HEAVEN #3678 Use This Key, December 20, 2010
God said:
Above all, let go of the fear of disapproval from others. Would that approval were common in the world. Alas, approval has been hard to come by. Acceptance has been hard to come by. Disapproval is easy to find. It’s a dime a minute. When you have good motives, approve yourself. Throw away some things but never your good heart toward yourself. Your approval means something. Others’ approval may or may not.
You are growing and changing with or without approval or disapproval. Those who disapprove may be well-meaning, yet who is there in the world to tell a red rose to become a purple iris, or a yellow dandelion to become a blue-flowered chicory? Who can presume?
Desire to be all that you want to be, and let it happen. And may others do the same regarding themselves.
A tailor can make clothes to fit another. No one can make you to fit another’s ideas. They can try their heads off, yet you are you, and you are growing the best you know how and as fast as you can. You know the way to grow just as your body knew all along. You have ways to grow that are yours. Your ways don’t have to be someone else’s. They don’t have to be anyone else’s.
You can only follow your own inner promptings. You cannot always groom yourself according to someone else’s desires for you. Too many people in the world are hard to please, too hard to please.
And when it comes to your approving others, have a light touch. Others are not your business. Everyone is My business. Approve rather than improve.
This goes for your children as well. The most auspicious way to improve your children is to approve of them. Telling it like it is may not always be in the best interest of the child. Rather than thinking of improving your child, think of the ways you can encourage him and swell his heart. Oh, he will improve. He will improve very well.
Reprimand is reprimand. Encouragement is encouragement. Do not tell your child so much the road to follow. Show him. Even the best-intentioned parent has to withhold his suggestions. Your child is going to follow you. He will embody you. Let him have his space even to misbehave. You don’t have to notice. You are not a policeman giving as many tickets as you can. Hands off as much as possible.
It is important that you love your children, your family, your friends, from your inner heart as I love you. It is My desire to inspire you. And so I ask you to Inspire all. Fill hearts. Let all hearts know you are behind them. Be behind them and not on their back.
This is easier said than done, I understand. Yet this is a great key I am giving to you. This will open the Heavens. It will certainly open doors to and from your heart. Use this key. Be what you want others to be. Don’t pick on any one, not even yourself.
Open wide your heart. Love is better than criticism any day of the week. If criticism comes in a salt shaker, use it very sparingly, maybe once a week, no more. Choose your occasions.
You are a key. You are an opener. You are the key to open other hearts. It is a blessing to open hearts. It is a blessing to be a messenger of love. From the recesses of your heart, love. Turn the key of your heart now.

HEAVEN #3677 The Journal of Your Life, December 19, 2010
God said:
The world has taught you safety above all. Where did the idea of safety come from? It came from the idea of fear. Dismiss fear, and you won’t be craving safety. You will be craving to live life to its fullest.
I do not tell you to be foolhardy. I do not tell you to be without common sense, but, ah, My children, what you see as common sense and what I see as common sense may be two different denominators.
I say to live to the hilt. I say to taste experience in life and move on. There is always more adventure ahead. What happened yesterday happened yesterday. There is more to savor today.
Get out of the fear mode. Get out of what if when what if is fearful. Get into the what if when what if is exhilarating.
Life is meant to be exhilarating. Let life be awesome, not fearsome.
It is not necessary to attain life as others may. Attain life according to you. If you don’t want to climb mountains, you don’t have to climb mountains. If someone likes to explore caves, that doesn’t mean you have to explore caves. Find that which you like to do. I also might add, how do you know you don’t like climbing a mountain until you’re tried it once? On the other hand, you don’t have to try anything. You don’t need to go bungee-jumping to prove that you can. Maybe you don’t need to try it. Maybe it’s not for you. Maybe another kind of adventure is for you. Maybe reading a book is for you. Or planting a garden. Or whistling while you work.
You are not counting adventures in life. There is no check-list, you understand.
When there is not fear, there is not bravery. There is simply living life.
Living life for you may be speaking to someone first, may be learning to dance, to sing, to play the piano. Your life is for you to choose and not to prove anything. You don’t have to prove courage. You don’t have to be afraid not to do something that everyone is doing. You have your own life, and it is for you to discover what is your intrinsic joy. You are seeking joy, beloveds, not points.
In your pursuit of joy, you emit joy. It is that simple. As much as possible, do that which gives you joy. And that which you must do and may not want to do, make that joy-filled as well. There is a lot to be said for an idea in your mind, the angle you come from, what you tell yourself. Give yourself some good news, new advice, new awareness of the joy that even sweeping a floor can give. Do you get My drift?
When you come to feel that life is the same old thing, turn on a new radio station with new songs you never heard before.
It is your mind that makes you tired. It is your mind that gives you fear. The mind can do anything it wants unless you pull on its reins or give your mind a go-ahead. Choose the direction your mind is to go in. You are powerfully affected by random thoughts of your mind.
Read a new book. Or cut out the pages of the old one when they hold you back.
Blank pages are good. Fill them in.
Ultimately, you are writing the journal of your life. It is what you say it is. Have good things to say about it. Even be glad for disappointment, for disappointment pushes you along. Above all, be glad for the grace in your life. Be glad for every morsel. Be glad.

HEAVEN #3675 You Are Love, December 17, 2010
God said:
You have stolen My heart. That is, I am taken with you. From the first moment of Eternity that you occurred to Me, you stole My heart and made it yours. Of course, you cannot steal what is already rightfully yours. So I will say that you got caught in My heart, occupied My heart, stirred it, filled it. You are the love of My life. You have entered the interstices of My heart from the beginning of non-time. You have fostered Me. There is no one-way. There is reciprocity. There is love inescapable. There is love. There is Our love which winds through days like morning glories. We are caught up in a tide of love, an everlasting tide of love that sweeps across the Universe. Love has been made manifest. You are the manifestation of My love.
Do you still feel that you have to chase it, chase love, as if you were unloved, or not loved enough and have to find some on your own? Love will come to you. It will come to you of its own accord. Love is a natural outgrowth – or ingrowth – of life on Earth. Earth without love does not exist. Love has many ways of turning itself around in order to be noted. Yet love is not a prima donna. Love flows in a stream of itself. It laps everywhere. You are a river of love, or a necklace of love, a lei of love, an infinite chain of love, or alighting butterflies of love. This is butterfly season.
Put away your nets. You don’t have to capture love. You have only to reveal love to yourself. Love is the path of your heart. Love is like radar, and love is like a country lane, and love is what We are, what I AM and what you ARE. It is an inescapable path that We are on. There is no abandoning the path of love that We are already on. Love is the only path that there is, and We are on it, you and I, hand in hand, heart in heart, love meeting and melting, molten gold of love. We are heartful of love, mindful of love, filled to the brim, overflowing with love, saturated with love, opening with love. No need to forage for love.
Love needs no driver’s license. Love goes at the right speed. Love is universal, and it is unique. Love is everything. It is the salt of life. Everything is better with love, love at the head of the table, love, the main course.
Love is like seedlings you have planted. The seeds sprout. They keep popping up and reaching the sun.
Love is not around the corner. Of course, love is at every corner, and, yet, there is no waiting for love. You are already on the bus of love. You are already rounding the corner. There is no corner on love. All have it, no one owns it. Love is not piecemeal. Love is wholemeal.
We can always factor in love. Love is the energy of the Universe. Love is the light of God, no two ways about it. Love is your fulfillment. Love is your everything.
The love to count on is the love in your heart, streaming through your awareness. You love more than you know. You love Allness more than you know. True, you are a spark of love, yet this spark of love that you are encompasses the whole world and all of Heaven. You are love infinite. You are blazing love, lighting up the stars. You are love.

