HEAVEN #3433 On the Wings of Truth, April 19, 2010
God said:
The physical world is fragile. All the physical is fragile. The physical is strong and yet it is fragile. The strength is there, and the vulnerableness is also there. Despite seat belts, smoke alarms, traffic lights, good common sense, what is there to protect your physical body, beloveds? Love the physical world, and love the body that houses you, and yet not be attached. That which is sentient does not last forever. After all, you are not your body. And those you love are also not their bodies.
You are, of course, far more than your body. Fortunately, you are soul, you are love. The material of you is here today and gone tomorrow whereas the non-material of you lasts forever. You are, have been, will be, eternal, just as I am eternal. There is no parting, beloveds. Oneness stays Oneness. Wholeness is not separateness. Wholeness is. Separateness is not.
It could be said that all of Creation is a magic trick. Creation may be a miracle, yet it is not a trick. You already know what is and what is not. And yet you mourn for the physical when it disappears from Earth. Even though you know that physical bodies do not linger, you are astonished when bodies are left behind. Your physical body cannot go with you forever. Would you really want it to?
It seems to Me that I hear complaints about physical bodies. They require a certain amount of attention. They can get tired. Your soul does not. Your body can sleep too much or not at all, and neither condition pleases you. Your body has aches and pains. Bones break. The body ages. You already know that you yourself in truth do not age. There is a vitality in you that goes beyond the Earthly life force.
You do not have to yank hold of your body as though it were a precious thing. It is only precious so long as you are inside it. Of itself, you know it’s not much at all.
Care for it. Love it. Use it. Be not attached. When it is time for the essence of you to leave your body, leave it. The body is not priceless. Life on Earth is priceless, yes. You are priceless. Your body is a convenience or an inconvenience depending on the day. Your body is a thing, beloveds, and things wear out. You cannot keep them forever. What is it that makes you so sure that your body is to stay on Earth for the longest time possible?
What are the constituents of your body that make you cling to it?
Do you not know that the death of the body is a new birth to you? It is a milestone. Beloveds, celebrate life, and celebrate death which can only be a part of life on Earth. Death is an unveiling. All that seemingly kept you separate from everyone else is dropping away and then you, without encumbrance, fly away. You have always wanted to fly. This is your chance.
Death of the body is not an ogre that you have to fight. Soon or late, you will embrace death of the body. When you have traversed this juncture, you won’t mind a bit. You will be exhilarated. Would you really moan about that which is a high point in life? Birth is a high point, and death is too.
You will find that you do not leave loved ones behind. You are united. There are no long-lost friends in death. Of course not, for in the land of eternal life, there is no time in which anything can be lost. From your present vantage, illusion will fade away. Truth will remain, and you will fly on the wings of Truth. You will fly on the wings of Truth.

HEAVEN #3431 You Are Your Own Child, April 17, 2010
God said:
You are your own child. Nurture yourself. Raise yourself generously. Whatever kindness you have been denied in life, give it to yourself now. Whatever good you can give to yourself, give it. And what goodness is there that you cannot give and give to yourself?
Now you raise yourself. Now you no longer put yourself down. As a favor to Me, I ask you to think well of yourself, to encourage and uplift yourself. This is how you raise all the hearts in the world.
Be a benefactor to yourself. Bless yourself. Bless yourself by word and by deed. This is not selfish. This is unselfish. It is unselfish to get out of past habits of thinking. Letting go is unselfish. It is holding on that is selfish. Let go of the reins that you have used to hold yourself back.
You would think that ego encourages you, yet it is ego that would keep you down. Ego is a rogue warrior, a sniper, a knife in the back. It is your unworthy ego that tells you that you are unworthy. It is your ego that whispers to you in the night that you are not really worth much. And it is ego that torments you with the unbelief others may have held you in.
I am talking about your ego. The ego that torments you is your own. It is your ego. You developed it. You gave it a soapbox to stand on, and you stood in front of your debilitating ego and listened to its wanton talk. Beloveds, ego doesn’t know what it is talking about. Listen to that heckler no longer.
True, sometimes ego builds you up. When it does, it is only the better to knock you down. Ego is the big bad wolf who has teeth the better to eat you with.
Substitute your own good-heartedness for your wolfish ego that pulls the wool over your eyes. Your ego blocks you from seeing the good that you are and the good that you do.
Your presence in the world is not an accident. You are not here to cause trouble to anyone. You are not here to cause trouble to yourself. You are not here to pull yourself down. You are here to pull yourself up. Consider that there is a window shade that covers you. You have to pull up that window shade. You have to pull it up in order to reveal yourself to yourself.
I am telling you to think well of yourself. I am telling you to pull yourself up. I am not telling you to become high and mighty. I am telling you to be who you are, and who you are is a magnificent being. Will you believe Me this time and never forget it?
I singled you out. I made you. I set you in motion. I selected you to fulfill My dreams. You are My worthy son or daughter. You are Mine, and that means I give you to yourself. I did not hand you out to a stranger. I gave you to you. Will you please, once and for all, honor Me and My choice of you?
Will you handle yourself with care? Surely you are worth as much as a UPS package?
Beloveds, I do not mark you Fragile. You are not fragile. You are strong. You are unbreakable. You are My child forever. You are an acorn that falls not far from the Tree.
You were on loan to your parents, yet you were always Mine. And now I bequeath you to yourself. I ask you to love and take good care of yourself, for I sent you to Earth as My beloved.

HEAVEN #3430 Moving Along in Life, April 16, 2010
God said:
It is necessary that you take responsibility for yourself. This will save you time.
It is too easy to hold something outside of yourself as responsible for you, even for your moods. I ask you to take self-responsibility. Self-responsibility leads to self-reliance. Is not self-reliance a good thing?
Science will even support you in placing responsibility outside yourself. In the winter, when sun is in short supply, it has been proven that low rays of the sun are a contributing factor to your feeling depressed. Science seems to have proven that winter is responsible for your mood.
It has been proven that certain mental illnesses are chemical imbalances.
I do not try to disprove scientific evidence. The physical evidence is there. Nor do I try to take away the difficulties that many have to face. I affix not blame. I affix not cause. I do suggest that change is possible, and changing your thinking is possible.
You can change your physiology with your thoughts. Has this also not been proven in the world?
I am saying that you have greater power than studies may reveal. The power of your mind is great. Your mind can do anything. It has been seen that your mind can play tricks on you. Has it not?
Let Me clarify here that no one is to put responsibility on another. I am talking about self-responsibility, not someone else’s putting responsibility on you., or your putting responsibility on someone else.
You are innocent. I do not say otherwise. Yet it is also already known that My children do not use all the mind that is available to them. Maybe they don’t believe that they have a mind that can, if not move mountains, at least work miracles. Maybe you do not believe.
Bear in mind that I have said there is no cause and effect, and yet prevention and remedy exist. If there is a prevention, if there is a remedy, beloveds, to all the ills of the world, both prevention and remedy lie in your thinking. I do not say that you force your thinking. As when you drive a car, and you notice that you are veering off your lane, you gently turn the steering wheel back to the lane you belong on. Do this with your thinking. When you are thinking depressing thoughts, ease the steering wheel of your mind gently over to the right lane. Will you do this?
You do not have to keep depressing thoughts. You can let them go. I ask you to.
I am considered the First Cause, and, yet, beloveds, I do not cause your moods and so on. The question is not really so simple as pinpointing the cause and tossing away your own responsibility. When you have responsibility, you have the freedom to change that which is not helpful to you.
I suppose We could say that a certain vibration is a cause. Yet someone with the same vibration may be in a happy mood. You, too, have been in a good mood even when the night lasts longer than the sun.
Ultimately, your vibration is up to you. You cannot turn your vibration up or down at the flip of a switch, yet your thoughts can change, perhaps even in the blink of an eye.
If your thoughts left on their own are fearsome, then come read a Heavenletter or a fairytale, or look at books of flowers, or look up at the stars. You will see that your mood is elevated. Would you like to let go of a bad mood, or would you rather hold onto it and feel beleaguered?
Lift up your thoughts, beloveds.

