Certainly you know that when someone creates, he or she is in joy. Creating is self-expression. I expressed Myself in joy when I created you. You are My expression expressed. I wanted you. I want you still.

I see you as you really are. You see yourself in bits and pieces. Too often you see yourself as failing. I would love My Created sons and daughters to get over the idea that they are some kind of blasphemy or fool or miscreant.

How can it be that human beings, the Beings I created and gave the richest opportunities to, too often see themselves as unworthy. Many seem to carry around an idea of themselves as misbegotten.

No lion I know of roars at himself or claps his head and thinks: “What a rotten mistake I made. I am such a rotter.”

No cat I know of thinks he is imperfect.

No mouse thinks he doesn’t belong.

No animal that I know of plagues himself as My beloved human beings plague themselves. Human beings are good at misgivings. They excel at it. They can wrong and be wronged and live on the tears of their regrets as if their feelings of regret are food for the soul.

Too many human beings, instead of seeing themselves as the fairest of all, see themselves as the dregs. Let’s change this right now.

Be elated that you are alive. Do good, and when you err, don’t punish yourself for it. Go on. What you are guilty of is being a human being who questions himself over and over again. No matter what, do not indict yourself.

No matter if you have committed so-called unforgivable sins, don’t label yourself. Rise above now.

If you have sunk to the curb, don’t stay there. You are not established in wrong-doing. You are established in Being, and you are to be whatever you want to be. What do you want to be? I don’t think you want to be a slug or a spot on the wall or a heartless ruler. You can be any kind of human being you want to be.

If you have been a murderer, you can choose now to hold life in good stead. If you could murder, you can be someone who cares about life. A murderer once does not a murderer have to continue to be. Set your sites higher. One who has murdered has as much choice as anyone to be whatever else he wants to be. He cannot bring someone back to life. He can, however, bring himself back to life.

Not one of you is to label yourself, nor are you to label anyone else. Why? Labels limit and are not worth the time of day.

What do you desire? To be acclaimed? That can happen. Acclaim yourself right now.

If you are short, you probably can’t be tall. If you are tall, you don’t want to be short. Be glad you are short or tall.

Do not think that I ask you to make yourself over. I ask you to restore yourself to the magnificence I made you. If you have not been what I made you for, return to the original love I made you of.

I do not ask you to be the wealthiest man in the world, nor do I ask you to be the poorest. I do not ask you to be the most anything in the world. I ask you to be a Light in the World so that all may know that I exist, and that I exist in you. I ask you to be as I made you. I made you in My image. I ask you to remind the world of all it can be. All you have to do is to be what you really are. You have only to reveal to yourself, YOURSELF, and My Will is done.

Do it.
