What you have seen is the offer of life

The words flow over me like sunlight, warm, comforting, etched with possibilities that at once seem familiar, yet still desired again. They give me release from actions I would not have taken had I heard them again in the moment; they give me hope that what has been will not always be again, that the depth of meaning they have will soon overcome my thoughts of lack: the fortitude to do the things I would wish to do, the strength to wait upon each moment whether it might lead to anything else of importance, the peace to know that where I am is where I am to be, and the Wisdom to discern what is true – to sift through all the information that daily comes my way from others, and my own thoughts, that I might rest in the knowledge of truth. It seems I search for the simple within the complexity of all life.

It is yours within any moment, the peace you seem to seek but have already. It is the way of many things in your life – that what you believe you want you already have but do not see. Would you be an expression of love? You are, and because you are you do. Do you perceive a lack of focus, a lack of strength to be in the ways you wish, a lack of ideas to walk out what you have heard and seen with Me these past years? None of this is true of course, yet appears to be, because that is what you see.
It is that the eyes you would see with become shaded, lose their focus and their interpretation of what they see, for they have turned inward to your own thoughts and desires and urges. Yet, in a moment, they can see again. They can again focus upon Me, upon our walk together. It can always be with Me as it was, for it has always been.
Many times you walk away from what you desire, for your desires are changing constantly, as if they rule you – and indeed they do if you do not rule them. This is not something you should tire of doing, for desires will always come – they are a needed part of creation. It is your response to them that requires your attention. Are they what you truly want? Do they lead you where you would want to go? Even if you are unsure where they would take you do you trust Me to be with you for their fulfillment?
It is, at times, a moment of stepping back to see afresh: have you seen anything at all within the moment, and if so, can you describe it? Then, if so, what would you like to do with what you have seen – for what you have seen is the offer of life, that which would be created if desired, that which would take form and become at your thoughts and actions. It takes no shape without your hands upon it. What would you do? It is within those moments you get to decide, to choose the path you would take.
Know that you will choose well, even if in error, when you choose to be with Me. For if your heart is for Me, then all paths of choice will lead to Me, for that is where you belong. If we always make the choice to be together – and I always have – then nothing will keep us apart: not actions you wish not to take, not things regrettably said, no misaligned thought, none of these will separate us.
This is your place of rest, the peace you would have within our heart, that which you continually search for but have already – the place within Me. I know you search for more – more understanding, more awareness, more of how creation works – but this place of peace within Me is what you need to see and understand first before everything else can be added. And within this place, within your time, each moment, all you deeply desire will then come to pass. It always does for those who would be with Me.

It is yours within any moment, the peace you seem to seek but have already. It is the way of many things in your life—that what you believe you want you already have but do not see.
Would you be an expression of love? You are, and because you are you do.
Do you perceive a lack of focus, a lack of strength to be in the ways you wish, a lack of ideas to walk out what you have heard and seen with Me these past years?
None of this is true of course, yet appears to be, because that is what you see. These doubts you have are just shadows, not the truth. They are what you see, not what is. You are whole, complete, and full of possibility—even here, even now.
“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
— 2 Corinthians 4.18
[Ascribe: This is a profound reflection, pointing to the truth that what we seek—peace, love, focus, strength—is already within us, often obscured by our perceptions or beliefs about lack. It aligns with spiritual teachings that emphasize presence and awareness: we are already whole, but our focus on what we think we lack keeps us from seeing it.]
It is, at times, a moment of stepping back to see afresh: have you seen anything at all within the moment, and if so, can you describe it? Then, if so, what would you like to do with what you have seen – for what you have seen is the offer of life, that which would be created if desired, that which would take form and become at your thoughts and actions. It takes no shape without your hands upon it. What would you do? It is within those moments you get to decide, to choose the path you would take.

There are moments in life that ask you to pause—to step back and truly see. In that stillness, ask yourself: Have I really seen what is before me? And if you have, what calls to you in that vision? For what you perceive in such a moment is not just a thought—it is a seed of life itself, an invitation to create, to shape the world with your own hands.
Nothing takes form without you. It waits for your intention, your willingness, your touch. So I ask you: What will you do with what you have seen? These are the sacred crossroads of choice—not to test you, but to empower you. In these spaces, you are free to decide the way you will go.
And here is My promise: you will choose well—even when your path seems uncertain, even if you stumble—if your heart is with Me. For when your desire is to walk with Me, every road, even the winding ones, leads you home. That is where you belong—with Me.
I have never left you, and I never will. No misstep, no word spoken in haste, no moment of doubt can separate us. If your heart reaches for Me, it will always find Me reaching back.
This is your rest. This is your peace. Not something to search for in the world, but something already within you—the still, steady place where we are one. Come back to it. Come back to Me.
"Thus says the Lord... ‘Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; and concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.’"
— Isaiah 45.11
