In a nutshell, your life is what you say it is.

Life is not misbegotten.

Life is a daily entry. Don't leaf through the back pages. And don't skip ahead.

Today you are writing your life.

You do not look for perfection in your handwriting. You look to write.

What do you absorb unto you today? What do you give out? What is written between the lines? And what is not written at all.

Today is a page before you. It waits for you to enter yourself on it. Step up.

You are the writer of your life today.

What would you like to write about? Write it.

You who are beyond description are describing yourself today.

You are a character study, and it is yourself you study.

You choose a cast of characters, and you choose a sequence of events. The characters and events are the plot of your story. For Heaven's sakes, don't leave Me out. My role is large.

Consider Me the light that enters through a window on your page. Bask in the rays of My light. Put your face right up here to My rays. My light will sparkle you and rejuvenate you. I work on the surface and also beneath. I am the Fountain of Youth, for, with Me, there is no time, only timelessness.

You who are ageless do not age in My presence. Where We exist, nothing casts a shadow. What can cover up Our light, or cover it for long? External life is merely a game of peek-a-boo. But beneath all the externals, are you and I. Remember Our eternal light.

Pause a moment, and consider Our liveliness together.

What are We up to today? What is Our agenda?

Write today in your journal with joy. Take Me along with you, and you will have joy. I know only joy. Accompany Me. Look through My eyes. See what I see. See splendor. Our bright light outshines everything else.

Our book together has no ending, yet the ending is known. The ending is the beginning, and the beginning is forever.

We can say that I am the Publisher of your book. But you are the writer. Under My auspices, you write it. I have some say, but not all of it. I give you an advance for your autobiography. I give you all the pens and ink and paper and notebooks you could ever want. I even give you a computer. And so you write your life. Each day is a new chapter. Use your imagination.

What will make today a splendiferous day? Some outside event? or you? or you and I? I think you and I will. That is always My idea. Your life and Mine are so intertwined. It is intricate Our life together. And yet it is so simple you often miss it. That We are together is the main thing. Where we walk is incidental. What shoes We wear makes no difference at all. Our glory is dependent upon Us and not what We wear or pick up or leave off or what anything looks like. Under the rays of My light — Our light — all is beautiful, and all are under the cast of My light.

I hold you firmly in My light. It stays with you. It never skips ahead or falls behind. Wherever My light shines, it shines on you. I am the Light that lights your life. And I am the Light you write by. I will always give you My light to see with. Consider Me a beautiful Lamp that casts glorious light on the page of your life.
