HEAVEN #3162 Treat Life Like a Good Employee, July 22, 2009

God said:

Will you bless yourself and the world with the idea that life is easy, not hard. Life is not always predictable. Life can be unpredictable and easy at the same time.

Life too often seems uphill to you, for often you make that mountain out of a molehill. You do that by your resistance to life. Resist life no longer. Welcome it instead.

Life is made up of many things and many occurrences and many people. You may influence much of what occurs in life, yet you are not the controller of life nor are you the circumventor. And so I ask you to let go of control, to let go of pushing and pulling. Control is holding on, dear ones, and I ask you to let go. Let go even of your hold on life.

Life will go its way, and it’s not for you to hold life back by its coat-tails. It is for you to let life go its merry way. You are subjective while life is objective. Life lays down its carpet, sometimes a red carpet, sometimes not, yet what can you do but walk on the carpet that life lays down for you? Life does not always fit your prescription.

Whatever turns life takes, you can go along with it. You might as well rail at the rain as to rail at life.

Embrace life whatever it looks like from one day to the next. If you cannot embrace everything that occurs, then accept what occurs good-naturedly. Roll with the punches, as it were, yet know that there are no punches. You feel blows because something you don’t want and had not figured out entered unannounced.

Perhaps you have been thinking of life as a mine field, and you keep dodging it. Perhaps you step so carefully that you stymie yourself. Perhaps, on the other hand, you carry a baseball bat with you to command life, as it were. Carry nothing, beloveds. Pick flowers as you go along. And if you come to a field of weeds, well, then, walk through it. Weeds do not go on forever.

Let go of demands and expectations. Treat life as you would a good employee. You don’t really get far bossing an employee around. Bring out the best in him, and he is happy to serve. Still, he may not always be perfectly in accord with you, and yet the employee and you do the best you can, and you both come out shaking hands.

Give life a break every now and then. Don’t be so hard on it.

Life is not intended to be viewed as a dentist with a drill. Life is not intended to be viewed as a pirate overtaking your ship. Life is not intended to be viewed as a kidnapper holding you for ransom.

See life for what it is. It is a playground. Life offers you a rebounder to bounce on. It invites you to a baseball game whether you hit a home-run or not. Win or lose, you are a player in the game. Really, not so much is at stake as you think, and you really do overmuch think that life is at stake around every corner.

You have eternal life, beloveds. On land or sea, you are in life for good. For good in every sense of the word. Forever and for the goodness of the Universe.

You do not have to hold on for dear life. You are guaranteed life. It is yours. I gave it to you. Be easy with it. Take it as it comes, beloveds. Greet it. Life is not a foe. It is a friend. It is your friend. Make peace with life, beloveds.

HEAVEN #3160 When Tears May Come, July 20, 2009

God said:

You affect the weather, and the weather affects you. Rain is good, and sun is good. Heat is good, and cold is good. You may prefer one or the other, yet you know better than to rail against the weather too much. You live with it. You take it as a matter of course.

Yet when your mood is as changeable as the weather, you have concern. When you are sad and weep, you take the tears to be of great consequence. Beloveds, they are only tears.

And when you are exceedingly happy, you also wonder what’s the matter with you, being so happy in a world you see as fraught with troubles.

I tell you to enjoy. Enjoy even the tears. Who said that you are wrong to have them? Who can say the weather is wrong whether it is rain or shine?

Do you see how you think too much? You weigh too many things. You may weigh everything. Weighing is judging. Weighing does not hold you in good stead. Let yourself be. What comes, comes. What does not come does not come. What is the significant difference really except as you say? You perceive, beloveds. You perceive.

What if it is all right to cry? When you feel sad, and tears come, must you rail against the sadness and the tears? Maybe tears are like a spring rain. Maybe they are, for the moment, necessary. Maybe they are a good thing. If you cannot say they are good, at least don’t tell yourself that they are wrong.

I am not recommending that you cry, you understand. I recommend that you laugh rather than cry. And, yet, when tears come, I recommend that you welcome them. I recommend that you welcome whatever comes. That is how you make short work of what comes. When you push tears away, you keep them. Welcome tears, and they will leave soon. Sorrow, sadness, grief do not last forever, so let them have their fill and then let them go on their merry way. They mean no harm to you.

There are like stores on a street. You enter one store, and you enjoy it very much. You enter another store, and you don’t like it. And so you find your way out. Both stores are impartial to you. The store is the store that it is. And so is it with your emotions. You go from one to another. Well, just go then without making a big deal of it.

No matter how sad and weepy you may be today, don’t hang on to the tears and don’t hasten them away either. Let them have their day. Tears will leave of their own accord. Simply release them when they are ready to go. Neither hold on to them nor shove them away.

