Serve

Heavenletter #4777 Serve

God said:

It is one thing to doubt yourself. It is another thing to doubt your actions. The two are not the same. Be confident in yourself and listen to your heart, and do what uplifts you and the world and serves My Will. Serve.

There is a difference in following your heart and doing what you may want to do. You might want to take something from a convenience store without paying. You might want to eat a whole box of chocolates. You might want to tell someone off. These are not quite examples of following your heart. At the time, you may feel you just have to, are justified to. Beloveds, appeasing an impulse is not necessarily the same as following your heart.

Within your heart is Mine. Align your will with Mine. Be straight with yourself. You are past kidding yourself now.

Indulging yourself is not the same as following your heart.

Love yourself. Love your thoughts. Love your actions.

Kowtowing to others isn’t the same as following your heart, nor is selfishness the same as following your heart.

You may have been taught that it is self-preservation to be selfish.

Nor are you to live looking over your shoulder, weighing every act you do. Nor do you live life getting away with whatever you may be able to get away with and call yourself lucky.

What does it mean to be true to yourself when you don’t yet know yourself?

Until you are aware that you are a prince, how can you wear the crown?

If you consider yourself a laggard, you act like a laggard. One who considers himself a thief steals. One who does not know he is a prince is limited. You are meant to be unlimited.

That you are unlimited doesn’t mean you have license. You have freedom. You have choices. You are not always on automatic. You do not always follow the line of least resistance.

Nor is it by dint of will that you act as a prince. A prince is a prince.

We are talking about your Being and not a performance. And yet My children seem to play parts, and the parts they play may not be true to themselves.

Nor am I saying that you are to let the world rule you. Nor am I saying that you have to develop a conscience. I am saying that you are to be inner-directed and not so much outer-directed.

And yet you can be a bearer of good will and you can calm the world. We are speaking of what it really means to bless the world. It isn’t that you look for plaudits, for you can be the prince you are and not be honored.

Nor is it that you are to make pledges and promises and vows. Nor are you to accuse yourself. You are to move on. You are to realize yourself. You are to come forward.

Nor am I saying that you must atone for once seeing differently from how you see today. How can I tell you to atone for the past and at the same time tell you to get out of the past?

If you must atone, you atone by being who you know yourself to be now. Once you carried different ideas of what you thought was smart, and now you have other ideas. Be aware you have expanded your world, and be glad.

In the world, you are learning who you are. As you learn, you become. Your eyes and heart go together. Open your eyes, and your heart is opened. Open your heart, and you see better and further and you love more.

First, love yourself. That’s how you become a boon to the world that has been seeking you.