HEAVEN #3429 Greener Pastures, April 15, 2010
God said:
There are many themes I give to you often. I say you are perfect to Me as you are. I say you have to let go of the past. I say you have to think new thoughts. I say to you that you have to move on in your life, and I say to you that all is well. What are you to make of My advice that may seem contradictory and equivocal to you. How can I call you perfect as you are and also tell you to move on and to change? How can I tell to let loose of the past and start thinking and living in new ways? And then how can I tell you that all is well when life sure doesn’t appear that way to you.
All is true, beloveds.
You are perfect today. I do love you as you are. I also do ask you to grow. Would you really want to recline in the same bed you made today and not move on to greener pastures tomorrow? There is not a discrepancy between what you want and I want.
You are irrefutably My beloved child. Whatever you do or don’t do, I love you. I see My light in you. I see Myself in you. There is nothing I can do about My love for you. I do not withhold it from you nor do I withhold from Myself the joy of loving you.
At the same time, I do not ask you to stay as you are. I say today is a new day. A new sun is dawning. And you are to dawn as well.
I suggest that you intend to grow closer to Me. And then leave it to Me. I suggest that you desire and then let go of the desire.
I do not ask you to whip your life into place, I ask you to leave your life to Me, and yet I ask for a little effort from you, very little, almost no effort at all. I do not tell you to rest on your laurels. There are times when I ask you to make conscious deliberate change. At the same time, I do not ask you to run a race.
When you catch yourself reacting in old ways, getting angry perhaps, feeling put upon perhaps, or feeling vain or demeaned, I ask you to reconsider. I ask you to remind yourself: “I act in new ways now.” Perhaps you will ask yourself: “How would God like me to handle this?” And maybe you know, or maybe you don’t know. And if you do know, maybe you act on it, or maybe you don’t. In any case, I do not ask you to beat yourself up about it nor do I ask you to start crowing about your steps forward. I ask you to take yourself in your stride. I ask you to take life in your stride.
Your life is in My hands, and, nevertheless, your life is your responsibility. I call you to action, and I call you to relax. I call you to be content, and I call you to come out of your comfort zone. I call you to action, but I do not call you to revolution.
I call you to take it easy, and I call you to not take it too easy. I tell you that there is nothing for you to do, and I tell you there is something for you to do.
I do not tell you to focus on improving yourself. At the same time I ask you not to be altogether laissez-faire when it comes to you. I ask you to rely on Me, and to also rely on yourself. This is a good combination. Invite this combination to you.

God said:
Sometimes you make decisions by default. You can’t seem to make a decision, so you make none. It could well be that by default, you made the right decision. I say right in terms of how you perceive. You might not have changed a situation but stayed in it. Years later, you may be wondering how different your life might be now had you had made a leap you did not.
Understand, beloveds, had you taken the leap, years later, you could also be wondering how different your life might be now had you stayed where you were and not made the change you did.
These are not loose ends, beloveds. You moved, or you didn’t move. Or, you moved in one direction and not another. What your life might have been had you taken a different turn in the road is for poets and fiction writers to imagine whereas, for you, in your own life, you gathered the roses as you did, and there is no return to yesteryear. There are different roses to gather now.
If you regret, stop regretting. Right at this moment what is done is done. And yet there are other choices before you now. Every day you are making choices. Every day you choose your life. You choose your life with your perceptions, beloveds, and your perceptions create your thoughts, and your thoughts create your perceptions. If you don’t like the tune you are singing, you can always sing a different tune.
Consider that you have background music running all the time. What kind of music have you put on? Marching band? Dirge? Waltzes? Happy tunes? You have a choice as to what record you put in the victrola of your mind. What background music do you play? Do you choose, “Woe is me,” or do you choose, “Happy days are here again.” What do you choose to play over and over?
It matters the records you play.
I would like to suggest that you throw out the old records. I would like to suggest that you don’t keep a collection nor start another collection. I would like to suggest that you find a new and better record every day, and put it on. Turn the volume up.
What are you listening to, beloveds?
There is a lot of beautiful music out there. You have a lot of choices. And all you have to do at any moment is to choose one song. That’s all. Just one.
Every day, life holds out a bouquet to you and asks you to choose one flower at a time. You find out more about yourself by the flowers you pick. Surely you wouldn’t pick withered flowers, and yet the old flowers of thoughts that have outlived their usefulness somehow get picked, and sometimes over and over again.
I would like to move you to choose the fresh young bloom before you. Why not? It costs the same. Actually, it costs less. Actually, it costs nothing at all.
All you have to do is to put your hand out and pick one fresh flower at a time. And tomorrow you are offered a bouquet again from which to choose. You can pick flowers you have never picked before, perhaps never seen before. You know what, pick the loveliest flower of all. Just reach your hand out, and take it.
Choose a flower of a beautiful color, a color you like to look at. Choose a sweet scent that you like to breathe in. Choose what, in your moment of choice, is the loveliest flower of all. And if all the flowers are supreme, pick them all and pin them to your lapel.

HEAVEN #3427 Through This Forest of Life, April 13, 2010
God said:
You like to be clear on matters. You don't like to be unclear. Even when your clarity reveals what you don't want, something is settled. When you don't know, you feel unsettled. Better a clean slate, even when the outcome may have not been what you wanted. It is good to know where you stand than not to know what is going on. People flip coins, pull petals on a daisy in their desire to make a decision and move ahead. .
When a decision is pending, too much energy goes into holding up the two corners. When a decision is clear, you can use that energy to get somewhere.
Even little decisions that are pending use up your energy. Even emails you put aside to respond to later hold up your energy. Bills you put down to take care of later consume dribbles of energy.
Of course, ready or not, there are those decisions that life makes for you, At least, you know you are being guided. You are being told to go here, not there, even when you don't know why. You can know that you are on a course, and you are getting somewhere, even when you're unsure, even when you have to turn around.
In life, it is like you are on a hunt. You come to brambly paths that make you turn around. There was no decision to make.
You may come to two beautiful flowered paths, and now the choice isn't as easy. In your hunt, you can stay trying to make a decision forever. At some point, you have to cut yourself loose from one path and take the other. Think of it this way, beloveds, when both paths are good, take one.
Even when you choose a flowered path that does not live up to its promise, what is the loss, beloveds, and what is the gain? Now you may know that real flowers weren't growing on the path you took, and, yet, still, you are further along.
Consider the paths you take, but consider not too long. When you take a long time, you are choosing a third path called hesitation. Hesitation isn't meant to be a path you go on. Hesitation is more like a bench at a bus stop where you sit for a while, and then get up and take the bus.
As when you are visiting in a big city and are not sure whether to go east or west, you choose a direction and find out. You went one way when you could have gone the other. So what, if now you have to turn around and go the other way.
Sometimes you can ask someone for directions. Sometimes they give you good directions, and sometimes they don't. They may not know the road that is right for you to take. You may not know, yet the decision is yours to make, not anyone else's.
Now here is where the question comes: What if you take the incorrect path, and, now, so many years later, you have gone too far astray from the path that you are sure would have been better, what do you do now?. No matter how sure you are about this, it is nevertheless a supposition. There are too many unknowns, beloveds. What you can know is that on the path you took, you learned, you gained. Through this forest of life, you may have, after all, traveled the right path.