We might say that tears are a fact of life, beloveds. In any case, they are not bad guys out to get you. They mean to comfort you. They mean to be kind. They mean to be your friend, your counselor, your safety valve. Be kind back to them. Tears may not be the guests you wanted. They may be totally uninvited. Nevertheless, you are courteous to them. And if they want to stay over a day or two, you accommodate them. Tears are not marauders, beloveds, nor are they freeloaders. Tears know when to come, and they know when to leave. You don’t have to be fraught with them, and you don’t have to abdicate them. They are only tears.

HEAVEN #3159 Letting Go of the Shore, July 19, 2009

God said:

From whence cometh your help? I AM here. And yet help comes from you, and it comes from your thoughts.

Have the thought that you don’t need help. Whatever occurs, wanted or unwanted, you are already being helped to grow. You are being stretched, beloveds. You are reaching further.

Whatever you perceive as trouble, do not wrap yourself around it. As best you can, do not embrace it. Observe, and send it along its way.

There is nothing you have to hold to yourself. How can you cross the ocean unless you let go of the shore? Tethered to land, how can you sail?

In prayer, you may be holding on to what you don’t want. Come from strength, for you are strong. You have weathered many storms. Seen from one angle, the clouds are enormous. Seen from another, they are not so threatening. Seen from another, the clouds have disappeared. Keep not clouds in your mind.

See as angels see. If you were an angel, what would you take note of? If you were an angel, how would you feel? How would you alight on Earth, and how would you let go of Earth? Angels carry Heaven on their wings.

What are your wings but your thoughts, beloveds? And what are you without reservation but the bright light of love?

Where can misery get a foothold when you know your angelhood?

Is not a messenger of God an angel? Have I not told you that you are My messengers? What kind of messengers would I have but angels? I chose you, and I choose well.

Sometimes people believe in the uniform they wear. They believe they are a waitress or a stewardness. They believe they are a housewife wearing an apron. They believe they are a policeman or a surgeon. They believe they are the badge they wear. Whatever disguise you are in, you are an angel. So have I appointed you.

Everyone on Earth wears a physical body and identifies with it. Human body not withstanding, you are an angel I have sent to Earth to bless it. What is an angel but a blessing? Do not believe in whatever else you identify with. Open your eyes, beloveds, and look up.

What would a God create but angels? So you are angel who does not believe in your angeldom. You have believed that you are a vagrant of some sort, perhaps a nomad in a no-man’s land. You live in the Garden of Eden, and your thoughts are the snake that hisses at you and makes you think you are unworthy and, therefore, elsewhere. You believe you wear a crown of thorns when you could acknowledge the halo I placed over you. Identify with halo.

Identify with light and not with the troubles of the world. The trouble with the world is what it thinks about. Thoughts abound in the world. The world is a heap of thoughts.

Change your thoughts, beloveds. Change what you are thinking about. Take other thoughts. Think about something else.

Thoughts abound, and you can take your pick. You can think that you are tired of running, or you can be glad you can run. You can stop running. You can be buoyed by the glory of thoughts, or you can sink a ship.

You carry some responsibility. Responsibility is not meant to be a burden. Responsibility does not mean blame. It means choice. Now I ask you to choose to think like an angel. Take flight from the rut of thoughts you may have been stuck in. Now you can take flight from old thinking, and you can rise high. Have a say on how you spend your thoughts.

HEAVEN #3152 You Have Alit on Earth, July 12, 2009

God said:

It is the ground of the Great Earth that you walk on. You build your house on it. You grow flowers and fruit and vegetables. Yes, please tend to the Earth that you live on.

Give it homage. Bless it every now and then as it was done in olden days. Hug it to your heart. The Earth beneath your feet is blessed Earth, and blessed are you who walks on Earth and gives back to it.

And if you live in the city, under the sidewalks you walk on, the Earth has laid itself for you to do as you will with it. The Earth is well-named Mother Earth for it gladly nurtures. While you are on Earth, give some love back to the Earth that bares itself for you. Respect and honor Mother Earth, and do the same for the parents through whom you came to Earth.

You have alit on Earth. You live on a planet. You live on the planet named Earth. It is your hearth, this planet you live on. Perhaps beings on other planets see you as an extra-terrestrial. It may be time now for you to view yourself in a bigger light.

You are My representative on Earth, you are My representative of the Universe. You are significant.

The stars represent Me to you. Be reciprocal with the stars. They are an intimate part of you. You carry the sun and the moon and all the galaxies in your heart. They are treasures of your heart. The whole Universe is a treasure of your heart.

From love you came. From love, all of existence, as you see it, was born. The Planet Earth upon which you stand was born. I created it. I created you and Earth for each other, just as I created everything for you and for every seeming other. It is all for you. It is all a gift from Me to you.

Be glad for the gifts you have been given.

Imagine all the flowering trees I planted before you. Imagine how the sun follows their development. It follows yours as well. Everything I have given to you follows you as I follow you. Everything is at your behest, and at My behest. Everything is for you, and everything is you.

Each leaf is My beloved. Each piece of bark. The soil is My beloved. All I have created is yours to befriend. I have given you apples to enjoy. Eat them with joy. Care for all the gifts I have bequeathed on you. They are yours. I gave them to you. I gave them to you on trust.