HEAVEN #3676 The Teachings of the World , December 18, 2010
God said:
The world is such an influence on you. Mind you, the world is not always mistaken. Often it is. Too often it is. Much too often it is. Many of the lessons the world teaches you are not in your best interest. What is not in the individual’s best interest is not in the world’s best interest. The world just hasn’t caught on to this. It is catching on now. You are catching on now.
Odds are you were taught or learned or picked up out of the world’s vapor that you have to watch out for yourself. You have to protect yourself. You must make sure you are not taken advantage of. Now you are learning that you have to watch out for others, tend to others. Now you are learning that all rise together or fall together. You are learning that there are no others. There are seeming others. It is yourself that you see. Everyone you see is yourself, a portion of yourself. And everyone you see is a portion of Me, as are you. You begin to see that life in the world really comes down to Oneness.
The world did not teach you about Oneness. It showed you that life was between “them and me.”
The world taught you that life was not fair. It did not teach you that love in peace or war is fair.
The world taught you that you were denied. It did not tell you about infinite supply.
Furthermore, the world did not teach you that you were okay, always were, always are, always will be. It taught you that you were lacking and in great need, perhaps abandoned in a worthless corner of the world. The world did not exalt itself. How, then, could it exalt you?
The world sent you false pictures and claimed them to be true. The world didn’t know better. It thought it was doing the right thing by teaching you fear and suspicion and how to look out for yourself.
The world taught you to grab what you could and keep it for yourself. It taught you that someday you might be hungry and need that morsel. The world taught you selfishness. It did not teach you generosity.
And you may have been no better to the world. You put it down. You diminished it. Now you shrug your shoulders and give up on the world. Beloveds, you kicked the world, innocently believing that that was what had to be done. You may have tried to fix the wounds of the world one at a time.
The world did not give you true allegiance, yet now it is for you to nourish the world with the truth of what it can be. It can be a friendly place for all. And you will do this without recrimination. You will do this by loving the world and yourself in it. You will do this.
You will not do this by hopping around on one foot. You will do this by leaping into the world with both feet while you recognize that you are in Heaven. You can have both. Earth and Heaven can be One. That’s how Earth was meant to be, Heaven on Earth.
Now lift up Earth to Heaven. Give it as offering to Me. Say, “Here, God, is the world as You made it, a playground of love. Here is Earth the way You gave it to me. Now I give You the world to be proud of. Now I give you myself to be proud of. I give you an oasis. I give you the Garden of Eden as You made it be. I give You my heart, and I give You the Heart of the World. I give You and the world on the altar of my love. I now know the world as You made it, and I thank You. I give to You the gift of the world.”

HEAVEN #3674 The Tea of Heaven, December 16, 2010
God said:
Your heart is brewing a wonderful drink for the world. The water is not yet at a boil. Close, though, very close. And then, almost without your volition, you will add remarkable tea leaves and let them steep. These are tea leaves that tell your fortune. These are tea leaves that ARE your fortune.
Your fortune is love, and love is beginning to bubble dramatically in your heart. The tea of love. The herb tea of love. And it is always served warm. There is no iced tea of love.
This tea is so fragrant that you almost don’t have to drink it. To sense it is enough. Nevertheless, it does have to be brewed.
Perhaps it is I Who brews the tea, and you are the teapot. It could be like that. I stand over the stove on which the water boils. Of course, all love is My cup of tea.
Who cares whose love it is? In every case, pass it on. Serve this aromatic tea.
The tea is brewed. It was brewed in the hearth of your heart. It goes up the chimney. Love is happening. The steam of this tea does not evaporate. It fills the Earth. It enters every living being. Every living being becomes a loving being. No one can withstand this ebullient cup or pot of tea. This is indeed sun tea, beloveds.
It is made in the sunshine of love. The temperature keeps itself just right. This tea is always ready to serve. It is passed from hand to hand. It is passed from eye to eye. It is passed in silence.
Everyone may not know fully what they are serving. Nevertheless, they are serving.
This is a flower of tea that brews in cup or pot or urn. This is a collective tea. A candle of light comes with it. You are a manufacturer of tea. You are a householder of tea. Come, have some tea now. Drink it now, and your love will be heightened. It cannot help itself.
Everyone will breathe in the aroma. No one will escape. Babies, born of Heaven, will absorb this Tea of Heaven. Babies, born of this tea, will never tell themselves that Earth is separate from Heaven. Babies will suckle this special tea from their mother’s breast.
This tea will be like coffee in that it wakes you up to love, and it keeps you awake to love. This tea is going to be served everywhere with everything. You will never be without it. There will be no place to go that does not have it and serve it. It will be like incense that fills the room even when you don’t see where the sweet aroma comes from. Your heart will be filled with it.
Post office, super market, gas stations will bestow stamps of love upon you. Grocery stores will bestow the food of love, gas stations the fuel of love. Love will be served.
Admit. It is happening now. Why are you surprised? Love is now the medium of exchange. When you pay a bill, you will pay with love, and the bill collector will give you a receipt of love. There will be no other medium of exchange. Oh, yes, money will pass from hand to hand, yet money will only be a token of the love that is exchanged, passed from hand to hand, from heart to heart, from man to man, from sun to earth, from star to star, from bubble to bubble, from flower to leaf. This sun of love will never dry up. It is yours forever.

HEAVEN #3672 The Flute of God’s Heart , December 14, 2010
God said:
There is no stretch in your being that which you already are. To shine fully as you are requires only that you lift the veils of ignorance that have covered up your natural beauty. It is you who covered up your beauty. Now it is you who has to remove the splinter from your own eye. You have kept truth hidden from view. It was not done to you. You perpetrated the fraud on yourself. Of course, you did have a little help from the world at large and the patterns that the world had set.
You bought into fiction, and you have kept up the illusion that the fiction is true, and that truth is fiction. You hold onto this thought tightly. It is a convincing thought. How could you, you mumble to yourself, possibly be Greatness? You? You think you know yourself too well. You know every thought and emotion. Nevertheless, you haven’t begun to know yourself. Naturally, you have to go beneath the surface. The surface is that you haven’t shaved today, or put on make-up. You haven’t yet wiped the sleepy sand out of your eyes. Your vision is blurred. That is the surface.
It’s not that you don’t have the eyes to see. You do have the eyes to see, and yet you do not see. Perhaps you haven’t dared look. As much as you disbelieve that you are wholly Greatness, you fear that if you dared to look, your slightest hope would be dashed. Well, dears, make your hopes reality. Make them come true. They are already true. Make your hopes stand up and declare their truthfulness.
Too often, in the morning, when it is time to wake up, you don’t want to wake up. You make a last effort to stay asleep or go back to sleep and keep your eyes closed to the sunshine streaming in your window.
Tarry not. Wake up now. The rooster is crowing.
***
When it comes to Heavenletters, we can compare them to flowers. All flowers are flowers. There are many varieties of flowers. They come from different angles, as it were. They all pretty much have stems and leaves and blooms. There are countless shades of color and variations. Countless varieties of flowers. Some grow this way, and some grow that way, and, yet, a flower is a flower.
We can say that there are infinite flowers of Heavenletters. No two are exactly alike. At the same time, each Heavenletter, as it blooms, repeats itself. It shares the commonwealth of Heavenletters. It is as if the same photo is taken from a different angle. Some Heavenletters get into more detail. Some are more poetic. Some are more down-to-earth. Some are easier to follow than others. Some are opaque. Some twist and turn on the page. Some stride across the page. Some go fast, and some go slowly. Some take you by the collar and shake you. Some take you lazily down a gentle stream. There are rollicking Heavenletters and Heavenletters that stand still.
It could be possible to say that all Heavenletters are a variation of one theme. It could be possible to say that all Heavenletters are about love and how to love and how to move forward and how to love some more. And, yet, no Heavenletter is a how-to. Heavenletters are not step-by-step manuals. They are not manuals. They are not a series. Each Heavenletter stands on its own, and yet each builds on another.
Each is a note of a song I sing to you or play for you on the flute of My heart.