HEAVEN #3426 Graciousness, April 12, 2010
God said:
When a friend has been inadequate in some way and has let you down, when your friend has been thinking and feeling small and revealed their tightness to you, then you start to feel the same miserliness in your heart. Is that not so? You mimic the friend, and blame your friend's inadequacy for your own feelings of smallness.
Miserliness is stinginess. You start to feel miserly in your heart. Smallness is stinginess. It is holding back. And now the tendency is for you to start feeling the unhappy pinched way your friend felt. There is something in My children that seems to want to perpetuate smallness. It is not revenge, yet it is a feeling of responding in kind. "My friend was unfeeling to me. Now what can I be but unfeeling to him or her?"
And so you mirror your friend.
When your friend is warm and gracious, that is a time to mirror your friend.
When your friend is cold and ungracious, then that is a time for you to become a mirror of graciousness for your friend to look into.
Be a picture of what your friend was not. Be what you would have wanted your friend to be. Do you see how essential it is that you respond differently?
Your friend was coming from a place of lack. You don't need to follow your friend to that place. You need to give your friend something else to copy. This is not about your friend any longer. It is about you.
This will benefit your friend certainly. Most of all, it will benefit you. And, beyond a doubt, it will benefit the Universe.
Do not act in kind.
You are to serve Me and respond on My behalf. For whatever perceived reason or no reason your friend exhibited lack of courtesy, you are the one to break the cycle before it starts. Ultimately, what is smallness but lack of courtesy?
Your friend perhaps did not show respect for you. Your friend was not respecting himself, or he would not have been disrespectful to you. He did not think before speaking or acting. And now you must be the one to think before speaking or acting. He was thinking of some perceived need of his. He wasn't thinking of you. Yet, now, it is for you to think of him.
Remind yourself that somewhere, buried within the person who hurt your feelings, I exist. And, of course, you exist.
Your friend made a mistake. If your friend had been clear-thinking, he would not have acted unkindly. Obviously, your friend was not thinking clearly.
I am not asking you to forgive your friend for an offense. I am asking you to rise above offense in the first place. Can you forgive your friend for being a human being who sometimes acts in error?
Beloved, you are acting in My place. How do I respond to you when you are not thinking straight and make an error? I do not act in kind. I do not shun you.
If your friend were not thinking straight, all the more reason for you to think straight.
Other people are not to overly influence you on how you feel about yourself. Feel about yourself in all circumstances as I feel about you.
I am not saying that you cannot move on to other friends. I do tell you to be with people who feel good enough about themselves that it is happiness for you to be in their presence.
If you must leave your friend, I am saying that you leave as a friend, that's all.

HEAVEN #3425 In This Moment of Being, April 11, 2010
God said:
What would happen if the past tense were removed from language! And the future tense as well? What if you have only present tense to work with. Then you are conscious of the present. Then you say: "I am knowing God's Presence right now."
You might say: "I am growing closer to God with every breath. God is loving me right now. God is mine right now. I am alive right now. I am living life. I am living life the best I know how. I am getting better at life at this very moment. I am walking to God. Now I am running. Now I am with God. God and I are One. Right now We are. I am walking with God. I am moving ahead with God. God and I love each other. I am grateful to God. I am marvelous as I greet God and serve in the world on God's behalf. I am God's child. I am God's child right now. I am loving God as He is loving me. God and I are all for One, and One for all. Blessed are We."
The past is not needed, and yet the past tense of language is rampant.
Experiment today. See what happens to your focus as you use the present tense only. I have a feeling that happiness will bubble up more. Acknowledge your happiness, beloveds.
Say: "Right this moment I am happy. I am as happy as can be. When I look ahead or when I look back, my happiness feels put aside. Past happiness is only past. Future happiness is not right now. Real happiness is right now. And so I focus on what is right now. My life is bigger right now than in the past or the future. Right now I leave the past behind me, and I leave the future to itself. I am serving God right now. The past and the future do not need any service from me."
While We take out the past and future tenses, we also remove conditional tenses. No longer can it be said: "If I were a rich man.if I were nineteen again." No longer can it be said: "If I were prettier. If I were smarter. If I were loved."
Now I hear you say: "I am wealthy. I have everything, and more is arriving all the time. I am young. I am new every day. I am beautiful. I am smart. I am loved. I am loved, and I love. I am loved, and I love, and I am love. All of God's Creation is love. Therefore, all is love. I belong to this love. I am love right now. Right now, I am. I am, I am, I am. God IS. I AM. You ARE. We ARE. The One of Us IS."
And now your heart does somersaults of joy. Now the sun comes out early because you are right with the sun. You are the sun. No longer do you wait for the sun. The sun is now. You are now. All is now.
Say to yourself: "Now that I live in this moment of being, my energy is strong. My zest for life is stronger. No longer do I have regret, and no longer have I fear. Regret and fear and such things cannot and do not exist in this moment of Eternity that I call now. Now I am free of regret, and I am free of fear. Regret is retrospect. Fear is of the future. Where can fear or regret exist in this moment that I live with God? I live now. Not a while ago and not later. I am alive now. I AM right now."

HEAVEN #3424 A Perfect Balance, April 10, 2010
God said:
In everything, there is a balance. When there is imbalance, you right yourself. In life in the world, you yearn for balance.
How perfect is the moment when you are at that pivot of balance. Then you are a ballet dancer in life, and movement is swift, and movement lifts you and your spirits as well. You are at that point when all is right with the world.
You want to be an acrobat in life with that perfect balance on the high wire and on the ground.
How you yearn to move like a breeze. How you long to be light as air. Beloveds, balance gives you that.
It is yourself you want to balance, of course. You want to be just right in life, not to go too far this way or that way, but to be just right. Nor does balance in life mean that you stay in the middle. It doesn't mean you aim to be in the middle of the road. You can also be balanced and leap! You can be a high jumper.
Your point of balance doesn't depend on the heights or the low. It depends on something within you.
What you want is equanimity. Equanimity is a lot like peace. Equanimity is taking life in your stride. It is not minding so much what befalls. It is walking along even when the weather of life may be inclement.
Balance does not mean staying on the ground nor does balance mean flights of fancy, nor does balance mean taking that middle road, nor does it necessarily mean taking the line of least resistance or falling where you may. Balance does mean that you don't protest too much.
I want to tell you that you cannot aim too high. I want to tell you to aim high. I also want to tell you that the beauty is in the aiming. What you aim for does not have to be achieved. You don't have to have it. In order to live, you don't have to have the aiming either, yet what is life on Earth without the aiming for the heights? Without the aiming, you plod.
Beloved, you are not an ox who is to plod. You are a human being who is to soar. You are to fly with the angels. Did you not know that?
Did you think you were to merely pull a plow on Earth?
Here's the wonderful thing about life on Earth. You can pull the plow, and you can be soaring at the same time. This is the meaning of being human and Divine. The human and Divine can be in tandem, and you can be aware of this beautiful balance, not that you can measure this balance.
If you consider life a tightrope you walk, and you are the ballerina dancing on the rope, as soon as you would start to measure your balance, you may well lose it.
You cannot put your humanness and your Divinity on a scale. It is not that you are to be half each. Not at all. You can be 100% each. You can enjoy your humanness fully, and you can enjoy your Divinity fully. The balancing act is not really a race or a counting match between the two.
You and I are One. And while you are on Earth, the human and the Divine can also be One. Let your humanness serve the Divine. The Divine is always serving you.