Love the grass. Squeeze it between your toes. Recline on it. Even as you walk past grass, acknowledge that it grows for you. Even mow grass in love. Pass out your love right and left for all that is at your feet, for all that is above you, for all that is in your grasp, and for all that your fingers cannot reach. Love what is near, and love what is far. Love your neighbor, and love yourself. Love the very ground you walk on.

Beloveds, there is no excuse not to love. There is not one excise. No matter what your woes, what your perceived losses, no matter where you are, what condition you are in, there is no excuse not to love. Just love. Even if it is your last breath, breathe with love. Look, I created Earth, and I created you. I gave all of My Creation to you. On what basis, beloveds, would you not love what I have given to you? Don’t make a list of why not. Just love.

HEAVEN #3151 A Red Wagon, July 11, 2009

God said:

Have no regrets, beloveds. Let them go.

There is life now, and people now. You live in a moving stream. You are moving your raft of life now. Go merrily. Do not try to backtrack. Do not try to erase or add or rewrite. If you feel you have a wrong to right, make life right right now.

Years ago you misspelled a word or used a word you wouldn’t now. It is not for you to worry about misspellings or choice of words or even actions from ago. Take care of this moment of universal time. Do this for Me, beloveds. No more attaching to errors of the past, yours or others’. All errors have already gone down the drain. The Universe has forgotten them, and so must you.

Your very recognition of error tells you that you have gone beyond. Let that be enough. Notice a fact, and then go past it. You have already gone past it. Be glad then. Do not adopt remorse. It is not a good thing to do. Remorse is an enabler of guilt. Remorse and guilt are twin brothers. They are hanger-ons. They would have you stay stuck in what you left long ago.

Once you stole jam from the jar in your mother’s cupboard. That was your consciousness then. Your awareness is different now. Be glad for that. Do not make much of what was once big and now is small. Even if you committed an egregious error, it is small now because it can only be seen from a distance. Why look back? The worse the error was, the more you have to let go of it. If you are not proud of it, then don’t keep it in front of you. If you are proud of an action from the past, make a new action to be proud of now. But, in truth, be neither proud nor sorry.

Once you had a red wagon. It served you well. Spend not time missing the red wagon and wondering what happened to it. The red wagon was a symbol of your childhood. The red wagon and your childhood had their prime. It is not now.

The same with lost loves. They were your dream come true once, or your dream not come true once. Create new love and scoop it out generously. Be the pourer of love now. That is better than all the remembered loves in the world.

And, of course, if you still carry resentments from the past, they have to be left where they were. It’s important that you leave them and have no more to do with them. If they are held to you by a thick rope, cut that rope now. Keep not a thread.

In a sense, there is no difference between resentment and remorse. Resentment is against others. Remorse is against yourself. No longer be against anything from the past. Be for now, right now, and then let go of that too because, soon enough, it is the past. Hold on to nothing. Help the past to go. Give your welcome past a fond goodbye, and kick out your unwelcome past as if it were a football.

The thing is that the past is done with you. Now you be done with the past. Undo those nails that have kept the past in place. The past is no longer integral to you. You are free from it. You have always been free from it except you thought the past was good to keep. The past is good to let go of. Let go now. What energy you will renew! Shrug off the past, beloveds. It was never yours to keep.

HEAVEN #3150 Who Is Your Life's Companion?, July 10, 2009

God said:

What shall I bless you with today? What would you like Me to help you with? I am at your side right now, and I am at your service. What else do you think I would be doing? What else do I possibly want but to serve you and serve you well? Keep that idea in your mind. I am Real whatever you may think. Still, your thinking of Me at your side will work wonders. Sense My Presence right now.

I am your Partner on your adventure. Consider that I am not a Partner miles or universes away. I am your Partner in your same office. I am your Partner as you drive to work, and I am your Partner as you drive home, and I am your Partner in all the in between. I am your Partner sitting beside you right now, and I never leave. I am full-time.

I lie beside you at night and wake with you in the morning. I am your Life’s Companion, beloved. I am your Friend Who listens to your breath. I am your Friend.

You may perhaps like to think of Me as a Godfather off somewhere that you call upon in need. Or a Rich Uncle. What do you think of Me as?

Perhaps you think of Me as a Genie who must grant every wish of yours, and you are disappointed in Me. Don’t be disappointed, beloveds. Have bigger dreams. My abilities are great.

I serve, beloveds. I am your Servant, and yet I am not a mere Servant. I am not your Tutor either, and yet you learn from Me. I am not really your Boss either, yet, beloveds, you do strive to heed Me. Perhaps you are My genie. Yes, I think you are very much like My genie. I supply you with My wishes, and you make them come true.

I am not the Nurse by your bedside. I am not a Surgeon. You may have well thought of Me as a Good Guy, and yet you may have thought of Me as a Non-Listener, even as I hear every thought of yours before you know it yourself.

