If I called your name and you were to come before Me, and I asked you how you are doing, what would you say to Me? I doubt that you would tell me your complaints. Of course, I realize that you might be speechless. Being speechless can be a good thing. Be speechless often.

Imagine that We sit knee to knee. It is your turn to speak. What words would fall from your lips?

I know that you would tell Me about all your blessings and all the gratitude you feel in your heart. Will you please start preparing yourself for Our face-to-face meeting? Let such words be the content of your thoughts all the time.

You will be called into a room, even though rooms do not exist in Heaven, so you will be asked to enter My Presence formally. We will sit together and you will reveal your heart to Me, even though I already know your heart backwards and forwards. It is you who has to tell Me all that you bring with you.

You will bring beauty. You will bring love. I do believe that you will have left everything else behind. You will have walked away from it. After all, beloveds, what else is there that you would carry into My Presence?

I am sure you would not bring toil and trouble. I am sure you would not. You wouldn't if you could, for you will have forgotten about all that sort of thing when you sit before Me anyway.

To be speechless would not be a bad thing. We could talk in beautiful silence. There really may be no need for words. Perhaps We could really just hold hands, and every understanding would pass between Us. Silence would be enough. Our hearts would be full.

Even understanding would not exist because what would there be to understand? It would be enough that We love. It would be enough to sink into Our Oneness. Oh, how complete you will feel!

Will you feel that Wholeness right now? Why not? You do realize that you are already in My Presence, don't you? What is it that really is different between Our being together now and Our getting together later? I am always the same, so it must be you that varies.

Perhaps you are one way when you are getting ready for a party, and at the party you are another way. Perhaps at the party you are your best self. It takes no effort. You are having a good time. Having a good time just means letting go of effort and strain. Beloveds, If you can be your best self at a party, why not be your best self now? Your best self is at ease, beloveds. Be at ease. You are with Me now.

Imagine that We are at a party, and We walk around the appetizer table together. How you would smile at Me! How happy you would be. How gracious. All the treats you would choose for Me to taste! Even if you were a guest at the party, you would be a host.

Perhaps that is the recipe for relaxation, to realize that the party has already started, and you are a kind and generous host.

Even in My Presence, you would be the host. I am the Host of the Universe, and you would host Me. You would not be thinking of yourself. You would be thinking of making Me happy and comfortable.

Now I ask you to think of making yourself happy and comfortable. Be a gracious host to yourself. Act in My place. I beseech you to know all I know about maintaining a Universe and all those who dance upon it with you and with Me. How about it? Will you be My right arm today?

Will you be a host to all the guests who live on Earth? Will you be an usher who brings everyone to a front-row seat in My Kingdom?