HEAVEN #3422 The Server and the Served, April 8, 2010
God said:
When did serving get a poor reputation? When did it become touted that it is better to be the one served rather than the one who serves?
Is the one who dines at a fine restaurant more honored than the waiter who serves the food? The world would say so. I do not. Serving and being served are the two ends of one seesaw. Both are primary. Each serves the other.
It is a fine thing to be a diner who makes it possible for another to serve. And it's a fine thing to be a waiter who serves food to the diner. This is a noble interchange.
It is a fine thing to be someone who cleans, someone who sews, someone who rakes the leaves, shovels the snow. Start thinking of the honor it is to serve. It is not a cursory thing to serve, nor is it cursory to be served. You have every right to serve and to be served.
You know by now that the one who serves another is ultimately serving himself, yes, and also serving Me. You are My hands. Through you, I give.
And through the person served, I am served. Inasmuch as I am the One ultimately served, then you are served as well. Server or served, you stand in for Me.
Serving and being served are of one motion. How intertwined are Heaven and Earth, you and I, I and you, whomever I am speaking to.
He who is served also serves. Who is a greater Server than I?
And, on Earth, does not the king serve the most? When service is given and received with a good heart, service is equal.
The kindergarten child who paints from his heart is not less an artist than a famous artist. They are equal givers. From my vantage, which is much like the vantage of the mother to her child, the child's painting is just as dear as one the world calls valuable.
The teacher serves the student. The student serves the teacher.
The pen that writes serves the paper it writes on. The ink serves the pen and the paper and the writer serve the reader. The writer serves the reader, and the reader serves the writer.
In the world of love, what is separate, My beloveds? In the world of love, all is One, one single motion of Oneness, the way a saw saws a board.
Your hand serves you, and you serve your hand, and your hand serves Me as I serve you.
In the world, no one owns anything, and everyone owns all.
No one partitions the sky and says: "This is mine. It's not yours."
No one says, "The air is mine and not yours." .
No one says, "You can step on this square of sidewalk, and not on that one."
No one says, "If you pass by my lilac bush, you are not allowed to breathe in its sweetness."
No one quibbles with the idea that the sky and air and sidewalks belong to all. No one is selfish about these matters. If they wanted to own the sky and air and sidewalks, there isn't a way for them to own them. Sky and air and sidewalks are not ownable. May it always be so.
And yet food is divided. Space is divided. Other people's love is even separated and owned. "You can love me but not that one."
There is no beginning to the service of love, and there is no ending to the service of love. Love cannot be clutched in the hand. Love is still free and not to be held onto. Love is given in service to the Universe.

HEAVEN #3421 Energy and Greatness, April 7, 2010
God said:
You have a vitality that you don't know you have. You have energy beyond your awareness. You have unlimited energy.
Even when you feel your feet dragging and you can't stay awake, you have endless energy. It is all there. You have a huge reservoir of energy. There is no end to the energy you have. At rest or at play, your energy is intact.
Energy is a form of light, and you are a light being. A light being cannot be without light. Light does not really sleep.
When you feel energy-less, that is an idea of the mind. You have told yourself that you are without energy. You really know that you are filled with energy, for, at any moment, energy can be restored to your awareness. You could be the most tired person in the world, and, yet, what happens when you hear you have won the big lottery? Your energy revives! You have the energy to launch a rocket.
Do not interpret what I say to mean that your body is not to rest. Of course, your body is to rest. But you are to know that, at rest or swimming the English Channel, your body is filled with energy. That is what I want you to be sure to know.
Say to yourself right now: "Energy is always available to me. I am connected to an infinite source of energy. The yellow sun in the sky gives me its energy. God gives me His energy. I am energy itself."
Pause to refuel, yet know that you are an infinite source of energy.
Your intelligence is energy. You are not wanting for intelligence. Even when you do a dumb thing, your intelligence hasn't gone anywhere. Beloveds, even if you flunked school, your innate intelligence keeps your molecules intact and spinning. You can call the energy within you life, if you like. And that light of life does not even diminish when your erstwhile body drops away. You, without cease, are still energy. You, without cease, are still light.
Right now you have access to all the light imaginable and unimaginable, and right now, light being that you are, you are also the access to all the light imaginable and unimaginable. You are the Olympic Torch that is carried through the One World. You are that candle that lights another.
Here you are, all this brightness, and so often you may think of yourself and others as not much at all. You think you are limping through life when you are a high flyer. Will you please no longer downplay yourself? You are a Great Being in a Great Universe. Perhaps you have been reading too much fine print, or you have been writing disclaimers and printing them on your heart.
Now, I ask you to write exclaimers! Write in your heart now:
"I am a Great Being. I am great enough to do great things. From this day forward, I believe in myself. From this day forward, I acknowledge to myself that what God creates has to be great. How could I ever think it could be otherwise? What was I thinking? What could a child of God be worth but greatness? No longer will I belittle myself. No longer will I belittle anyone. I, who am a Great Being of God, uplift others to their greatness as well. I am a Messenger of God, so, from now on, I no longer deliver small messages to myself or anyone.
"From now on I acknowledge myself as a tribute to God. God created me to be a tribute to Him and His art. Now I accept that what God says is what I am."

HEAVEN #3419 You Are Entering a Garden, April 5, 2010
God said:
Take your bow. Accept applause for a job well-done. You have made it this far. Of course, you deserve thumbs-up.
Look how far you have traveled. The path wasn't always smooth. Sometimes it seemed downright thorny, and yet you made it all this way. You are a wonder. Whatever weights you have pulled, you have pulled them. Time to unburden yourself now, for you are moving fast and can relinquish the past. You are rising high. You are a high-flying kite. I am tickled pink with your progress.
Will you be happy with yourself too? Will you give yourself recognition? Will you acknowledge the wonder that you are? You have made it. You have made it through. The best is yet to come. Come get it.
Whatever hurdles you have passed, you have passed them. They are no longer yours. You have stepped over them. There is no need for you to kick them away. They are already away.
Now you are entering a garden. We can call it the Garden of Eden. Why not? We can call it whatever We like. We can make it whatever We like. We can plant new flowers. No longer do We pick the old. They have been picked. They are not here. You are here. You have new seeds to plant, new ground to hoe. You are making your mark in this garden right now.
You can do handsprings here. You can clap your hands. You can clomp your feet if you like. You can do anything you like. Well, you can do anything you like except to hang on to the past. I think you left it at the door. It would have been difficult for you to enter this garden hobbled by the past. And why would you have wanted to?
What trouble was so precious that you would want it to tag along after you? You aren't required to carry in the beauty of the past either, for there is plenty more beautifulness where that came from. There is a whole garden of beauty here, and only the beautiful can enter. You are beautiful, and that's why you are here. Do you see the lush beauty of this place? That beauty is in the eye of the beholder is true enough.
Yet you are not beautiful only in My eyes, for I made you beautiful for all eyes. You are the most difficult customer of all, however, because you seem to be determined not to see your own beauty. You seem determined to see your own beauty least of all. You have thought that beauty was something far from you, perhaps in the future, but not here now and not in the past. If that is the case, you have not looked clearly. You have always been beautiful, and you have never been less beautiful than you are right now.
Let Us make a pact today that you will report the wonderfulness of yourself to yourself. You will bring yourself up to date. Come, follow Me, and see what I see.
I see a soul, and I see a human being filled with courage. You are indomitable, beloved. You are the cream of the crop. Forget what you used to think even a moment ago. Forget your report cards. Forget what anyone ever said or thought. Remember Me, and remember what I say. Unless you know how beautiful you are, and how beautiful you are to Me, you don't know anything. And anyone who doesn't know your splendor, doesn't know anything about you or about anything either.
There is a lot of misinformation out in the world. Please, come into My garden where only beauty and truth exist.