I am the One Who has gone before you, beloveds, and yet I am right beside you. I hold your hand. I help you up the steps of life. My hand is on your elbow. I guide you, and yet I am more than a guide, and I am far more than a granter of wishes.

You might say that I’m a Juggler. I keep so many oranges up in the air all at once. I allow none to fall. You may, on occasion, think you fall, and yet, you who are already in arms, where can you fall to? You cannot fall from My Grace.

Sometimes you feel blows in life. You feel blown by the winds to somewhere you do not want to go. Sometimes you feel blown into a corner where no one really sees you. Sometimes you feel forlorn, and sometimes you feel blessed. Feel blessed now. Know you are blessed. No matter what it may seem to you in the times you call dark, I am still blessing you. You cannot reason this out, beloveds. You can just keep going, and keep going with your eye on Me, for I am right beside you. I never leave.

Would you really wash your hands of Me? Would you ask Me to leave? Would you give Me ultimatums? Would you stamp your foot at Me? Would you dismiss Me from your service?

Life is not perfect in your eyes, and life has been unfair to you and to others around you. You see this from astigmatism. Life in the world is not always on your terms, yet life in the world is not the only thing, beloveds. There is more than you can see. There will come the moment when you do see, and this will be a wonderful moment, this moment when you see.

HEAVEN #3148 Wow!, July 8, 2009

God said:

“Whoa,” you say to a horse when you want him to stop. When you want to stop yourself from being happy, you say, “Woe.” You say, “Woe is me.”

Will you think of something else to say? Will you speak more along the lines of: “Fortunate am I. How fortunate I am. How fortunate. How incredibly fortunate am I.”

Is it necessary for something to go away before you will be glad for it? Every toe of yours is precious. Your arms and hands move, as if in a dance. You are filled with grace, beloveds. Your eyes see, and your eyes lift up. They open and close. Is this not a wondrous thing?

You can think about everything that you have and everything that you are, or you can think about what you don’t have and what you think you are not. Oh, beloveds, what are you thinking?

You have a mind that thinks and a heart that feels. You can wiggle your toes. You can have an itch. Is this not a miracle of life, that there are itches and you have the means to scratch them?

What is not a miracle in the human arena?

You have a voice that makes sounds, and these sounds can be intelligible to others? Wow, isn’t that amazing?

Will you now, beloveds, say Wow instead of Woe? Let Wow be your new favorite word.

Wow, you woke up this morning. Wow, you got out of bed.

Wow, the sun rose this morning. Wow, a day is dawning. A royal carpet of life has been rolled out for you. Hop onto it. Bounce on it. Jump for joy that you are alive. You are ALIVE. Wow, what a gift life is.

Life is not a penance you serve. Life is more than something to put up with. How about serving life with appreciation for it?

You are alive in a human body. This is such a miracle, and you think of being alive as an ordinary event when it is, all along, an extraordinary event. Wow, you are alive. What an opportunity you have been given. What an opportunity you have.

You have been handed a treasure, and you don’t know what you have in your hand. You may toss it aside for another day, this treasure you have in your hand.

You have been given a feast, with such great delicacies to eat, and you say the bread is stale. But what about the soup? And what about the salad, and what about the fruit from a tree? Are they stale? Why single out the bread?

What about your becoming an appreciator? When are you going to? I suggest now. I suggest right now. I suggest you greet life right now with alacrity. I say you have joie de vivre. I say I gave it to you.

What have you done with your joie de vivre? Did you stick it in a drawer? In your jewelry box? When was the last time you took out your joie de vivre and placed it in your heart?

Perhaps you have said at one time, “What is the point of life when I am not happy?”

Beloveds, the very point of life is to be happy. If the spot of life you are on does not give you happiness, move yourself over to happiness. Unburden yourself of the frame of mind that convinces you that you are unhappy.

I gave you a gift of life, and you accepted it. If you have grumbled even once about this gift, you have grumbled too much.

I say, Whoa to grumbling. I say, Get up right now, and have a picnic with life. Make those sandwiches. Eat every crumb. Let Me hear you applaud life and all who are in it with you. Let Me hear you applaud. Louder, please, louder.

HEAVEN #3146 Seasons of the Heart, July 6, 2009

God said:

There are seasons in your heart, beloveds. Within your heart there is daybreak, and there is twilight. There is summer, and there is spring, and there is winter and fall. There is sunshine in your heart, and there is rainfall. Have you not experienced it all?

Here is where your heart surpasses the seasons in the world. The seasons are pre-set, yet there is a dial in your heart, and you can choose summer all the time. You don’t have to have the snows of winter.

Whereas the Earth is at the mercy of its geography and seasons, the Human Heart is solely at your mercy. You are the determiner of where your heart will plant its attention. You can turn the tide of your heart. Your heart does not have to flip-flop according to the weather of the world,

I am reminding you that you have choices. You do make choices. You make them all the time. I tell you to follow your heart. I mean your true heart, your heart of love.