HEAVEN #3673 The Beat of God’s Heart, December 15, 2010
God said:
You may feel the beat of My heart in music, in words, in silence. The beat of My heart is, of course, within your own heart. One might say that My heart is the speaker, and your heart the receiver, and yet We are more than that. You are also the speaker, and I receive from you.
Blessed is the heart that receives My heartbeat. That means that every heart is blessed. You may be unaware, yet there has never been a time when My heart was not beating in yours. On one level, you are unaware. On another level, your heart is overflowing with the beat of My heart and all the love I share with you. Your heart beats because of My heart. Your heart and My heart pound love, love, love. The difference between your heart and Mine is that Mine is one-pointed on love, and your heart, well, your heart gets distracted on one thing or another.
Come back to love. Bang the drums of love in your heart. Only then are you happy. Off track you are not happy. When an event in life, a word, a look, anything at all, distracts you from love, you are off-course, and cannot be happy. Love is the song of your heart as it is Mine. Play the song of My heart in yours. Hear this tune.
Consider that your heart is wrapped up in Mine. That is, My heart is wrapped around yours. Your heart is wrapped in the arms of My love. What more needs to be said? That you have wandered away? Well, yes, that can be said. You went to a casino, and you got caught up in the slot machines of life. You started listening to a different beat. You got caught up in the epitome of relative life. Now you feel sad.
In Greek literature, there were sirens who tempted heroes to stop and stay with them a while, and it was hard for the heroes to escape the spellbinding sirens. Do you not know that you are the heroes the same who will return to your home where your heart belongs? That you return is inevitable. You cannot be stopped at the wayside forever.
And, so, I invite you to spend time with Me while you are on Earth. Do not save Me for a rainy day, beloveds. Let Us hold hands now as you romp around the games in life. Be the torch bearer of Heaven. What else do you really have to do? What pulls you away?
You have a million excuses. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you can be the torch bearer of Heaven. Go public with your light. You will light up the world. You will light up your life. Even while you are accomplishing the humdrum, you can turn on My light, the better to see you with.
I am not the spider who invites you into My parlor. I am God, the Lover of All, inviting you to sit with me a while, and let Us the treasures prove. Of course, this is My invitation to you every day, every hour, every minute. Come sit with Me a while, and look over all the treasures. I am your treasure chest. There is no other. You keep looking everywhere, and yet I am right here, beckoning you on.
I am the Real Thing. I pull you to My love which is yours, all yours. I pull you to My heart, which is yours, all yours. I pull you to Truth, which is yours, all yours. Come, sit with Me a while.

HEAVEN #3671 The Nature of Freedom, December 13, 2010
God said:
Rather than ask questions, give love. Is it so hard to give love? Must an inquisition come first?
Somewhere along the line, you learned that pride comes before all else, that ego, disguised as pride, is foremost, that dignity counts more than love. You too often let your mind decide love for you. Your mind judges if you are giving love in the right place, and how much love you should give given the mind’s counting factors. And, so, you are mindful of yourself and what you have to gain when, all the while, love is the heart’s domain, when giving is the heart’s domain. According to your heart’s giving is your heart’s wealth. Only a heart giving of itself has room to receive. Only a loving heart is wealthy.
A heart of love is not a stinting heart. A heart of love does not count pennies. A heart of love cannot be a miser and be a heart of love at the same time.
You are concerned about ego, or you are giving love. Which is it?
Ego pats your back. Love strengthens from inside.
You know that I am a big proponent of love. I sing its praises to the High Heavens. I extol love. I proclaim it.
Is more love in the world needed? Then you must promote love. I am not talking about love in neon lights. I am talking of simple acts. I am not talking of long romance or special personal relationships. I am talking of giving love wherever you are. It is a courtesy to give love.
If you see an unruly child in a store, here is an opportunity for you to smile at the child. If you see a cross mother who has lost patience, do not frown at her. Of course, she should be kind and loving and not cross. So then be you kind and loving, even if it is without a word. Do not condemn even silently. Do not condemn.
There is no one in this world who can’t use a little blessing from you. Surprise someone. Surprise everyone. Surprise yourself.
Surely you have your own problems. What of that? That is not the point. The point is that you are here on Earth to give love. You are not here to focus on your problems. You are here to love. Loving doesn’t mean to condone. It means to give a little sweetness to others along the way. You are not indentured to someone because you give. You are free to give, that’s all. If you can help someone carry a package up the steps, why wouldn’t you? You didn’t think of it? Why didn’t you think of it?
You are a humble servant to all on Earth. That is not humiliating. When you see a need, you fill it, and so you raise yourself higher and higher. He who puts a pillow under someone’s head has heightened the world.
Have your eye out for opportunities to leave a trail of love like pebbles on your path.
When you feel bereft, that is prime time for you to give a gift of yourself, not in pride, but in humility, not in need but in the spirit of giving.
No longer overlook even one opportunity to give as you pass by another being. Be like a soft summer breeze. As you open your heart, you open others’ hearts. You open the heart of the world. You welcome life. You venture forth in life. Grab hold of life. As you grab hold, you release your hold, and you give love, and that is the nature of freedom.

HEAVEN #3670 Toss Stars to the World, December 12, 2010
God said:
Come, lift up your eyes to Mine. Be My equal. Be what you already are. You are not to hide behind closed doors. Your heart is not to hide. A hiding heart is a weak heart. Be strong-hearted and come out of the cupboard. Your heart is to be seen and felt and known. Your heart is the rallying heart of the world. Make your heart be the sounding call of the world. Let your heart be the leader of love in the world that you live in.
I am not telling you what you can be. I am telling you what you are. Be that which you are. To thine own self, be true. Enough tiptoeing. Now is time for giant steps. Now is time for you to leap forward and set the pace of the world. No more baby steps. Now you stride across the Universe and make the Universe reveal itself in its true colors. Make the world wonderful. Make it clear that the world is wonderful. The world has been waiting for you to reveal itself in all its splendor. You do this by revealing yourself in all your splendor. Enough of your peeves. Enough of your dissatisfaction. Enough of your introspection and how you rank your evolution. Enough about focus on yourself. To find yourself, you lose yourself.
You are a servant, as I am a servant. You are to serve. It is humbling to serve, and yet it is high. In serving, you forget yourself. In service, you become the world that looks for the comfort and ease of everyone on its soil, and that is everyone on Earth. Everyone has the right to be here on Earth, and everyone has the right, even the responsibility, to shine My light. Certainly, as you shine My light on others in the world, you are lighted.
I am seeking to light your light now. Enough sitting in an easy chair. Let your heart rise up and ease the people in the world. Give them a comfortable place to sit.
I already gave you a beautiful world, and now I ask you to shine its windows so that all can see what I see. If you want to see, clean the windows. You cannot clean windows just for yourself. You have no ownership of clean windows or the sunlight, and now you are a distributor of light to the world. First to your corner of the world, and from your corner of the world, the light circulates itself further and further. Start where you are. Start.
If you live in a darkened room, open up the drapes. Let the sunshine in. Consciously send light everywhere. Open up the windows, and let the fresh air fill the interstices of the world.
When you love yourself, you can do nothing but give your love away. You come to grips with the fact that the only thing you have is love, and that love is all that you have to give. Love is indeed all. Even a snippet of love is love. If you have to get your feet wet, get them wet with a snippet of all the love I have bequeathed to you. Toss out your love the way you would toss stars to the world. You would toss them across the firmament. You would kiss each star and throw it as far across the world as you could. You would develop the muscles of your arm, and you would toss stars farther and farther, further and further, farther than the eye can see. You don’t have to see. You have to toss.