HEAVEN #3418 Look Again, April 4, 2010
God said:
There is not a day that goes by that you are not in My heart and thoughts. There is not a day that goes by that I do not bless you. I do not pray, but if I did, We could say that you are in My prayers. There is no way that I ever take a step away from you. Everyone keeps treasures close. I keep you close. I never let you out of My sight.
Then how is it that you sometimes have felt that I am far away and that you perhaps have been abandoned? How is it that some of My children feel worse than abandoned, perhaps feel put upon or singled out for hard times? At the same time, what you see as evidence of neglect, someone else would welcome. Someone else with your troubles might think he was fortunate. Would you trade?
If you feel down in your luck, if you feel I overlook or discount you, look again, beloveds. That is your thinking, your perception, not Mine. And that is your downfall. You neglect or persecute yourself. You emphasize an outcome that you don't want. Sometimes it seems that you covet being neglected, that you would rather blame Me than look up. You would rather blame Me than be happy. You would rather find lack in Me than acknowledge Our love for each other.
What is there about Our love that you would relinquish it? Is it too much for you? Do you want My love so much that you would deny it? Why would you overlook My love for you? Why would you possibly prefer to feel unloved than loved? And have you not been mistaken before? Can you admit the possibility that you are mistaken now?
And what are We going to do about the situation? What are We going to do about you?
I suggest you favor yourself a little bit more. Instead of being irate or dismayed or put out by what you perceive as love withheld from you, will you start from the premise that you are loved? Will you look for clues of how loved you are? Will you accept My love at least as a possibility?
Beloveds, do you see My love for others? On what do you base this? Why then do you weep, and why do you feel out of favor?
It is fine to want what others have, yet there is a difference between wanting and feeling unloved. You crave more evidence of love. You want to be loved, and you want to know that you are loved.
Then come over here to Me and get your love. Lift up your eyes. Let Me look into your eyes and fill them with My love.
You may have discounted yourself or picked on yourself or have gone out of your way to feel bad. It would seem that you would rather prove you are unloved than to see that you are loved. Perhaps you have even deigned to feel the most overlooked and unloved of all, as if that gives you a distinction. Have you been desiring displeasure and disagreement? Have you been desiring to be denied?
Today, start desiring love and start giving it. Get out of your errant mood. You have been petulant. You have achieved discontent. Now allow yourself joy, and be such a grand giver of love that you know how much love you have received.

HEAVEN #3417 Silver like the Moon, Golden like the Sun, April 3, 2010
God said:
You can't dodge the relative world, and you can't dodge the spiritual. You can cover your eyes, yet you nevertheless live in both worlds. While you are on Earth, you can't have one without the other.
The relative world is physical. That means you trudge, you fly, you walk through snow, and you wade through water. You go frontwards. You go backwards. You get up, and you get down, or you can't get up, or you can't get down.
The spiritual world is, well, spiritual. You cannot touch it. You cannot keep it in a locket around your neck. You can't pore through a magazine of spirituality itself because even magazines are physical and use words. The spiritual is beyond words. It is beyond description. And yet it is known. It can't be Xeroxed or filed, and yet it is known. It cannot be accumulated, and yet there is always more.
Pictures cannot be taken of the spiritual. Spiritual paintings are renditions. Paintings are physical portrayals that evoke something of the spiritual. The day sky and night sky and all the splendors of the world also evoke the spiritual.
The relative world is mundane. It may be exciting and fascinating, and yet it is mundane. The world is the world. And, yet, there are aspects of the mundane world that are spiritual. You, for instance.
You are as mundane as you can get, and yet you are as spiritual as all the angels put together. Only you do not see this angel aspect of yourself. You do not believe in it. Even if someone were to point this out to you twelve times a day, you still hold the idea of your spirituality at arm's lengths. The physical seems to dominate. It is too obvious and too demanding. Even all your fears are based on the physical aspects of life. Even so, the physical aspects of you are worthy. Like a cake, you are made of many ingredients. And yet, how divine a piece of cake is. How divine you are.
You can't escape the physical, beloveds, so long as you are in a body. You can escape the spiritual never.
You and I are spirit. You have appeared as physical, and yet with or without the physical embodiment, you are spiritual. You exist. You and I exist. The spiritual is the basis of you. The spiritual is your foundation. Spiritual is your Being.
For a while, your spiritual endowment is clothed in a physical body. Your body is no more than a snowsuit you put on in winter. It is no more than a tee shirt in summer. Your body is a convenience or inconvenience, and its value changes. Your perception of its value changes.
It is not surprising that you think your existence is your body. No matter how little you may value your physical body, you are attached to it. Despite yourself, you love it. You hold your hands to your face. You lick your lips. You love to eat. You love to move and to sit down and get up. Your body is quite a conveyance. It has its endearing aspects.
And, yet, your physical body without your spirit is no more than a pile of old clothes. This is not your body's fault. It is no one's fault. It is a blessing that your physical body is impermanent. It serves its purpose. It is useful for a while. It is even beautiful for a while.
The spiritual aspect of you is silver and gold. It is silver that doesn't need polishing. It is like the moon. It is golden like the sun. It is like Aladdin's lamp.