When there are untoward circumstances, you don’t have to ignore them. You don’t have to kneel down to them either. You can say: “Heart, get up off your knees. I am sorry you have been wounded. Now I invite you to leave the scene of the accident, as it were, and take me to a meadow filled with flowers, where the sky is blue, and the horizon is vast. Let’s go somewhere we like to be. We have stayed in this spot long enough. Come, let’s go.”

You can say to your heart: “Heart of mine, my beautiful heart, there is no merit in being hurt. There is no merit in lying there. There is merit in getting up and finding the sunshine. There is merit in being alive. Let’s move along together with our heads held high. Heart, you are my saving grace. Come save me now from grief and trouble. Take me away from anything that is not joy for us. Let’s go to another harbor. Let’s set sail into the horizon. And if, dear heart, you are not able to do this, then let’s just jump, and see where the ocean waves take us.”

You can say to your heart when it is bereaved: “Thank God for you, dear heart. Thank God that you can feel. Thank God that you can feel grief, and thank God that you can leave grief. Leaving grief doesn’t mean that you let go of love. You don’t have to hold on tight to a loved one in order to love. Beloved heart, seasons of the heart do not hang on forever. The season of grief is over. Time to move on.”

You can say to your heart: “Let me give you solace. Let me get your mind off woe. Let’s hold hands and go down a different path. Let’s see what is before us. Perhaps we have had enough of what is behind us. Heart, you are the best heart in the world that I could ever have. I want to relieve you of burdens and not pile them high. Together, let’s toss out whatever holds us back from the full sunshine of love. Let’s fill you up with wondrous joy. Let’s clean you up, and we will go on a holiday together.”

You can say to your heart: “Full heart, we are going to see that you are filled with love. I am going to take you to a spa where you will be rejuvenated. I am going to give you the honor and care you are due. I am going to relieve you of anything that is not love. I am going to let you be what you have always wanted to be, a heart ready to love no matter the season and no matter in what direction you look. Do we have a deal, good heart?”

HEAVEN #3145 God's Desires, July 5, 2009

God said:

There are desires and desires. There is the sense in which, no matter how well-fulfilled, no desire is ever fulfilled enough. The new car loses its shine. A new car a moment ago was the answer to your dreams, and now the new car is just a car. And so you hop from one desire to another, and still you are desirous of something more, even when you don’t know what it is exactly. Perhaps you desire desire.

I am of the school that it is good to desire. Desiring means you are moving toward something or bringing it nearer to you. They are the same. What is the difference?

Desiring means you look at a landscape and find a place where you would like to be or a picture you would like to paint or a gift you long to give. Desires are pictures, beloveds, and they are pictures you like. Desiring more beckons you forward. You find out where you would like to alight. You find out, and then you can alight.

There is the desire to shine in My light. Is not that a likable desire?

There is the desire to serve your brother. Is that not likable?

There is the desire to bear children. There is the desire to give something to the world. There is the desire to be remembered for something you would like to be remembered by.

There is the desire to serve. There is the desire to feel and to be worthwhile.

Desires have great merit. Desire more, not less.

Desire awareness. Desire ability to choose. Desire goodness to reveal itself to you. Desire the goodness of your heart to reveal itself, to you and to everyone within the radius of the world and beyond the radius of the world.

Desire to have conscious awareness of Me and Our intimate connection. There is nothing closer than the closeness We are. I cannot say that We have closeness. I cannot say We have because We ARE. We are so close that We are One. Pretty soon you will not discern a difference. You will see only Oneness and laugh with joy.

Knowing Who you are doesn’t mean you will become high and mighty. It means you will be great humility in the Greatness you stand in. This means you will be in such awe of Creation that you will handle it with kid gloves. You will be Gentleness itself. You will know the power that is yours, and therefore you will be gentle. This is the power you have, beloveds. You are a sentient being who lives the power of God and honors it. You will be so kind to all, for all is within the power of God, and that is the power you are and that is yours to give. We can call this power energy. We can call this power love. Who cares what We call it so long as We use it and live it and spread it around.

How wonderful to be the server of mankind and all the beloved animals who live in the world. What a treasure you have in your hands. What a treasure you hold in your heart. What a treasure life is. What a treasure life in the vast world is.

As your inner sight grows, you may feel overwhelmed at the glory of the world. Instead of its failings, you will see its brilliance. You will, in effect, start bowing down to the magnificence of this very world you live in. You will see beyond the veneer it is covered in. You will see the true gold beneath. This is My desire that you see the true gold, and you will fulfill My desire. There is no stopping My desire.

HEAVEN #3143 Everything in the Oneness of Creation, July 3, 2009

God said:

All the multitude that you believe exists in the world has a common denominator, and that is I. To all intents and purposes, as it is now, I also includes you, as if We are two. In Reality, We are One, and We, the Oneness encompass All, even as there is only I. Metaphorically, I say I have a seat for you beside Me, yet, more accurately, there is no beside Me. There is no outside Me. There is only I, this magnificent burst of light, this all-encompassing love, this simplicity that you make into a puzzle.

