You need no proof of love. You may have spent your whole life looking for proof of love. Look not for proof, beloveds.
Love is not mean to be a test. It is not meant to be anything but what it is. Love itself is undying, but the undying love you seek is not found by looking for proof of it, or even by looking for it.
As you continue to grow and you look back at the past, a distance
grows. You do see down a longer rifle, so to speak, and you see the
past and the people in it. No matter how big a part the people in your
life played, no matter how much they affected you and influenced your
life, you see now that they and all the fading past have turned to dust.
What if every single thing that occurs, no matter how it may seem,
is the right thing? If you could know that all that befalls, no matter
how distorted, has its value, how fraught with tension and worry could
you then be? If all accidents were not accidents, if all crimes were
not crimes, if all illness were not illness, how anxiety-ridden could
Is it not marvelous all the contrasts and likenesses of Creation as
I set them out before you? On the surface of life alone, I have offered
you spectacular entertainment. Ask any mountain climber, polo player,
or golfer, and they will tell you. Ask anyone who sews or knits or
plays Parcheesi. There is no end to the entertainment I have offered
you.
Not one of you knows the extent to which you work for Me. None of
you begins to know the service you give to Me and to the Universe. For
all you know, you are lollygagging around in the world, lying on a raft
in your swimming pool and drinking soda through a straw. It is amazing
how little you know. Where you are is not who you are.
God said:
Your thoughts float on airwaves. There is no obstruction to them. Whatever your thoughts are, they enter the world. They travel near and far. They reach everywhere. Everyone is affected by them. Your thoughts are like a ballot, and everyone picks up your thoughts, and everyone votes on them on one level or another.
It is amazing how you can pick up My energy extended to you and echo it out in ripples of such endless variety. You would have only high thoughts, except your thoughts are rascals. They don’t like to be caught and tamed. Recurring thoughts recur. They don’t want to be forced out. And yet, you didn’t invite them in, and you may well not want them to stay.
If there were no attachment, there would not be suffering. If you
could take even death of beloved ones in your stride, where would
attachment live? Because of Human attachment, you think something
terrible has happened when a loved one dies. You mourn the whole
concept of death of the body, as if the existence of the body were
everything. I know that death of the body is big for you.
What a lovely thing when you set yourself before Me, when you look up at Me, much the way a baby bird opens its beak, expectant of his mother's giving him a juicy tidbit.
God said:
Your needs are not more important than anyone else’s. Your needs are simply what you perceive. No one has to go around filling your needs. When you were a baby, yes, but you are no longer a baby.
When you see a need, fill it. This is quite different. You are on Earth to fill its needs. Because you are doesn’t mean you must hold anyone else to that charge. The greater your heart, the greater your understanding of life, the more you will desire to serve. It is that simple. You will desire to serve. You will not ask to be served. If someone wishes to serve you, you will say Thank you, and no longer conjure that they must serve you again.