HEAVEN #3415 How the World Goes Round, April 1, 2010
God said:
Buy yourself flowers now and then. Eat a dessert you like. Treat yourself like a date. Reward yourself for work well-done. Reward yourself just for being. You don't have to wait until you have totally earned good treatment. Give it to yourself now.
Treat yourself the way you would like to be treated. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
What other advice is there left for Me to give you? Of course, you have heard this before in one way or another.
Begin with being generous to yourself, and the rest will follow. It is not that you put others before you. They are you, and you are just as good to seeming others as you are to yourself. First, you have to be good to yourself.
I am not telling you to be selfish. I am pointing out that it is incumbent upon you to be good to yourself. Then it will follow that you have the wherewithal within you to be really good to others. And everyone will copy you. And this is how the world goes around.
Be the sun that shines every day.
You don't have to be obvious. You can be subtle like the moon, and just as beautiful. Sun or moon, you are to shed light.
Hearts are hungry, beloveds. You know what that's like to have your heart hunger for love. Feed the hungry hearts, beloveds.
Now, what else do I have to tell you today? What else shall I say? Shall I tell you that you are the love of My life? You are. Shall I tell you that I love having you near and dear? I do. Shall I tell you that you are strong in My heart? You are like a windfall to Me. I created you, and yet you gave yourself to Me as a gift. I love the gift of your heart. Yes, yes, yes.
That's what hearts are for, to be given. To be given outright without a down payment. As freely as you give advice, give your heart. Give your heart. Stop the flow of advice, and increase the flow of love. Let love be your partner always. Give love the way you would feed bread to ducks. Cast your love upon the waters. Truly, beloveds, what else are you going to do with all the love I give to you?
Celebrate your heart today. Bestow honors upon it. First, you give your heart away, and that's how you have it. That which you cast upon the waters comes back to you. You can't give love away without getting it back. This is a fact of life. But the getting back is not to be thought about. The return will take care of itself and sometimes in ways that will surprise you. Don't be looking for the return. At the same time, when it comes back to you, notice it and be glad.
Love is returned to you in sundry ways. It has always been so. Love is returned to you hand over fist. You are waylaid with love, and yet do not keep count. Let go with abandon. Letting go has to be letting go. Let go so that what you let go of can sail across the world. Be an automatic dispenser of love. Your love is free like the air, and air flows. Breathe love in and out. Love mingles. There is no researching it or taking it apart. You cannot know which love is which, for all is yours and yet you have no hold on any of it. Of course, before love was yours, it was Mine, so We can say that all love is Mine, handed to you to pass on to other hearts so that they too can sail across the seas.

HEAVEN #3416 A Voyage of Wonder, April 2, 2010
God said:
It is no longer necessary for you to attend to your ego wants, even your ordinary ego wants, your seeming day to day ego wants. You have a different journey to go on, beloveds. You are stepping out onto a greater path. Your individuality is no longer the star. There is something greater going on.
You have already stepped onto another dimension. You have a greater cup to fill. You are filling it now. It is like you used to swim in the shallows, and now you are reaching the deep blue sea. The deep waters are calling to you. Heretofore, you heard the sirens of mythology calling to you, and you took detours and you stayed long in small places. Now you hear the calling of angels helping you along. You are entering the ocean, and you are starting on your true journey that takes you out to the middle of the ocean where your feet cannot touch and where you are buoyed and come along to Me full force.
Of course, there is no force. There is easy sailing. You are simply in the current. You sail without a boat. You do not even swim. The tide of love carries you along. You are on your journey to Me. You are making good time. You are at the point of no return to the past. You are floating on the ocean of My love. Look at you following your heart to Me. Look at you go. Look at you bursting through the waves, topping the waves.
The anchor of My love pulls you. My Voice pulls you, and you sail on My heart to My heart and to your destination. You are on your way. You are well on your way. Your fingertips are coming close. You are almost touching that which is not graspable. You are seeing over the brim of the ocean. I feel the currents as you wash over Me now. How simply We sail together across the seas of Eternity and Everlasting Love.
We cannot really say Our Everlasting Love because that does not say enough. It is too small a statement. Everlasting implies the possibility of another kind of love that does not last. We are in the midst of love. We dance in the arms of love, and We are transported to a stadium of love where all is love, and We are love revealed.
We are Transporters of love. We are the stream of love. We are love streaming across the Universe. We are the Universe streaming across love.
Let Us do somersaults of love on this journey. This journey carries us. We are love carried by love. We are armless and footless. We are instant Travelers. We set out and land at the same time. And where We land, there are no borders, no immigration. Free entry. Heartwarming welcome.
You are diving into My heart, and you find yourself here in My heart welcoming yourself to where you have always been. "Hi, myself," you say. "Welcome. I have been waiting for you with such anticipation, and now you are here, and now you begin."
You begin what, you ask? You begin a voyage of wonder.
From explorer you have become sightseer. Now you wear special goggles through which you see far, even though there is no far to see. All is near. Your vision zooms in and out. And your vision is My vision, and, so, the whole Universe has opened up for you. You are on tour. All is yours, and none of it possessed. All simply is, and there is wonderment at how simple, and how awash in love you are, sailing in My heart beyond space and beyond time into a world of ever so.

HEAVEN #3414 This One Simple Advice May Change Your Whole Life, March 31, 2010
God said:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fault is too.
You don't like to believe this because there is validity in the fault you see. Of course, there is, yet you are the one who has seen it and thought about it.
Beloveds, let sleeping dogs lie. Let life be what it is. You are not meant to be the editor of the Universe.
If you want to improve life in the world as it is, then, without question, find that which you like. This has been said so often, and is such a simple thought that you may pass right by it.
The most valuable thing you can do today is to find something you like about something.
When you are in a good mood, this is easy to do. When you are not in a good mood, this is harder to do.
But look around you, beloveds. A bird sings every day. A bird never says: "I don't feel like singing today." A bird sings because that is what birds do.
A human being has a choice, to find joy or to find fault.
The question posed to you isn't: "What do you feel like doing today, or what do you feel like saying today?"
It is the same as when you go to work. Mostly you are not in the position of asking: "What do I want to do today?" Most likely you have to ask: "What needs to be done today? What is important that I do today?" You may not feel like adding up numbers, but that may be what has to be done.
In your life, what is optimum for you to do today? Every single day of your life, regardless of the weather, regardless of where you are, it is for you to note something you like. Even if the weather is cold and blustery.
When there is someone you see fault in, then look for something in the person that you don't see fault in. There may be ten things you don't like about the person, but will you, as a favor to me, find one thing you could like? If he is a nit-picker, perhaps like you, he may not care about what you care about, but he cares about something.
And now we come to you, beloved. If you are a nit-picker with yourself, find something about yourself that you like. Turn yourself from a nit-picker into a good-natured person easy to please yourself. Perhaps the best thing you can be today is a person who is amicable.
Perhaps you can find as many good reasons to be pleased as you used to find to be displeased.
What if a person you are dealing with now rubs you so much the wrong way that you can't, try as you may, draw a clear breath in his presence. There is not one single thing you can think of that pleases you. I will tell you what to do then. This one simple advice may change your whole life. Here is what I suggest when you are stymied and someone simply cannot please you. Here's what you do:
Think of something you can do to please the person. Can you get him a cup of coffee? Give him a stick of gum? Ask him to tell you what you can do for him? Ask him about his daughter or his dog? What would be the cost to you, beloved? What might be the reward to the person?
No matter how trying a situation with someone may be for you, you have the power within you to ease it. If you cannot ease it for yourself, then see what you can do to ease it for the other person.
Isn't it strange that I would have to ask this of you when all are your brothers and sisters, and you, theirs?