HEAVEN #3668 Change Your Story, December 10, 2010
God said:
On Earth, when you feel a heavy load on your shoulders, it is hard to think of anything else. Your shoulders are weary from carrying what you carry. You feel all the aches and pains, and you see no end to them.
Someone could say to you: “Put down the heavy load you carry.” And you don’t see how, for the load is on your shoulders. You may say: “Who is going to carry it for me? My life is burdensome. My responsibilities. My life is a burden. I see no way out.” And so you keep yourself on a dead-end street.
You are the one who says there is no way out, and you stick to your story. You hold on to what you see as a burden rather than change your story. You may want to prove yourself right, and so you keep on of the sack-cloth you wear.
You are right in this: No one is going to remove your difficulties from you. No one has to. No one is supposed to. You are supposed to make the difference. You.
Whatever the difficulties you carry, no matter how heavy, how deep, there is one common denominator, and you won’t like it.
I do not say the difficulties are not there. I say you are holding on to them too tight. You may hold on to them for dear life, as though if you did not have them, if you were not singled out for this suffering, you would be without complaint and what would be the theme of your life then? You might be bereft without your cross to bear. You have held it to you as your destiny for so long. You keep lying under it to feel crushed by it.
Let’s understand from the beginning. I do not dismiss the difficulty of your situation. I say you are holding on to it. No longer extol the exigencies of the situation you find yourself in. Your troubles are not a blue ribbon or medal that you wear. They will not go away with a snap of your finger. No one is going to take them away from you. If they are your problems, they are your problems, and they are yours to change your perception of. Change your perception, and you will change the configuration of the difficulties.
Look not for fault in any other. Put the shoe on the other foot.
Whatever your situation is, the common denominator is the same. You see it one way, and you are unable to see it another way.
It is likely that you blame. You blame others. You blame fate. You blame Me. When you blame, you are feeling hostile, and you blame your hostility on the circumstances. That keeps you right where you started. Blame gets you nowhere. You go around in circles. When you go around in circles, you don’t see clearly. No matter how justified, your anger belongs to you. And anger is short-sighted. Of course, it is. See further. See around the corner. See change.
When a problem seems insurmountable, you see no options but for someone or something to rescue you. Or for you to leave. Or for someone else to leave. Or, or, or. You leave out many other possibilities. Of course, you do, or you would have changed your situation internally long ago.
I do not say that to leave or to stay is right or wrong. I say that I do not want you or any other to suffer. And yet, often, your compassion is for yourself, and you have none for what you may see as the scourge of your existence.
Find compassion for the other. Be merciful.

HEAVEN #3666 Sail the High Seas, December 8, 2010
God said:
Nothing is bleak but that you say it is. You accept bleakness. Life is in bright color, beloveds. It is not bleak.
If someone came up and handed you a lit grenade, you would not accept it. You would run away from it. In the same way, you do not have to accept bleakness or dreariness or anything that you don’t want. You don’t have to accept it, and if you have accepted it, you don’t have to keep it. You can throw it far away. Picture yourself throwing a sense of bleakness away.
Sometimes you forget that you have free will. If you sit in a chair moping, you can get up and not mope.
You can feel bereft, if you choose, yet you do not have to feel bereft.
What can you be bereft of when you have Me? I am aware that you have much to say to defend your sense of feeling bereft, yet you don’t have to defend feeling bereft, and you don’t have to keep it. The truth is that you are overflowing with gifts, and yet you put bereftness before them. Are you spoiled? You received one hundred toys at Christmas, and you yearn for the one you don’t have. Be grateful for what you do have. Be grateful for what you did have.
Count your blessings is an oft-heard refrain. Count your blessings, and you will never finish counting.
Let your heart become the Light Brigade I made it to be. Your heart is not meant to be a thermometer that goes up and down. Your heart is not meant to be a weather vane. Your heart is not meant to waver.
If you are in the doldrums, get out of the doldrums. Why would you choose to stay there? Do you like being in the doldrums? Sometimes it would seem so, and yet how do the doldrums serve you? Are they a punishment? For what, beloveds? Give yourself a break, and get out of the doldrums.
Live your life with alacrity. You are alive. Although temporary, although a dream, your life is worth something. Decide to enjoy life while it is still here in front of you. What else should you do with life but enjoy it. Choose now. Set the ship’s course to joy. Once set, conditions will be favorable for your journey. All the conditions are not imposed on you. Or, if they are imposed, you can set sail with or without them. Have bigger things on your mind. Anything is bigger than the shallows you sometimes put yourself in.
You do not have to take life lying down. Get up, Sparky, and get on with life. Life is your fortune. Set out to find your fortune. You are someone fortunate. Now, dear ones, don’t start trying to prove that you are not. I say you are fortunate. Think of your good fortune. Think of yourself as fortunate. You possess the light of God. My light is yours. I light your path. Follow Me. This way to Paradise. Hitch a ride with Me.
Together, We shall have the ride of the century. Together, We are undaunted.
Where has your sense of bereftness gone now? Are you done with it? I tell you that you are done with it. If you think you may still have it, then cast it aside. Cast it out. Take what you require of life, and it will not be grayness. What good is grayness to you? Acquire brightness. No longer put yourself through that which you don’t want. Toss out that which keeps you in bondage. Set yourself free. Sail the High Seas.

HEAVEN #3667 Hansel and Gretel, December 9, 2010
God said:
Remember that you are on Earth at My bequest. It was My idea. This means that you are here for a purpose. You do not have to be able to name your purpose in order to fulfill it. Most do not know the immediate and intimate aims of their existence on Earth, and, yet, their purpose is fulfilled. They fulfill it. Their purpose is not wrested out of their hands. No one else fulfills your purpose for you. You are the only one.
That you do not know what your purpose is does not mean that your purpose is not important. It is very important. You don’t have to know your purpose in order to fulfill it. Your purpose is not something you check off on a list and say, “Done.”
In one sense, you have one purpose. In another sense, your purpose is manifold. On the path you travel, you fulfill your purpose. The path you travel is not your purpose, yet on the way, you fulfill your purpose. And yet your purpose is not a one-shot thing. We could say that you are your purpose, or, perhaps more accurately that you are My purpose. Surely, you know I intended you. I intended the Truth of you.
You do not always live your truth. Sometimes you mask it. Sometimes you are afraid of it. Too often you are afraid to see yourself as the magnificence I made you. Do not overlook your importance any longer. If you consider yourself a horse, you may have seen yourself a nag. Nevertheless, you are a noble steed. The worst you can be is a noble steed in disguise. Disguise can be washed off or worn off or taken off. A disguise is a disguise. A disguise is not truth.
Consider in your life that you are like Hansel and Gretel in the forest. In the Hansel and Gretel story, the two children left breadcrumbs so they could find their way back. In your story, I have left twigs and leaves like arrows and little stones in the underbrush of the forest for you to follow. I left many clues for you on the floor of the forest and also in your DNA. Even as you may feel lost, you are finding your way. We could say that finding your way is your purpose, and, yet, there is more to it than that. Finding your way is reading the map of yourself.
This does not mean to be so introspective, for then you are self-centered. Your purpose is definitely not to be self-centered.
Blind or not, you are on the way to fulfilling your purpose. Follow your purpose single-handedly, and yet your purpose has more than one vein to follow. You are on a treasure hunt. You are about to discover gold. There is more than one lode to discover.
Along the way, you may discover gold that is yours only to give to someone else. It is yours to point to on behalf of someone else. All your good fortune is part of your purpose. It is indeed good fortune to find gold that is someone else’s or yours to give to someone else.
Consider life a giant jigsaw puzzle. Each piece fits perfectly. You are not the whole puzzle. You are an essential part of it, and all the puzzle pieces are connected. They embrace. A piece of a puzzle is only a piece. A clue to your purpose is that you contribute to the whole. Clasp all others. You are connected. You are interconnected. A clue to your purpose is that you are Wholeness. A clue to your purpose is that you associate. You do not disassociate. You raise a flag that has words embroidered on it. What does the flag say? What are the words you want on your flag?

