"... What I desire to the exclusion of all else is that you be happy, and be happy with yourself, your beautiful self, as you are, without your doubts and faultfinding.
... The world will tell you to atone and repent. I do not. I tell you to leave all that behind and move on. Say so long to it. You are not who you were yesterday, that is, who you thought you were yesterday.
I tell you to forget the past because it was only a blip anyway. It is no longer. It actually never was. You can see that it is past, and yet you have not reconciled to yourself that the past is behind you. You do tend to keep the past in front of you as if it were a shield or a placard or notes for you to memorize. You do like to keep the past in sight while it really behooves you to abandon it. It matters not whether you are grateful for the past any more than it matters if you feel intimidated by it. Get past it.
The past is no more than leaves that have fallen. Do not even rake up the leaves of the past. Just leave them where they lie. The past is not for posterity. It is meant to be jumped over. Drop it off the cliff of your mind. Say Sayonara to it.
Be My simple child who comes to Me today the same way a child brings his mother a dandelion. What you offer Me is yourself, and I am so pleased with what you offer Me. When you offer Me yourself, you offer Me love, and that is exactly what I offer you."