HEAVEN #3411 The Captain Also Serves, March 28, 2010
God said:
When you are the captain of a ship, it is good for your crew to have confidence in you. Their confidence depends upon your confidence. Those who have confidence do not have to rule with a mighty fist. What would be the need for it?
A captain has mates, and that is how it is meant to be. The captain is a mate who cares for the welfare of all those who lift the masts.
In truth, the captain who leads serves the crew. He serves more than the crew serves, yet he serves the crew. As he serves the crew, he serves Me.
The head of a government is a captain. Whether the government is a nation or corporation or a knitting group, the leader is a captain. There are receivers. There are customers, and there are governors, and there is crew. The leader serves all. The leader serves. That is what he is there for, exactly to serve.
A leader is mighty in his serving.
Serving is a high art. A waiter in a hotel has to know how to carry his tray and to weave in and out between tables. He has to know how to be courteous and efficient. Efficiency isn't more important than courtesy.
All leaders serve their constituency. All leaders are also servants. They serve. All leaders are also crew. Leaders and crew build each other.
In an airplane, not one rivet is more important than another. The smallest rivet is no less important than the largest. The rivet nearest the biggest rivet is not more important than the one the farthest away. The pilot who flies the plane is important. The one who fuels the plane and closes the latch is important. The crew is important, and the passengers are important.
Everyone has a role to play and to play well. Although there are captains, all are leaders, and all are important. Badges and titles in the eyes of the world may be seen as more important than those without badges and titles. But, you understand, all that is a game everyone plays and winks at. In the Reality of which I speak, all are important, and no one is more important than another. There is an even playing field.
Regardless of your particular service, regardless of your starring role, you serve. Captain or crew, you serve. All serve, and all are served. Serve well.
If you are a teacher, you serve. If you are a student, you serve. The lines are blurred. The teacher also learns, and the student also teaches. Everyone is a receiver, and everyone is a giver.
As an example, who has responsibility for a classroom? Everyone has. The parents at home also carry responsibility. The school board does. Everyone does. Those who went to school years ago, and those who go to school now, and those who have yet to go to school also are responsible. Everyone is responsible to every other.
Who is responsible for the world? Who is responsible for your country? Who is responsible for your home?
Every home has its unique form of government. May it be love. May everyone in the family serve every other member of the family. All are stars. No one is not a star. From the youngest to the oldest, each has something to teach and something to learn. Make your home as you will it to be. Serve in the family. Service is not to be counted. Service is not to be measured. Service is to be given. If you are the mother or father, you have service to give. If you are the baby, you have service to give.
Captain and crew are servers. Serve well. Serve well.

HEAVEN #3410 Play Well, Beloveds, March 27, 2010
God said:
There is a tendency for My children to cast off their responsibility and attribute responsibility to Me. You are My responsibility, and, yet, willingly, freely, I gave you free choice. You have free choice. This is a great blessing. This choice equals opportunity. You are not a captive. You have great opportunity. Along with free choice, you have responsibility. It is good to be active and be beyond default and censuring others.
It is not for you to shake your finger at Me or anyone else. Affix blame on no one. That is not to say to make yourself a whipping boy either.
At the same time, you can know that you have influence over events. Your thoughts have influence. Your thoughts make a difference. It is not you alone who influences the activity on Earth, yet you do have say over what you do and what you see. You cannot insist that someone else get up and take responsibility for what you see.
If you are the one baking a cake and the cake comes out just terrific, you take pride in the cake you baked. You have every right to. If the cake turns out to be a disappointment, you may shift responsibility to the recipe, the oven, etc. And you may be correct! Nevertheless, you are the one who baked the cake, and the responsibility is yours. You can decide to never bake this cake again, or you can keep adapting the recipe until you get it right. The proof of the pudding is in you. Of course, you can have a teammate help.
You have a clarion call out to the world. What you call out to the world is your responsibility. If you gripe, the world is not responsible for your griping. You are. If you nurture the world, tell it its good points, uplift it, show it the way to go, you are also responsible. You are the key player on Earth. It is you who has the say over what you think and what you do or don't do. Bolster the rest of the team.
The team is Mine, and I give you all the equipment and the playing field. I root for you.
You are a team member, beyond a doubt. At the same time, no one can play for you. When you are out on the field, you give the game everything you've got. You give your team its due, and yet you rely on yourself. You have to catch the ball, You have to make the touchdown. Or, only when you have the ball in your own hands can you throw it to one of the team who can then make the touchdown. You contribute through your playing.
Play well, beloveds. In terms of your own playing, you are the star. Even if you are the water boy, you are the star. How you serve depends on you, a member of the team.
You are a member of My team. What did you think you were? You play for Me. My team is the only team there is, and you are on it. You may sit on the bench. That is your choice, not Mine. From My side, I would have every member of the team out there playing for all he is worth.
Even if you sit on the sidelines, you still play a part, and you make a mark. Make a good one.
In life, cheer. Cheer the team. Don't fault it, beloveds. Do your share to line everything up and make the game spectacular.

HEAVEN #3407 Make Room for the Stars to Shine through You, March 24, 2010 God said: The sun always has you in view. Even the edges of the sun's light reach you. The sun never leaves you out. The sun reaches your heart. The sun is yours day by day. And so are you Mine, definitely Mine, closer to Me than the most direct rays of the sun. I have absorbed you in My eyes. I have slipped you into My heart, and in My heart you are, and in My heart you stay. You stay of My own free will. And of your own free will as well. It is ordained. All this was set from the first day I made you. No matter what you do or say, you are My beloved child. Knowing that My love for you is constant does not make you lazy. Knowing this lightens your heart, and you want to be what I say. You want to serve Me. I make it easy for you to serve Me. I don't make it hard. It so happens that I simply love you. When I see you, I am happy, and I always see you. I see right to the core of you, and you are beautiful. You resonate with Me. You are captured in the core of My heart, and I never let you go. You are the apple of My eye. I am your beloved whether you know it or not. We have long been associated. We are longtime friends. We have always been holding hands. We are One Interwoven Heart. I would not abandon you, and you do not abandon Me. No matter how far a-field from Me you may feel, that is illusion. That is delusion. If you see yourself as far away, the lens of your heart is not clear. You are not capable of being distant from Me. No one is closer to Me than you are. And We are very close. Remove the splinter from your eye to make room for the stars to shine through you. The stars above are more than what they seem. They are more than particles, as are you more than particles, as are you far more than particles. Yet, of course, you are particles of light, and yet you are more. You are sparkling dancing rays of My light. You do move at the speed of light. You, the heart of you, breaks all records. Of course, We move together, and, so, it can be said that We win even when We are established and there is nothing to win as We are already All That Is. We are already that pure sweetness of love. Have you been afraid of Me? That would presuppose that I would be afraid of you! Why would I be afraid of you? Beloveds, it makes no more sense than for you to be afraid of Me. I have no fear, and I suggest that you let go of fear as well. Most certainly, let go of any vestige of fear you may have for Me. I am All Powerful, and it is love that is All Powerful. Love sweeps all else away. It takes fear, it takes all hurtfulness away. Perhaps you still think that there is something called Death that throws you over a cliff. The idea of death is attachment to a temporary world. The world is temporary. Your service in the world is temporary, yet you and I are permanent. A new red wagon loses its shine. Rivers flow. Day and night trade places. Not even for one moment is your life on Earth what it was a moment ago. Only in the world does time seemingly exist, and time is the most temporal thing of all. Only We and Our love are permanent. We are One faithful heart, never do We part. What more is there to say?

