“Let Me make the one distinction for you which you cannot make but need to learn. Your faith in nothing is deceiving you. Offer your faith to Me, and I will place it in the holy place where it belongs.”
~A Course in Miracles, OrEd.Tx.13.58
This morning I awoke to something that felt very rare here in cloudy Ohio; rays of sunshine spilling into the kitchen windows! Many around me have commented that it feels like January had 4754 days in it! My first instinct was to clean the window so I could fully experience this long-awaited light. Next, my two dogs and I took turns shifting from sunlit spot to new sunny spot just to stay within its warm embrace and soak in every last morsel of light. We were all just trying to stay in the light!
As I was washing the window, I was reminded of Jesus saying,“How can you say to your brother, brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye?” Luke 6:42
You see, the messages I’ve been receiving from 
most recently have reminded me again that the plank within our own eyes is our inability to accept our own indelible worth….essentially our own grandeur in union with Love Itself. Just yesterday, as I was contemplating how my sense of ease often seems to ride the waves of my finances at any given moment, this message came to me…
Money soothes the ego-mind because it gives you a false sense of security. For some, it may be an achievement, or approval, or acceptance. No matter the idol, it witnesses to a false self and hides the truth of your indelible value in Union with Me.

So often we spend our days striving for some external sense of security.
Perhaps that means finding financial freedom, attracting love into our lives, or trying to alleviate a particular problem or health condition. Beneath it all, we deceive ourselves into thinking that the attainment of this or that will give us the peace and security we desire. In truth, we must acknowledge that we are all seeking to find our value in the having or the accomplishing of this or that.
The truth I’m absorbing with the sunshine, however, is the creative power and freedom that comes from first recognizing and fully living in the joy of our own innate worth and value.
I’m seeing more clearly than ever that my Natural State in Union with , free of all the messages of self-doubt, judgment, fear, and anxiety, is actually the very state that allows me to attract the desires of my heart.
For you must know you are already complete and whole and even One with Divine Light to link yourself up with the Power of Divine Love, the power to join in the dance of creation.
put it another way for me this week:
Let there be no more apologies for the grandeur that is you.
May you never again second guess the truth that is you
~your Divinity in Union with Me.~
May you know who you are and make no excuses for Our Divine Connection.
For it is your Natural State with Me.
May you surrender suffering and fear and
choose again the Truth of Our Union,
And therefore the peace and joy that is your inheritance.
For you are only Love.
And in the Union~the merging of our One Love~
Is all freedom and all power in co-creation.
For nothing but love is real.
Stand firm in your knowing.
Breathe in only Love.
For that is what you are,
in Union with Me.
Living in the Joyful energy of being you, in your Natural State, is the same energy that welcomes and attracts abundance in all its forms. Live in the joy of being fully, wholly, worthy you, and align yourself with the energy of abundance!
You will attract all you desire from your Natural State, complete Union, and therefore trust in and with . Essentially, is saying, you don’t have to do anything but stay and live in the Light that is you, from which you were created. From the energy of that space, will you then open the floodgates of your own creative power and thus allow the desires of your soul to flow to you!
Are you ready yet, to accept the grandeur that is you?
