The Way a Tulip Rises to the Sun

Earth is filled with marvelous qualities. Look at the vitality and abundance of nature where you live. Nature isn't hobbled by any amount of strife. Roses bloom in war and in peace. Do you imagine that I would fill the Earth with greater than what I fill you with?

You are rich soil. You have infinite possibilities. I suppose it has to be said that you till the field of yourself. If you do not recognize that you are a field, how are you going to till it? This is easy tilling.

Schoolteachers and all the other teachers along the way may have given you the idea that you are not much at all. You may have even failed subjects in school, and so considered yourself a flop. Even if you succeeded in school, it was momentary, and you were not given all the feedback you deserved.

Now come onto the scale I offer you. On one side, I will weight the opinions of the world and your own self-evaluation, and on the other side of the scale, I will put the Truth of you. You already know which side weighs far more than the other.

I weigh your potential as well. I already know it, yet I weigh it for you. The lightness of your being that weighs nothing outweighs everything else.

I am telling you that you are a powerhouse. You have infinite power within you. You have hardly tapped the surface. Here you are sitting on a gold mine, and you don't know you are. You have settled for a lesser version. You may not even see yourself as a tin mine. You may not even see yourself as a mine at all. You may see yourself as a little bit of flattened-out top soil, going not deep at all.

You are a reservoir of Greatness. You are made of all the jewels in the world, and you can pluck out the jewels that you want to be. You can dig them out, polish them, and hold them up for all the world to see.

The world needs to see the Truth of you. You are not a cog in the wheel of life. You are the wheel itself, and so you have to spin and sparkle. You don't do this for yourself alone. You do this for Me, and you do this for world.

You have been holding yourself back because of your lack of belief in yourself and the world and Me. I am vested in you. Whatever the world may say, you are a jewel of My heart, and I ask you to reveal yourself, first to yourself, and then to the world. You can do this without saying a word. You don't have to tell anyone. You just have to start to reveal the great mettle that you are made of and then the gold that you are will shine and light up the world.

Light yourself up, please. See My light within you, this light I gladly have you call your own. Sit up straight. I am talking to you. You have not bet on yourself. Now I am asking you to place your bets. I assure you that you are a winner. No matter how desolate or undervalued you may personally feel, you haven't touched even the surface of yourself. And you have criticized the surface of yourself enough. Go deeper. Go beyond the fallen leaves that have kept your Greatness out of sight. Don't rake up those leaves. Just rise through them the way a tulip grows from a bulb in the soil. Surely, you can bloom. All you have to do is reach to the sun, beloveds.
