Once upon a time, you had no idea of Who you were. Now that you have an inkling, your life naturally expands beyond the perimeters of yourself. You begin to feel your responsibility to the universe and everyone and everything in it, and you begin to feel your responsibility to Me.

Do not let the word "responsibility" scare you, for the responsibility I speak of is love. Responsibility is merely responding to the love you feel. Love is its own responsibility. Love takes a wide swath, and you find the world contained in your heart. The outermost reaches of the universe land in your heart. You have no choice then but to nurture the world.

Once upon a time you were your whole world. That no longer works for you. It never really did, but that was as far as you saw, so in that sense it worked.

Your horizons have expanded as far as Zanzibar. As far as the furthermost star. As far as the Heavens. As far as a heart can reach. And there is nowhere your heart cannot reach. That is because I reach into your heart and find Myself there. You are beginning to learn the contents of your heart and the far reaches of it.

You come to find out that your heart does not belong to you. It is not your possession. It is your opening to the universe, to Heaven. Enter.

The world is a garden that your heart walks through. As you tour your garden, you see what needs to be done, and you attend to it. Most of all, you are love passing through your garden, and love tells you what is needed and what you are to do. What are you to do with the love in your heart but to follow it?

Your heart is a blessed heart. I have given it to you as a blessing. I blessed it and now you bless your heart to the world. Now you understand better that your heart is not yours. It is like a bank you carry. It is filled with the savings of others, and you give them interest and you return their principle. You are the carrier of the bank, but not the owner.

You do not even have the desire to own your heart, for now you only want to give it. You want to give it its due, and for that, you spread it everywhere. You are generous with your heart like jam on bread.

The strings of your heart are linked to everyone else's. There is no longer a heart apart from yours. They are all in the bank of your heart. They are there for safekeeping. Yes, keep other hearts safe in yours where they will grow.

Your heart is expanding. It is meant to. Your heart is not meant to be kept in reserve. We are exploring your heart. You haven't realized how wide and deep it goes. You heard one peep from it and thought that was as far as it went. Now you know the extent of your heart. Your heart extends to Mine. Your heart is the extension of Mine. Our hearts beat together. Our hearts beat as One. Like Mine, your heart holds the universe, and the universe spills over. The universe cascades from your heart. Your heart catches everything in its wake.

You are waking up to the contents of your heart. You are joining with Me as We encompass the world and love it dearly. This is what your heart is for, and so it is.