HEAVEN #3665 Make Room for Love , December 7, 2010
God said:
You like what you like, and you don’t like what you don’t like. That is fair enough. What you like, however, matters. What you don’t like, let it go. Carry on. Let go of the bygones. Don’t carry them. Do not put your nose up in the air about what you don’t like. In terms of life, what you don’t like isn’t important. What you don’t like is only what you don’t like. Don’t complain. Move over to what you do like.
Don’t get enmeshed in your troubles or anyone else’s. For what purpose? For commiseration? For drama? For gossip? Does talk of trouble make you important? Does talk of trouble make you a star? A prima-donna? Do you think that talk of troubles, yours or someone else’s, somehow makes you smart or powerful? Or does it make you weak?
Dislikes don’t need your full attention. Walk away from them. You do not have to be superior to anything, not to anything. You, who may well have lack of sense of self worth, nevertheless feel yourself superior or more discerning than others. You lick your chops over what you see as less.
By certain standards, you feel superior to the ant that crawls at your feet. But are you, are you really? You and the ant are here at My bidding, and ants do what ants do, and you do what human beings do. Ants are earnest, and they work hard, and they support one another. You do not even imagine what purpose ants play in your life and the life of the world, and birds sing a beautiful song each morning. And why not you? Why not you?
Find more to like and more to value. Do it today. Imagine all the little things that serve you, and yet you have overlooked them, as if they aren’t worth your attention. You haven’t thought for one minute to value them. Value them now. The floor under your feet. The ground you walk on. The sky above. A moving shadow. The sunlight. Laughter. Give importance to what you like. Do not give importance to what you don’t like.
I am pointing you to love. Love the leaves that fall. Love the pines. Love the weather. Love the hot and love the cold. They all serve you. Growing things breathe with you. The same God loves you and all the growing things. Let Us call love – what shall We call love? – that which you honor, that which you appreciate, that which you call yourself to do, that which you thank Me for, that which you value. So value a lot. Value more. Like more. Respect more. Love more. As you appreciate more, you love more. You will love yourself more.
Discontentment lies with yourself. Put your discontent on a thousand things outside you, and discontent still comes down to you. The outside world does not demand discontent from you. You demand it from yourself, as though it were queenly to be discontent. It is not queenly. It is the opposite of queenly. Queenly is gracious, and I ask you to be gracious to the world and everything in it. Be gracious. Have manners. Have manners, and you will gain insights. Start liking everything you do. Start valuing yourself. In My book, there are no lowly anythings. I love everything. I love. Love is My State of Being. Adopt My State of Being. Love. See how much love you can stir up from the depths of your heart. Empty the trash. Bring in love. Make room for love.

HEAVEN #3664 Today, and Today, and Today, December 6, 2010
God said:
My child spoke to Today today. My child said:
“Hello, Today, this day. May you be an umbrella for all the children of God. Open, may your umbrella shield us all from rain. Closed, may your umbrella point the way to God’s heart.
“What is this entity that we call today? What are you? You’re not time and space, for God says there are none. Yet, even if time and space did exist, what are you? Today, whether you drag your feet or speed by, you seem to be adamant about spinning your wheels. Do you run over us, or do we run over you? Are you the delivery man? Are you the ice cream man? Or are you music?
“If you take place, are you a place? If you spin, are you time? Are you a path that I run down or run in place on? Are you a jogging path? You are a provider. You are an offerer. What you offer changes day by day, minute by minute. Perhaps you are a platform.
“You provide yourself daily, and yet, who can put a finger on you except in a calendar? There are names for you, and, like yourself, they change. One day you are a Monday in August, and another day you are something else. Today, what are you? What will you be? Are you as blindfolded as I am?
“You are loyal, for sure. You always turn up. You have never missed. You put your shoulder to the wheel. You are a day over and over again, and your face changes, and what you’re up to changes. You change right before our eyes. Do you have moods? Do you have wings that fly?
“At whose bidding are you? What brings you, and where do you go? What do you have to do with me, and I with you? What are we to each other? You would think that we would know each other very well by now, and yet… You are new every day, and it seems I have never met you before. Are you my shadow, or am I yours? Who follows whom?
“You are dutiful, that is for sure. But what is your goal? Where are you going? Are you a mere watermill that goes round and round and powers the mill? Are we just grist for the mill, or are we, after all, stars descended from the sky for a short while? What do you make of you and what do you make of me, Today? Are we companions, or do we walk past each other? Do I just use you like a floor mat I walk on? Of what use to you am I when I race after you every time you appear? Or, do you chase after me? Are you the house I live in?
“There is something that goes on here on Earth between us. We know there is life going on. You are definitely more than a page on the calendar. I think I don’t love you enough. Do you love me? Or are you impartial? You offer yourself as you are. Do you have real interest in me, in all of us? Are you just a roll of the dice? Or are we the dice that roll on you?
“What are you when you become Yesterday? What are you when you become Tomorrow? Do you become past or future? Are you young, or are you old? What testimony do you give, or do you say anything at all? Are you neutral? Are you impersonal? Do you love me? Do I love you?
“Today, let’s you and I fall in love, and let us dance in harmony and be perfect for each other.”

HEAVEN #3663 Love Is Like Snow Falling, December 5, 2010
God said:
Everything is easy with love. What can be hard when your heart soars with love? What is love but light, and what is light but energy? Smooth is the power of love. Love is an engine that runs smoothly, or love is the fuel that runs the engine of your heart. Love feeds the heart, there is no doubt of that.
Love is not effort. When filled with love, hearts are light-hearted. There have been many odes written to love, and not one says it all. There is always more to be said about love because love is not finite.
Love is the fuel you run on. Without love, there would be no creation. Although I had the thought or impulse to create the world, it was My love that created it. The world was made from love, and it was made of love. You are love. I created your love with the fullness of My love. I didn’t make you half-love, for I created you with a full heart. I didn’t think and think and rethink you. I did not craft you, as it were. You came from My heart. Made of My love, you are love, and you are My love. No matter how far from love you may have detoured, love is not absent. It can be reawakened. Loving yourself is a beginning. Loving yourself is not conceit. Loving yourself is recognition of what you are made of. You are made of love. You are made solidly of love for the purpose of loving. Simple and complete are you, My love. Unburden yourself of what has kept you from love. Your thoughts. Your thoughts have masked love. Your thoughts have taken bites out of your love.
You cut off your love. You chopped it up. You put love into categories and subsections. You formalized love. You logicalized it. You mechanized it. You made varied packages of it. You held love by a thread. You washed and dried love. You splintered it. You made an automat of love. Love became played like a slot machine.
Love cannot be packaged. Love streams. It can’t be bottled. It cannot be on demand. Love arises of itself. That is what love loves to do, to simply arise from the fount of your heart and be itself. No mandates for love. No pressing it down. No prescribing for it. You do not know better than love. Love knows better than you. You don’t know the half of love.
Love is like snow falling, so gracefully, serenely, gladly. You cannot make it snow. The difference between love and snow is that there are conditions for snow. The temperature has to be such and so. But snow and love are alike in that you cannot stop the snow on command, and when it comes to love, why on Earth would you want to stop it? Because of some idea, I suppose.
Personal love is love partitioned. You have checkpoints for personal love, as though you were crossing a border. Of course, without love, you are bordered. With love, there are no borders. Grab a hold of universal love. Recognize it. Get a sense of love without boundaries. How easy it is to cross boundaries when there aren’t any.
Love your child, and love all children.
Love the land you were born in, and love all lands.
Love your family, and love all families.
Love your loved ones, and love all as though they were yourself. They are yourself. That’s the tricky part, for until you love yourself more, you do not love your neighbors very well. You don’t even know them. You make up things about them. You may prefer to dislike them as you dislike yourself. When you love yourself, your heart holds room for all.

HEAVEN #3319 Now You Are Wiser, December 26, 2009
God said:
Are you not desirous of hearing My thought? Are you not desirous over and over again? Is there anyone on Earth who gets enough of Me? Is there anyone who doesn't want to follow the trail all the way to My heart?
You are on the trail, beloveds. No matter how far away you may feel from Me, you are on the trail. In fact, I am right before you, beside you, all around you. I propel you along.
All the seeming wrong turns you have taken, you were right on target. I know this is hard to believe, for you see error, sometimes even dire error. Please consider that there is no error. Error does not exist. Nevertheless, regrets are rampant.
When you walk on a path and come to a pothole, you can step over it or go around it or even turn around and go a different way. However you do it, you do it. It makes no sense to regret the means you used to go around a pothole. In any case, now you are on the other side of the pothole. You made it. You got past it.
Now, perhaps, you think you could have swum across. Maybe yes, maybe no.
Once you made an error in arithmetic. You erased it, and put the asked-for number in, the number that is named correct. What an opportunity you had. You used the eraser on your pencil, and you got the answer right. How wonderful you are!
You are a child trying to get the answers right. Sooner or later you do. Why regret the steps it took to get it right this time? Beloved beloveds, erase error from your memory. You wouldn't know to regret if you didn't have a better answer now. Now you are wiser. Don't be sadder.
Once you couldn't see. Now you can see.
Some potholes you didn't see. You see now. Now stop looking behind you.
Once upon a time, you tripped over a pothole. Is that such a terrible thing that you tripped? Is it so terrible that thoughts of it should plague you? I suggest that you repent about having regrets, and so let go of regrets. Regrets do not belong to you. Perhaps they belong to ego.
How does a child learn to walk? He falls down, and he gets up, and soon he has it right. A young child knows better than to moan and groan about the times he fell. He can walk now. He knows the glory of walking. The child doesn't regret that once he was a child.
You are getting life right now. I am so proud of you, how you pick yourself up and keep walking. Now drop off the suitcases of yesteryear and no longer carry them with you. In fact, carry nothing with you. Free yourself from all occasions of the past. Whatever you have gained from the past, you have gained, but now the past itself is to be let go of. Get your claws off it.
If you walk backwards, beloveds, you miss out on what is in front of you.
Keep your eye on Me, beloveds. I am leading you. Follow Me. Stride with Me. Abide with Me. Do you see Me looking at you now? I beckon you. I catch your eye. That is enough. We walk through life together. What error can there be when you walk with Me?