HEAVEN #3408 Palace and Roses, March 25, 2010 God said: You have a palace waiting for you, and yet you may choose to stay outside. You may feel that you don't belong in the palace. You have not been used to it. You say, "Thank you very much, but I don't belong in a palace. I belong outside a palace, even if I am out in the cold." Beloveds, there is no need to stay where you think you belong. You belong wherever you think you belong. And you deserve to belong in the palace with Me. Do not think for one moment that you deserve less. I should know, and I know that where you perceive lack is most certainly not where you belong. You belong warm and free with Me where cold does not exist and where hearts are full of love on all levels and in all varieties. Of course, there is one love, and yet it is displayed in many ways, just the way a rose blossoms, first this way and then that, turning itself from side to side, opening up its petals, blossoming to its fullest. That is the rose of love. The metaphor goes only so far because the rose of love where I AM is always in full-bloom and never withers. It doesn't get brown around the edges. Its scent gets stronger until there is nothing else in your life but the sweet scent of roses. Love is waiting for you. It nudges you. It tells you to come over to it. Love tells you to come over to this side of the fence, as it were, although there is no fence separating love from life on Earth any more than there is a fence that separates love from Heaven. There is no fence. And, if there were, the gate would be wide open. There is no purpose for a fence. None at all. You walk on two paths, although you may think you walk on only one. The fact is that you are immersed in Heaven. You know you are immersed in Earthly life, yet you may not yet have a handle on your Heavenly life. But, ahh, beloveds, your Heavenly life is where it's at. If you are not aware of your existence with Me, then you have hypnotized yourself. You are in a walking trance. If Heaven were a refrigerator, you are opening its door all the time, taking things out, and eating them whether you are aware or not. You went to the super market and bought up the special of the week, and you have enough for a lifetime. Collect your love, beloveds, and then use it. Give it away. It is so easy to restock your shelves. In fact, you don't have to think about it, for it is automatic. Love is automatic, beloveds. It is not contrived. As quickly as you think the word love, you will have more of it. You will have more awareness of it, for the fact is that you have all the love in Heaven. Since Heaven is part of you, you also have all the love in the world. If you are sure you do not, then you have been looking in the wrong places. Spill out that love of yours, and you will see great love. Keep giving it. Love mushrooms. It will grow before your very eyes. The roots of love are in Heaven. You can't go wrong with love, beloveds. Of course, We are talking of love in its pure form which is the only love there is. We are talking about the giving of love because this is what love likes. Love loves to give. So, go ahead, and give it without further ado. Permanent Link: http://www.heavenletters.org/palace-and-roses.html Thank you for including this link when publishing this Heavenletter elsewhere. HEAVEN #3409 The World Is a Reflector, March 26, 2010 God said: You are going to make a discovery today, a lovely discovery. You will see. You will have an insight. This insight will be like a revelation to you. This revelation will open you to a new world of your making. One little spark of light in your mind, and a whole new world appears before you. Because you become open, a whole new vista opens. There is a new switch in you. Off has become On. Such a tiny switch. Such a tiny change, and it changes everything. Your whole view of the world will transform itself. And when your view changes, so does the world. The world is in your keeping, beloveds. The world is of your making. The world follows your perception of it. You think the world as it appears to you now came that way, and you thought you saw the world as it was with all its nitty-grittiness, yet it is you who paved the world with your thoughts. You instituted the world. You cognized the world. Your thoughts made it so. Although I have told you that there is no cause and effect, in terms of the world, the world is exactly how you see it. There is no world without your perception of it. Who sees the world? Whose eyes snap photos of it? Whose eyes color the world? You have thought that the world happened to you. Beloveds, you happened to the world. This is why you want original rather that inherited thoughts, original thoughts rather than bought thoughts, original thoughts rather than pasted-on thoughts. Now you know it. You are responsible for the world. You cut the world out of cardboard from your thoughts. You pasted a collage of the world. Have you heard that the world is as you are? Now be the true you and fashion the world after the noblest thoughts of the soul that you are. Your thoughts transfer themselves like decals to the world. Now enrich the world with your thoughts. No longer downplay the world. No longer be embarrassed by it. Change its frequency. This is doable. It starts with you. This is your mission. You are to be concerned only with your mission. Do not watch to see what others are doing. Let them watch you and follow you. You first. One light in the world goes on, and then another. Pretty soon the sky is splattered with stars. The sky changes before your very eyes, why not the world? Flowers bloom. Then why not the world you live in? Frequent the world and hold it up to itself. Give it a model to go by. The world has no choice but to be transformed by your vision. The sun rises every day right before your eyes. Why not the world? Mountains stand tall and regal. Why not the world? Ships sail the seas. Why wouldn't the world sail on your thoughts? Of course, it does. The world is a reflector. It has no jurisdiction of its own. The world has to follow the thoughts of those who inhabit it. Throw away your dire predictions of the world. Sprinkle happy thoughts and spice up the world. Where you see dirt, plant a garden. Where you see fault, remove the fault from your own eye. Where you see unkindness, replace it. Replace it twice. Where you see carelessness, take care. Where you see heartlessness, take heart. What is there that the mind of man cannot do? What is there that the mind of man has not done? What blemish cannot be erased? What disfigurement can you not reconfigure? I know you rely on Me. I am telling you now that I also rely on you who are made in My image. I know you will come to the fore. An insight today will transfer you there.

HEAVEN #3405 Your Dancing Is Good, March 22, 2010
God said:
You are the light of My heart, and you are lighting up the world. I see your smiles. I hear your laughter.
The volume of your laughter raises the spirit of the world. Your happiness is the helium. Look how the world is rising. Your laughter pumps the world up. See how high the world can rise.
To carry the lighted world on your shoulders is not a heavy task. It takes no pushing and pulling. You need no lever. The simple lightness of your heart does the job very well.
The Creator asks you to create.
I ask you to travel to the Highest Heaven. Of course, this is no traveling at all. Or, if it is traveling, it is traveling in place, beloveds.
You are at the summit of My heart. Only seemingly are there ships full of seeming immigrants riding the waves to Me. Only in your awareness are you emmigrating. And yet awareness is key. Awareness is good enough. Let's play Our little game of hide-go-seek. I always find you. You always find Me. This is a game for that very reason. It's a game. We know it's not serious. We have fun. I am going to catch you. I am going to catch your awareness. I am swooping up your awareness right now. I gather it. I drape it. I lasso it. You are caught now.
It is a game because of how happy you are to play it!
In truth, I hold out My hand, and you catch it. I am like the brass ring on a Merry-Go-Round. What other games shall We play? Rather, what other games shall We act out the playing of?
How about: Here we 'round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush. There is no mulberry bush for Us to go 'round. Or, if there is a mulberry bush, We have already gone around it. The mulberry bush can come to Heaven too. You do, indeed, have the thought of Heaven.
"Rapunzel, let down your hair." All will climb those beautiful braids all the way to Heaven.
"Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow, and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go." Are you not My lamb who follows Me? I lift you in My arms. You are stationed in My heart, and yet I lift you to My heart. Beloveds, the games We play.
And then there are sports. You throw the baseball. You catch the football. You run or skate to make a goal. The goal is already yours.
You swim the Ocean, and you reach land. You walk the land in order to reach the Ocean and dive in. You are a Champion, and know it not.
You reach for that which is already in your hand.
You ran the un-runnable race before you knew you had started. Before you knew, the race was over. You won it. You have already attained the goal you seek. Beloveds, there is no running to do. There is recognition to make. There is realization to realize.
You do not have to seek your way Home, for you are Home. All the skirmishes are no more than your laggard beliefs in false idols. You are simply behind the times.
The waltz is over, and there is nowhere to go but where you are. And now the band starts up again, and you dance for the fun of it. You dance for the music of it. You dance to the rhythm of My heart, and your dancing, beloveds, your dancing is good.