Everyone you fall in love with is yourself. Everyone you fall out of love with is yourself.

There is no one else here but you and I. More accurately, there is only I, yet you like exchange, and you have not yet quite fully discerned Me or you or however you would like to put it. You don't yet fully accept Who You are.

You project yourself outside Me when, all along, you are within Me, not really within, really All of Me.

A part of you would like to be One with Me, and a part of you likes to hold on to the old ways which, after all, no matter how uncomfortable, seem like a cozy old bathrobe you are used to and do not quite want to part with. You may say you do want to part with it and meld into Oneness with Me, and yet you keep that old bathrobe as if your very life were dependent upon it.

In a sense, that is true. When you give up your old ideas, you also give up your previous identity. It was a false identity, beloveds, yet you waver about giving it up. You kind of like having this crumpled I.D. card in your pocket.

You are afraid of disappearing. You are afraid of stepping out of this old individual identity into your true Universal Identity. You are afraid of losing yourself, and so you lose yourself in the world of illusion. What a contradiction My children are. Ah, that is what makes you children. You haven't decided yet the significance that you already are. You are a hunter who likes to hunt. You are a seeker who likes to seek.

Nevertheless, you are in the process of Self-Discovery, not the details of you, but the very Essence of you which, after all, is I. You are fearful that the new clothes I ask you to put on will be too big. You cannot believe that they fit you perfectly. All along, unbeknownst to you, you have been wearing the royal robes. You cannot quite believe it, and so you don't see it. You hear Me, and yet you don't quite hear.

You think you are a little car with a little tank. All the while, you are the gas station.

All the while you dash around the Universe, you are the Universe.

You take a jaunt to see the scenery and have not yet discerned that you are the scenery.

You are the Seer who sees, and yet you see amiss.

You think you are a straggler in a big parade, and yet neither straggler nor parade exists.

Oneness exists, and you, you, My beloveds, are Oneness. Oneness alone is.

Oneness is not lonely. Oneness doesn't mean you are on a deserted island. You are the Source, beloveds. You are the Source you seemingly seek when there is nothing to seek and when you are Everything in the Oneness of Creation.

Welcome to My country.

HEAVEN #3139 See What Happens Today, June 29, 2009

God said:

You do know, beloveds, that life pretty much takes care of itself. Life doesn’t need all your intervention. Regardless of your intervention or your looking away, life pretty much has a life of its own.

Sometimes life turns out just as you wanted it to, and sometimes it does not. Certainly your intention and consciousness play a part, and yet life goes its own way anyway. Whether life goes the way you want or doesn’t go the way you want, you simply don’t always hold sway over life. Surely you know that by now. You are a player in life, yet you are not the only player. You play in the orchestra, as it were, and yet you are not always the chooser of what songs are to be played.

Life is not a horse that you can set your spurs to. Nor is life a horse that you can tell Whoa to.

Life does not give you a map ahead of time. Life makes its path as it goes along. If life has a plan, it often doesn’t let you in on it until the plan has been enacted. You are a partner in life, yet you do not call all the shots, and you are left in surprised delight or dismay.

Beloveds, will you admit that it may well be a good thing that you do not outline the map? You might misinterpret, and you might forget for a moment all the others who are affected by what you might decide.

Absolutely, envision your life and the world as you would like them to be, and then let them go their way, even when it is not yours.

You are not the Comptroller of the Universe. You have a say, yet not the only say.

You may desire to control life according to your wishes, yet if you did have such control, you would think from a greater perspective. You might want a sunny day for a picnic, yet knowing that you could make any day you choose sunny, you might give thought to the rivers and to the farmers, for you would know your responsibility.

Yet, even if you don’t know now, you do carry responsibility. You have responsibility for your input. You have responsibility for how you react to rain or shine. The fact is that even right now, you have all the responsibility in the world. How you take your place in the world is significant.

You have all the say in the world how you will be, and how you will be will affect everyone and everything else in the world. You don’t have THE say, and yet you have say.

If life is a card game, you have a hand to play. Play well. Whether you get the cards you want or not, play well. Beloveds, what else is there to do?

When everything turns up roses, that’s great. And when you have to fold every hand, isn’t that all right too? Who is to say it’s not? There are other people playing.

Sometimes you are the dealer, and yet you don’t deal yourself the hand you would want. Isn’t that all right too?

Will you bless every hand? Will you bless the one who holds the winning hand, and will you bless those who bluff, and bless those who play well, and those who play not so well? Will you just bless life, encourage it, and not give up on it and not be sore at it?

Will you play this game of life with Me, and let’s see what happens today. Let every day be your day to shine, why not?

HEAVEN #3133 Niagara Falls, June 24, 2009

God said:

The tide of life pushes and pulls in many directions, and yet there is one tide, and you are swept up in it. Inevitably, you are tumbling to Me. You can drag your feet. You can walk backwards. You can chain yourself to a post, and yet you are inevitably caught in the stream of love that flows and flows to Me. Life issues from Me, and it flows to Me. You flow to Me. And that is all there is for a Child of Mine to do. There is nothing else.