God said:
Love does not mean dependence. Your love is to set others free and yourself as well. Love does not bind. It does not bind the other nor does it bind you. You are not a prisoner of love. You are a fulfiller of love. You are the responder and receiver of love.
Love calls to you and meets itself within your heart. Love resides in the heart at the very moment it is given. Love is multi-directioned. It is not hoarded, nor is it frivolous. Love goes beyond borders. Love has no borders unless you make them up. Love does not say, “This far, and no further.”
Some minds tell the heart where it can love and where it cannot love. Have you ever heard of anything so foolish? Love, by its very nature, is unbounded. There are no exceptions. Love does not walk down narrow aisles. Love does not say: “I will go here, but not there.” Love is bigger than that. Love is bigger than anything. We are talking about love beyond physical attraction. Let your love be attracted everywhere. Love is not a nit-picker. Love is for all. Love is a way of being. You are love, and love goes everywhere and sees love everywhere. Love loves the lovely, and love loves the so-called unlovely. Love is a condition of your heart.
Love does not stand back. Love does not wait for permission. Love is like a lovely mist that falls everywhere.
By your very presence, hearts are stirred. You do not stir hearts, yet they are stirred by your love. You pass through others’ lives, and they are stirred by your love. Your love emboldens them. Here comes your love. It is rushing to and fro right now.
Love does not depart. It embraces. It embraces on a silent level. Love does not have to put its arms around anyone. By its very nature, love embraces. A hug is nice, but it is nothing next to love that needs no demonstration, love that just has to be allowed to be.
Love is not meant to be dependent upon your thoughts. Love is not a snare that traps you. There is bigger love than personal love. Personal love is practice for universal love. The Great Ones simply loved. They loved all. They did not bill and coo love. They loved. The way a flower reveals its sweet scent, the Great Ones revealed their love. Love is bigger than life. You are bigger than life.
Let love be, and laugh.
Love in the world searches for Oneness. Everyone wants Oneness. Everyone craves it. Love is not out there, beloveds. That is not where you find it. You find it within yourself. The sunshine of love dwells within you. And the sun shines on all.
You have had glimpses of love. You have had glimpses of Oneness. Now you are going to see more love, feel more love. You are going to let love out. You will not be a sponge of love. You will be a giver of love. You will stand tall and give love wherever you are and whatever you are doing. You are simply going to shine your love everywhere. And the sun is going to shine on you, beloveds. It already is. You would not be here unless the sun has been shining on you.
You are at a beautiful place now. You are on the verge of love, and you are going to go all the way with love. You will not have to hold onto banisters. Your love will fly free. As it flies free from you, you are exalted. Love rises to Heaven, and you are risen.

HEAVEN #3660 God-bountiful, December 2, 2010
God said:
You are constantly on the tip of My tongue. I savor My thoughts of you. My thoughts of you are an eternal present I give to Myself.
My heart beats within the pauses of thoughts of you. The whole wide world opens up as My heart encompasses you. You are encompassed in My heart, and so you dispel the world to itself.
You are a delight to Me. I know the goodness of your heart. I know when it is squeezed. I know when it is open. And I know when it is wide open. Right now your heart, your beautiful heart, is between open and wide open. Otherwise, you would not be reading My words. And when My words enter your heart, you open your heart more, and sometimes My words ream your heart wide open. Your heart is meant to be wide open. Open tends to feel vulnerable to you, as if a meteor would sail through or a foreign object would enter and exit leaving your heart wounded. It is as if you feel you are panting for breath on the shore of love and can’t quite make it.
Beloveds, you are panting for love. Waves of love wash you onto the shore of love, just where you are supposed to be. You discover yourself on a strand of love. You wake up to yourself here on the verge of love, daring to love, loving to love, being awash in love, as if there were nothing else but love, love to do and love to be. Declared or not, you are love. You are nothing but love.
Wounded love is nothing but love incomplete. It is a misperception. Cupid shoots arrows of love. Love pierces your heart, so it seems. Open your heart, and arrows will not pierce it. Hearts are meant to be open. Your heart is meant to be open. Do not be contrary to your heart.
Your heart has a great capacity for love. Nothing is going to burn up your heart. Your heart will simply expand. With each perceived assault, your heart will open wider. Your heart is not going to be consumed. Your heart is going to be elevated. Your heart is becoming unassailable. Your heart is surrounding the world, encompassing the world, nourishing the world. You are not to protect your heart. You are to contain the world in it. Welcome the world into your heart.
You are not meant to resist love. You are meant to be ebullient with love. Your heart is meant to be a fountain of love, ever rising, ever sharing its contents of love.
If you feel heartsore with the arrival of love, then give love everywhere. Do not target it. Spend it effusively. Be a lover of the world. Simply be a pitcher of love that pours love generously. What good is love if it is not generous? Love cannot be ungenerous. Love is what generates from you wholeheartedly, upliftingly, sportingly, capaciously and quietly, very quiet love, demanding nothing. Love is not walked on. Love is like the waves of the ocean as they greet the shore, lapping waves of love that ask for nothing but to be themselves, to overlap anything bounding from a human heart that is not a wave of love. Reach the shore of another heart. Be bountiful. Be heart-bountiful. Be God-bountiful. Give way to love. You are a force of love, so be it.
You might as well love with all your heart and not just with a piece of it. Be wholehearted. Love is Wholeness. It is not part-ness. It is not heartless. It is heartful. Be not afraid to love without quarter. Do not be afraid to reach the shores of love and surpass the shores. It is yourself you love in another. Keep your ability to love and to let love be free. Do not halter it.

HEAVEN #3659 What Whispers Are These?, December 1, 2010
God said:
Is it so hard to believe that you are loved beyond measure? Is it so hard to believe that I love you, and love you fully, love you without doubt, without judgment, without question? Is it so hard to believe that I conceived you and chose you? Of all the possibilities, I chose you. I placed My image within you. I placed you on Earth and never let go of you. Gave you freedom, of course, yet never let you out of My sight and My hearing and never ran out of My all-consuming love.
Believe in My love. Believe in My love and your right to it. To know that you are loved makes all the difference in the world. Feeling that love of Mine puts you on solid ground. Yes, I love Mine. And every one on Earth is Mine. No exception. Every living breathing thing is Mine. All the growing things are Mine. Even the stones are Mine. Most certainly, you are Mine.
You are My creation, My unique creation. There is no other one like you, even though all are One. You alone are you. Nobody else is. One night, I sat and thought of you. I thought: “How about a beautiful light on Earth?” And, so, I sent you, a spark of My light, to Earth as a signal of love. You are My light on Earth. What else could you be? My beloved is My beloved, and you are intractably My beloved.
Created from above, established in Heaven, I placed you on Earth. I whispered in your ear: “You are loved beyond measure. My love is firm in your heart. You are the light of My light, and I ask you to brighten Earth with the light of Myself that I have given you.” I further said: “I have also placed My confidence in you. All the confidence I have in you is yours to have. Have My great confidence. On Earth, give My light and establish Great Light on Earth so that all shall see what I have made when I made each and every one of you. You are My beautiful Beings of Light.”
And so I whispered My messages to you, and My messages are established in the DNA of your heart. Some of My messages you have kept secret even from yourself. You and I have no secrets, beloveds. An opportunity will come when you will begin to know all that I have foretold. You will hear the echoes of the whispers I gave you. You will wonder: “What whispers are these that I hear?”
You will hear My whispers louder and louder until you will burst forth in light and light the whole world.
I speak to every one of you. No one came to Earth without My blessing and the blessing of the light and the words I gave to them and that I gave to you.
I tell you now that this is the time for you to remember the glory that is yours. Now is the time that you step out of old thoughts and embrace the new. Now is the time for you to know that you are a star on Earth, and this is your time to shine.
It is time for you and your life to take an upturn. It is time for My prophecies to come true. Consider yourself an encoded prophecy, and now you come to light, and now My prophecy comes true. Behold how My prophecy unfolds. Behold how My prophecy blossoms in the light of My love. You are My love. Blossom now. Unfold My prophecy. Turn up the volume of the messages I whispered to you. I whisper them again to you. Come closer so you can hear.

