.
Use the ink of love.
Make it a love story. Make it a great love story.
Continue the love of Heaven on earth.
Bring love down to earth.
I have sent you to earth to do an errand for Me.
Do it with good nature.
Today know what your errand is.
