You are all harder on yourselves than you should be. Many of the expressions in your language reflect this sentiment precisely; “I am my own worst enemy.” “I have met the enemy and it is me.” “I don’t need anybody to beat me up, I can do it just fine by myself.” Shall I go on? You get the point…
You think and act this way because you are measuring yourself against what you believe to be an impossible standard, perfection. I can assure you that, using your definition, there is no such thing as a perfect human being. Do you want to know My definition of perfection? It is you, just the way you are. The whole point of being human is to gain wisdom from all your experiences, whatever they may be, without judgment. Each lifetime has given each of you the opportunity to see and experience things from a different perspective. It has all been a necessary part of the soul’s journey.
If it has been written anywhere, by anyone, that you must do certain things in certain ways to gain My favor, My love, or My eternal grace, then you are mistaken. I tell you this, I love you all, equally, just as you are. Whatever you are doing, whatever you have done, and whatever you will do is all right with Me. That is because there is no “wrong” in My eyes. I see who you really are. I have peeled away all the costumes, all the masks, and all the facades to reveal your inner beauty. All of you are expressing as The All That I Am, and you are all loved greatly and equally for it. I will repeat that…you are all loved the same, just the way you are, without exception.
It takes great courage to become human and express on this plane of demonstration. You are all honored for simply saying “yes” to the process called “life“ to continually expand our creative consciousness together. So “lighten up” and “go easy” on yourself, for perfection is really about allowing the light of who you are to express itself with ease, just the way it is unfolding before you, right here and right now.