Whatever your format, whatever your charge in life, you are flowing to Me. You may even be flying to Me. In one instant, you will be here. Of course, it is only in your awareness that you have anywhere to go or time to do it in. Time does not exist. Only timelessness does. You are already safely and fully here with Me. You only imagine that you are anywhere else or that anywhere else even exists. What an imagination you have, and yet you cannot quite imagine what you cannot imagine. You imagine all manner of things, and yet you may well miss the One Truth of this imagined journey you are on. You may think you haven’t even gotten your toes wet yet, while you are already immersed in My heart of love.

As a matter of fact, nothing exists but this Niagara Falls that you are cascading down. But, of course, neither up nor down exists either. There is no direction to flow in, and yet the falls and the waves and motionlessness are bringing you to Me this instant. You come tumbling down or soaring up, and it is all the same.

This is not a leap you have to take. Or, if it is a leap, you have already successfully leapt and landed in My very heart. In truth, you have never strayed from it.

You had a moment’s reverie. Your imagination took flight, and you imagined you were somewhere when there is no somewhere to be. You thought you moved. You thought you vacated Heaven. What an imagination you have. What a stupendous imagination.

You imagine that you have to hold on to something when there is nothing to hold on to. You fear not holding on even when there is nothing to hold on to. You want a strap to hold onto as if you were riding on a subway or an el train. The truth is that you are unshakably with Me. If you must hold on, hold onto that thought and never let it go:

“I am unshakably with God. He holds me securely in His heart. I live in God’s heart. And I am somehow, at the same imagined time, an emissary of His heart. I recline in God’s heart while I believe I am touring the Universe. I believe there is a Universe to tour. Meanwhile, everyone I know joins with me in this mirage of life. Life on Earth or on any galaxy seems so real. It feels so fundamental. Of course, God is the basis, not the Earth I imagine I stand on. God’s heart is the basis, not mine. My heart doesn’t need culturing. It is my mind that does. My mind is a storyteller. My mind makes up a story, and I think the story is true because it has been racing through my mind for so long.“

Beloveds, your true story has been written. I will read it to you now. Your true story is that you are here in My heart now and never were anywhere else. There is nowhere else. You are here. That is the whole story.

HEAVEN #3132 The Bearer of Love, June 22, 2009

God said:

Love in the world is seen as a finite thing. Love is seen as having a beginning and, too often, an ending. The verb love has present tense, past tense, future tense and other variations as well, and yet love itself comes not from a world of time. The pitter patter of little feet is not the same as the feet themselves. The pitter patter can pause, and yet the feet are still there.

We can compare love to music. Music is played, and when the band stops playing, music can still be heard even as the instruments are still. The music is heard inside. It was always inside. The outside is an interim, yet inside the music is always.

A visitor comes to your house, and a visitor leaves your house, yet love is far more than a visitor who comes and goes.

I do understand that love does appear to you as a temporal visit, perhaps a guest who gets up and leaves in a hurry, or one who stays longer than you may want.

Love in the world has disappointed you, and yet love is not that which comes and goes. Love does not really vary. Love itself does not go up and down.

Love is the stage you appear on. It is your very platform.

We can compare love to a purse full of money. You reach in, and you reach out. You spend some. You gain some. And yet you have an unchanging purse-full of wealth. Your purse of love is full whether it is in your pocket or in a drawer somewhere. Love is not limited to a place nor can it be smaller. Love is its own inherent size.

You have a heart full of love. You spend it on occasion, and, on another occasion, you reap love. Even so, love is a constant. It is a given. Because love is sometimes hidden doesn’t mean that love has gone anywhere. Where can love go, beloveds? Love is the substance of life itself. When a body that housed love leaves, loves isn’t over. Love stays, and it also accompanies the bearer of the love. There is no place for love to go to when it is everywhere.

Love is like the air. You can breathe it in and out, and yet there is always air. And the same air is breathed by all. Air is not in short-supply. And no one owns the air. Air is for all, and love is for all. And love comes from everywhere. And love goes everywhere.

Even when a fan directs air to you, it is not your air. You may be cooled by the motion of the fan, and yet you don’t own the air. You don’t really give air, nor do you really take it.

Love cannot really fit in your hand. It cannot even fit in your heart. Love breaks all boundaries. In truth, when it comes to love, there are no boundaries to break. Love is not a candy bar that can be broken in two. Love can be shared but not broken in pieces. There are no fractions when it comes to love.

Love cannot be counted nor must it ever be discounted. You don’t own it, yet you have it. It is the most wonderful thing you have and yet do not possess. All love is Mine, beloveds, and I bequeathed it to you. Love has so much leavening, it is self-perpetuating. There is no more nor less when it comes to love. Love is love, and love is, and you are a carrier of it.