HEAVEN #3658 First Love Dances in Your Heart, November 30, 2010
God said:
Isn’t it wonderful that you love? However many objects your love alights on, it is you who loves. Even when you are dependent upon love given to you, isn’t it wonderful that you love? And when there is parting, parting is such sweet sorrow.
And, yet, you are self-sufficient. Love leaves, and you do not. You stay, and lingering thoughts of your loved one positioned in life somewhere else fill you. The thing is, beloveds, that it is you and I who are together. That is what everything comes down to. Ultimately, it comes down to you and Me. We are the Bearers of Love.
Love is love. It belongs to Us only to give away. In giving Our love away, We keep it. Can you imagine if I kept all My love to Myself? Impossible. What would I have? What would I amount to?
Love is letting go. It is letting go of inhibition. It is letting go of any hold on love. It is letting go of predictions and conclusions and outcomes. Love is letting go of the past. Hanging on to the past prevents love now.
Love cannot be located, beloveds. You can’t put your finger on it. As I exist, love exists. Love and I cannot be cut into a frame. Love is a coexistence of One heart. Where love is given, love resides. The object of all your love ultimately is yourself. According to how you value yourself, you love. Of course, I am not speaking of trumped up love, love manufactured to fit an occasion. I am speaking of love that doesn’t cling, love that doesn’t cling even to the idea of itself. Love is formless. It does not come from a cookie-cutter. Love is not produced. It arises from itself.
And love resides within you. Let your love go. Do not clamp it. For what reason, would you put your love in a vise? And, yet, have you not?
What is there to fear from love? You fear it will leave your side. When you remind yourself that love is formless, what is there for you to hold onto? What can fear take away from you? Well, it has taken the heart of your love and put it away for safety’s sake. That is a dangerous thing to do.
It is not that love is on display. It is that love is to be free to be what it is when it is. Love is not a medal. It is not a display.
Now, let’s allow love to come from its corner. Love is not meant to be a wallflower. Love gets up and dances. That is what love does. First love dances in your heart, and then it must come out and dance in the world.
Love is not a pursuit. Love comes on its own. Love is secured by letting it go.
Love does not follow rules. Do not hamper love. Set the burgeoning love in your heart free.
When an impulse of love arises, listen to it. Better yet, open the throttle of your heart of love, and let it rip. What would it be like to have a day in which your heart simply loves wherever it looks! All days on Earth give you that opportunity. Full speed ahead. Full love ahead. Head for the shore of love.
This is your destination, beloveds. Park your ship of love on the shore of love. Moor it there. You are an ocean of love who parks on the shore and embraces all. You are going to arrive at love regardless.

HEAVEN #3656 The Glory of Heaven , November 28, 2010
God said:
Wherever you are sitting, I am with you. When you get up, I am with you. No matter what, I am with you. This is the Reality of life. This is the Reality of your life. All the trimmings, nice ones, not so nice ones, they are not reality. They are add on’s, accessories, comments written as though they were biographical or scientific or anything at all but fiction, scurrilous or creditable, yet fiction nevertheless.
Story rides the crest of the waves of the tiding ocean. Story is beloved in the world. You want to know how it all comes out. The story continues on Earth, and you never get to the end. There is no ending. Wherever or whenever you stop off, there is more story going on with or without you in it.
The Real Story is another thing. Beneath the fiction is the Real Story. The Real Story has all the vitality from which a story comes. The fiction doesn’t stand a chance next to the True Story. True, the Real Story doesn’t have the suspense. But which of you needs suspense when you are in the Glory of the Light of Heaven? In suspense, you are suspended. In the Glory of the Light of Heaven, your feet are on the ground, as it were. In fiction, your head is in the clouds. The world has it backwards. For a long time, the world has had it backwards.
That which is not evident in the story holds Truth. The story is based on Truth, yet the story is out-of-the-ball-park-fiction. It is fantasy played to the hilt. Your factual bio is fiction. Your vital statistics are fiction. Your entire life is a fictionalized story of love not yet believed in, love unimagined, love dampened, unheard of, squelched, trod on, buried, tormented, thrown away, burglarized, burnt, bedraggled, nefarious, and it is all fiction. Life is more than what meets the eye. What meets the eye is an infinitesimal spark of life. What meets the eye is light grown dim.
So what is it that happens in the action field of life? Nothing happens, beloveds. A lot seems to happen, but nothing happens. All the wailing and wearing sack cloth is but embroidery. From the fullness of nothingness, a tiny handwriting emerges, yet no mark is left, erased the moment it is written, tossed to the winds.
Who could make up life with all its twists and turns? And, yet, it is all made up. It is agreed upon, yet made up. The rules shift in sand. World life has become quicksand, and you have become stuck in it. Even though it is fiction, you can’t put the book down. You who are immortal feel you are immortalized in fiction. You need no immortalizing.
And yet, all this being said, life is to be lived. You don’t waste life just because it is fiction. You don’t accept a shoddy life just because it is fiction. In the fictional world, you do the utmost you can to be a hero. While you are in this dream of story, why not be the hero? Why not be the one who saves the day. Why not be the prince who carries off the princess, even as in the story, they are disguised and do not yet know their true royalty? Why not be the greatest fiction writer the world has ever seen?
Even in the world, you can live the glory of Heaven. You can be evidence of Heaven. To be sure, you are the hero of your own novel. You can be the villain too if you want, but why would you want to be anything but the hero of this drama you find yourself in?

HEAVEN #3655 A River of Happiness, November 27, 2010
God said:
The human life is in one arena, and the spiritual life is in another. The spiritual arena can exist without the human structure, but the human cannot exist without the spiritual. How could it? The spiritual is the power of life. Human life plays off that energy.
Great also is the energy of human life, yet it can only be a refrain of the spiritual energy that lies within. Spiritual power lies within each one regardless of appearance, regardless of denial, regardless of anything. Of course, the spirit exists with or without the human aspect. Human energy can only come from God and the Heavens.
You do not create your energy. Your energy may be more on one day than another. That is your experience. Regardless, you have the fullness of My energy within you. You have never fully acknowledged this. Maybe a little once in a while, but not fully. I know this is so because, if you began to acknowledge the giant energy within you, you would soar. You would knowingly soar. You would reach up and pull the stars and the sun and the moon to you. You would not own them, yet you would possess them and their energy. You would be a powerhouse. You would ignite yourself and the world. You would indeed light up the world and everyone in it. You would be a light turned toward Heaven, and everyone would look up and follow your eyes and see that your good fortune is also theirs.
Circulate My light. Drink of it, and share My light the way a smoke may be passed around to and from everyone present. In My case, all are present. Someone perched on the peak of the mountain furthest from you is also present in your light. There is a community of souls who are engaging all the time. One does not move alone. Everyone moves together. There is tandem going on in the world. When your eyes light up, the world lights up. It is as simple as that. With or without your awareness, it is as simple as that.
It is wiser for everyone to be happy than morose. Gravitate toward happy people, and you will be happier. Yet even in a group of morose people, you can up the beat. Make it easy for yourself. Join the happy, and the morose will come to sit with you, and they will no longer be morose. Happiness moves over to make room for all. Come, sit with Me.
You have every right to be happy. You have been invited. You have never been excluded. So now include yourself in the ranks of the happy. March to My step, and you will be happy. You will be happy no matter what. You will rise above less than happy. You will discard less than happiness. What good is less? You don’t believe that you have to know unhappiness in order to be happy, do you?
What do you have to know in order to be happy? Nothing. You simply have to let down your guard. You have been guarding unhappiness as if it were the president of your life. You make sure to take care of your unhappiness. You give it every reason to exist. Let down the bars. Allow happiness to trickle in. Open the gates wide, and a ribbon of happiness will stream in, and then the ribbon will become a great river of happiness, and you will be caught up in happiness, and it will never let you go. Look, I am spreading happiness before you.

