I wish to write upon the subject of why we need to love ourselves as a first step to unlocking the [[Christ]] [[potential]] within our [[souls]]. The Christ is the active [[energies]] of the Divine Love that possesses a [[human soul]]. Jesus was the Christ because he possessed the Divine Love to the extent that it superseded his [[natural]] love that was purified from the day he was born. Now, I see your question: What [[chance]] do I have of manifesting the Christ if my natural love is not [[purified]]? Would it surprise you if I told you that the Divine Love [[your soul]] possesses has, indeed, overshadowed your natural love? Let me explain why.

If you seek the gift of Love that God has for you, and you put the [[seeking]] for this love above all else, you begin to [[transform]] your [[material life]] into a life that is governed by the highest [[laws]] of [[the universe]]. It is as if you have the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midas Midas] touch - everything you come into contact with [[becomes]] imbued with the energies of [[your soul]], [[mind]], and [[body]] to bring about the highest [[potential]] of each thing, each event, and each possibility in the [[moment]].

Knowing yourself as God's beloved child is the single most important [[realization]] you must have to enable God to work through you. You would not be able to consider the [[possibility]] of [[receiving]] [[love]] if you did not [[accept]] your [[worthiness]] of receiving it. Somehow you believe in your [[heart]] and [[mind]] that God loves you, and your belief is enough to become possessed by the idea that He wants to love you completely and constantly. Consequently, you want to be loved in this way.

You see your brothers and sisters struggling to come up for air from the depths of their [[despair]] and unhappiness. You may reach out your hand to help them because you have broken the hold this [[material]] world has on you by not placing importance on, nor turning your [[desires]] toward, those insubstantial [[pleasures]] of the moment. Well, yes, you do enjoy a chocolate bar sometimes, even if you don't need it, and the moment passes as a pleasure that will not stay with you except for the calories that are added to your already ample store. I'm having fun with you because I know that you can [[appreciate]] that I love you - every ounce of you :-). I would not call it a [[weakness]] when you give in to your desires for pleasure for the reason I have explained here. But more important than being loved is having [[love]], and giving love, letting it possess you through and through. I ask you now to ask yourself, what is this love that possesses your [[thoughts]] and [[desires]]? What sustains you when you hurt, or when you [[hunger]]? You know it is Divine Love. It never fails you. It is always present; you know God loves what you are and what you will [[become]].

Your [[natural]] love, as imperfect as it may be, is overcome by this greater love that exists in your [[life]] like the air you [[breathe]]. By now, you have [[become]] love, and its reality has [[transformed]] your [[sight]] of this world as a place for love. Yes, the [[Christ]] is active in [[your soul]] even as you are now, mortal and imperfect. You see that God loves you still, and you keep asking for His Love. Be selfish, my child, and realize that the act of [[receiving]] love is the most [[unselfish]] thing you do for [[this world]]. I love you, and I pray alongside you because I know the importance of love's [[presence]] in our world, both [[mortal]] and [[spirit]]. I am [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary, the mother of Jesus], and a true follower of my son and Master.