HEAVEN #3131 Cinderella's Carriage, June 21, 2009

God said:

What makes a splendid day for you? It is not passivity, beloveds. Nor do you have to wrangle your day. You can go out and meet your day. You can shake its hand and start a stellar tour with the day. The day will be like Cinderella’s carriage. It will take you wherever you like, yet at the stroke of 12 midnight, it leaves you. But for the preceding hours, the carriage and its liverymen are yours. This carriage will take you to the ball where you will meet the prince. The carriage will take you just about anywhere you want to go.

Sit up in the carriage. Don’t slouch. Sit up so you can be sure to see all the sights you drive past. Face the front of the carriage where there is a vista before you. Look from side to side, as you will, but don’t look out the back. In front of you is where the action is.

Certainly, on another day, the prince you danced with, can come out looking for you, and find you. Your day and his day are an engagement in life. Days do bump into someone else’s day. A day is truly a day for all.

And, yes, there is weather. There are muddy days and sunny days. There are all kinds of days just as there are all kinds of carriages for you to travel in. No matter how simple the carriage, it can be beautiful, for you are riding in it. It can be smooth or bumpy, and you ride in it.

Consider the carriage of the day you ride as a horse that you ride on. How you ride the horse has something to do with how the horse trots or gallops or waits for you. Your style does have an affect on the horse you ride today.

You don’t have to crack the whip, yet you play an active part.

I do not think that you can ever appreciate a day too much. It comes to you loyally and presents itself to you. It gives itself to you. It offers you itself. Even when you choose not to go out, the day is still with you. It makes no difference to the day. It does make a difference to you, however.

You have counted days, and you have reflected on them. You have gone fast, and you have gone slow, and yet a day presents itself to you every time, and says, “Where do you want to go? Where do you want me to take you? How do you want me today? Simple or full? Easy-going or racing?”

The day says to you, “I can be just about anything you want me to be. And if I don’t succeed today, my counterpart, tomorrow, will take over and finish our ride around the park. So let’s get going, and see what you can make of me. I do believe that you set our course. I make away with you like an attentive lover while, at the same time, I simply follow your bidding. I read in your eyes what you want us to become and where you would like me to take you. I am at your service, and I do oblige. You can transform me. You can make me what I never was before. And yet I have my own vitality too.

“And every day, like clockwork, I return you to the bed you left, or a new bed. Regardless, I am always on time. I pace myself. You and I wind up together. We start out together, and we return together. And never have we seen two days of us exactly the same. I am like life itself, full of variety and vitality, and full of choice as well. I will take you around the block, or I will race with you to foreign lands. Always I am with you, and always I restore you.

“Where shall we go today? And how far would you like to go?”

HEAVEN #3124 Plant Your Love in Good Soil, June 14, 2009

God said:

I am well aware of your tendency to want to figure things out. Your logical mind loves to pounce on ideas and turn them into concrete evidence. The mind uses the information it already has and often looks to find flaws, whereas, when the heart knows, it just knows. Take love, for instance.

The mind can give an endless list of reasons to love or not to love, yet not one reason can manufacture love or instantly stop its flow. Is this not true?

The heart has a mind of its own.

However, please do not think I am exhorting you to be mindless, beloveds. I am not telling you to flaunt love. I am not telling you to be flagrant with love. I am not telling you to not to keep your wits about you. I do tell you to love all, including yourself.

Put yourself in situations where love can shine. Don’t put yourself in situations which virtually guarantee to hurt your heart or even harm you, for then it must be attachment or even addiction and not love at all. Do you know what I am talking about? You are not to let yourself be used as if you don’t matter. Do not throw yourself away as if you were not worth gold. It is not that you must always be smart in love. It’s just that you don’t devalue love. You don’t add up columns of love as you would numbers, yet value yourself, and value others, and value love.

Love does not cling. Love does not have to have all of itself in one place or another. Love does not have to prove itself. Let Me say that again. Love does not have to prove itself. Love does not have to get loud. It can be quiet, and love can love from afar. Love gives and love gives itself away, yet love does not give you away as if you, this God Being you are, were not of value. You are worth a great deal. You are worth gold. Know it.

It is good to love all. Give your love and not your worth. What you are worth is not dependent upon anyone you love nor is it dependent upon anyone’s loving you. And yet do not throw yourself away. Cast your love upon the waters, but do not get drowned, beloveds.

You are not needy. You have thought you were. You do not need life to provide you with the love you may have thought you need and, therefore, must have. Love from outside is not the making of you. And your loving from the inside is a natural thing and not a special decorated event.

Yes, I understand that you develop your God-given capacity to love as you go along. I understand that true love has sometimes not been true. There is no textbook that can teach you how to regard yourself and to regard others. In its way, life is the textbook.

Here we come again to the basic proposition that you must love yourself first before you can truly love others as they are meant to be loved and as you are meant to love.

All the constrictions in your heart are not meant to be there. Love yourself, and your heart will be free of constrictions, and you will love as I do love. You will love in a way that gives value to love. Your love will serve the Universe, and it will serve Me, and it will serve you, and it will serve all. Beloveds, plant your love where it will grow.