HEAVEN #3654 Stars Shine, November 26, 2010
God said:
Wherever you are, you are. You think it makes a big difference where you are, yet you are you wherever you are. Who you are matters. Where you are is not a big issue. I understand it is a big issue to you, yet where you are is incidental to the gift that you are from Me to the world. You can stand tall wherever you may be. Even if you are in a low cave, you can stand tall. Do you understand Me?
Your stature does not depend upon the physical. You can be above all the world. You are above all the world. Next to you, the extant world takes second place. But, of course, We are not concerned about first place or second place or last place. What meaning has the place you take in the world when you sit with Me?
Yes, be an inspiration in the world, and be an inspiration to the world. You are here on Earth to inspire the world. You are here to let the world know there is more than the eye can see. Can the eye see love when it burrows beneath the surface? Yes, you can show the world love from the deep corridors of your heart. You cannot empty your heart of love. You can spill love right and left, and your heart will be full. So fill up other hearts with your love. You can do it. You are doing it. Sometimes you are doing it. Do it more. Let that be your inspiration. You are someone with the capacity to uplift other hearts and your own at the same time. Where does your heart begin and another’s heart end? They are so close, so attuned, so heart in heart.
Consider your heart a star that sparkles. During the day, stars are not seen. Nevertheless, no one doubts the existence of stars. Do you not doubt the love in your heart? It is a fulsome heart you have. It is a heart overflowing. Your overflowing heart is meant for the world to see.
Stars do not stint on their light. They shine their starlight from many miles away. Surely, you can shine your heartlight across the room. Surely you can see the reflection of the heartlight you radiate. I see it. You can too. Everybody can see your heart light. Everyone can receive it. Everyone does receive your heart light. If there is darkness, everybody sees that too. They get swept up in your heart.
How can it be that you ever think that you are unimportant? You are of the utmost importance. It makes a world of difference how you think of yourself.
If you are a gift I have given to the world, and I say you are, then be the gift I give. Know Who you are, and the world will radiate Who you are. The world will pick you up in its arms, and hug you, and tell you how much it loves you. The world loves more or less depending upon the inflow and outflow of your own heart.
You are a major player in the world. I will go so far as to say that everything depends on you, your ambience, your deportment, your engagement in the sport of life, your engagement in the exchange of love. Keep giving out samples of love. Before you know it, you will taste it yourself. How good love is. How much more of your love the world wants to savor. Oh, come, reveal the breadth and depth of your heart now.

HEAVEN #3653 It Seems Like a Gamble, November 25, 2010
God said:
Lambs of God, why are you baa-ing, as if you have lost your way? You are right where you are supposed to be. A lamb can only baa, but you, beloved, you can sing. You can make speeches. You can make many sounds from your mouth. And you can sing with all your heart. You have an unlimited range.
You are not lost in a meadow. Yet, you too, like a lamb, find yourself somewhere, and you are not sure about your bearings. Maybe you just woke up and seek companionship. Maybe you are sleepwalking in your search for companionship along the way. You crave to be an individual at the same time as you crave to be part of something. Maybe you just like to make sounds.
Of course, you already are both an individual and part of something. You are part of something grand. You are part of a unique experience on Earth. You are a wayfarer. You are a wayfarer using a compass you cannot see and cannot always set, and, yet, even so, you are on the right course. A perfect star is leading you. You don’t have to see the star in order to be led by it. You are following it. It is leading you.
You have heard it before. You are exactly in the right place at the right time. The space you occupy is yours. Where you stand is where you are supposed to stand. Where you sit is where you are supposed to sit. What you are doing is exactly what you are supposed to be doing. The only thing is that you can get up and stand somewhere else or sit somewhere else or move to another country, and you are still exactly where you are supposed to be. Which comes first? It is more than a door that comes first. You do, and I do. We come first. And you have heard that I am everywhere.
You can have a choice of two doors to open. It seems like a gamble. Yet whichever door you choose to open, it’s the right one. It may be the right one for a short time or a long time. It doesn’t matter. It’s the right one. Even if it’s the wrong one, it’s the right one. Pardon yourself.
If I am everywhere, how can you be somewhere where I am not? And if We are One together, what can the matter be? Oh, yes, in the world, plenty can be the matter, and, yet, from another view, all is light, and you are lighted up. Whatever circumstances may surround you, you are light, and you are the light of My heart. There is only one place you can be that makes a difference, and that is in My heart, and, in My heart, there is no difference. There is only light. There is only love between Us, and yet it is not between. There is only Us. We are the Truth of life, this mission you are on with Me, no matter how wayward you may seem to yourself.
And, so, the only right place for you to be in is in My heart, and that’s where you are, and that’s where you be. There is nowhere else for you to be. Of course, you are in the right place.
And, yet, there is no place. You stand nowhere. You sit nowhere. You move nowhere. You are nowhere but in My heart. The lamb of God is in My heart. There is room for all. There is room for you, and yet no space whatsoever is needed. Love occupies no space. There is no space for it to occupy. If space did exist, love would still take no space at all.

HEAVEN #3650 Love the World, November 22, 2010
God said:
Look, you are the mainstay of the world. The world is not the breeze that activates your life. You are the breeze that activates the world. Without you, the world wouldn’t be. You would have no perception of it. The world would be at a loss.
You are meant to be here now in a changing world. You are changing the world which is a reflection of you. Not by force, not by dint of effort, but by your being, you are changing the world. By your consciousness, the world is moved. You are the one who moves the world up a notch, and you have moved it up notch by notch.
Love the world and your presence in it. It is your scenery. It is your background. Yet you are more than the world. The world is wonderful, and yet you are more wonderful than the world.
If the world were an elevator, it is your hand that pressed Up.
The sun rises every day at your say-so. You had a desire that the sun rise so that you could see and plants could grow, and you had a desire for the sun to set so you could rest your eyes, and the flowers and other growing things could rest as well. You are one of the sun’s growing things.
You are an inhabitant of the world, and yet you are the owner of it. You are the landlord of the world, and so you make it beautiful, a little here and a little there. You are the designer and decorator of the world. You are responsible for how it operates and looks.
The world is a macrocosm of your life. You life is a microcosm of the world.
You were born into a world of your making, and you are making it still. You are remaking it. With love you remake it. The only real power you have is love. By dint of your love, you redefine the world. You make it new.
All this time, you have thought you were insignificant. No, My dear ones, you are integral to the fate of the world.
Will I override you? Yes, sometimes I do, and yet you are responsible for the world and all its behaviors.
Of course, the world is also responsible for you. The world you live in determined you as well. The world you live in gave you a language. It gave you a climate. It cultured you. It gave you scenery. The world as you knew it had a great influence on you. And yet you are an influence greater. You don’t have to do as your world says. The world, however, has no choice but to follow the wherewithal of your consciousness. The world has to attune itself to the beat of your heart, and attuned itself it has.
How do you feel? That is how the world feels. You are reciprocal with the world. Uplifted, you uplift the world. Downhearted, you depress the world. That the world is as you are has oft been said, and now you really know what that means.
The world is here for you, no doubt, and you are also here for the world, and you are the leader of the band.
The world can only follow your cues. Find all the fault with the world you choose, and the world will fulfill the faults you find. Find all the love in the world, and the world will mimic you, and will find all the love in the world.
Be you the one who loves first. Love what you love, and let the rest go. You don’t need to be so astute. Love the world.
