If God’s Love Were a Ship

God said:

What is there to say but that I love you. From the moment I had the first thought of you, when you were the twinkle in My eye, My love was for you, and My love became yours. You are so integral to My love. Yes, I can just love without an object. I can just beam My love out even when there is no one to send it to. I created a receiver of My love. I created you. You have always been the apple of My eye.

It could be said that I created a server of My love, or even a servant of My love. I, Love, created you Love, a shiny red apple of My love.

It could be said that I wanted to look in a mirror and see all the possibilities of the carriers of My love, the dispensers of My love. Truth be known, all I can see, really see, is love. In terms of anything else, I can listen to your words and repeat them so you know that I listen, yet I am incapable of seeing what you see. I take your word for it, beloveds, and so I say back to you what I have heard you say to Me. I repeat your words so that you can know I do hear you and listen to you. But to Me, all your angst is indecipherable. I accept what you say as being true for you, yet what you feel is foreign to Me. I do not go down to your level, and yet I am like a father who, for a moment, stoops down to his child so that they can look into each other’s eyes.

In that sense, We are alike, for you are also in the same position of taking Me at My word. My word never changes. My view doesn’t change. I see with the clear pure light of day. And yet this pure clear light of day is obscured from your view. See how equal We are? We are in the same boat, as it were.

You really do stand tall in My love. You have deceived yourself, and yet you are a sincere seeker of Truth.

I see Truth, and you see and speak illusion. You believe in illusion. You are sincere, yet misinformed. You guess at Truth. You make a stab at it, and yet it eludes you, time and time again. You repeat yourself. You go through the same motions again and again. One day, one day soon, you will step out of where you have held yourself captive.

If My love were a ship, We would say that it holds fast to its course. Full throttle. Straight ahead. My love would be a cruise ship or a great merchant ship. With all respect, your love expressed in the world is more like a leaky rowboat. You have misplaced the oars, and the wind and tide twirl you around, and so you turn like a little paper sailboat in the breeze. You are not always aware of the anchor of love that is yours. I am your Anchor.

Nevertheless, you can hold fast to the course of love. You can take the high road before you. When you have free choice, and you may have to choose between love or not love, you can choose love. You who can choose what dress to buy or what tie, you can certainly choose love. At the very least, you can refute the other choice of non-love.

Isn’t it remarkable? You who are made of love did not always choose to choose it.

IF GOD'S LOVE WERE A SHIP

DEAREST MAESTRO, I AM SORRY THAT WE SOUND SO DISAPPOINTING TO YOU. WE ARE NOT IN HEAVEN, THOUGH
YOU TELL US WE ARE. WE ARE HERE WHERE THERE'S GREAT PAIN AND SADNESS AND TRAGEDY AND HORRORS
THAT ARE INDESCRIBABLE.

I KNOW YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF SEEING WHAT WE SEE HERE.

OH, WELL, IT IS NONETHELESS AN EXTRAORDINARILY BEAUTIFUL WORLD, THERE ARE GLORIOUS SUN RISES
AND SUBLIME SUNSETS AND THE MOON IS SO INSPIRATIONAL TO LOOK AT. I READ SOME WORDS RECENTLY
THAT THE MOON HAD TO SAY AND SHE IS QUITE AN EXTRAORDINARY LADY. FLOWERS DELIGHT US. AND DOGS
ARE GREAT COMFORTERS TO ADULTS AND CHILDREN ALIKE. WE HAD SOME SPECTACULARLY HEAVENLY WEATHER
FOR 2 WEEKS IN OCTOBER., THAT FELT LIKE PARADISE MIGHT FEEL. WE LOVE TO READ WHAT YOU SAY, NEVERTHE-
LESS. WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR ALMOST INDESCRIBABLE LOVE CREATED US. THANK YOU.

PERHAPS I OUGHT NOT TO HAVE SAID THAT WE DISAPPOINT YOU. FOR YOU ARE NOT DISAPPOINTABLE, I AM SURE
OF THAT. YOU SEE US IN A LIGHT THAT WE SIMPLY CANNOT SEE BY. WHEN YOU DESCRIBED REAL LIFE YESTERDAY,
WE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. WE ARE TOTALLY BEFUDDLED BY REAL LIFE BEING INCIPIENT ,
WHERE THERE'S NOTHING HAPPENING. AND THERE'S ONLY LOVE EXPRESSED ALWAYS. THAT SOUNDS SO FOREIGN.
WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO ILLUSION DOWN HERE AND I GUESS WE'VE LEARNED TO LOVE IT, IN MANY WAYS.

I WISH WE COULD LOOK EACH OTHER RIGHT IN THE EYES, AND FEEL THE LOVE THAT WOULD POUR OUT FROM YOURS.

Beloved Mary Moon, I'm glad

Beloved Mary Moon, I'm glad you noted that God cannot be disappointed. He is such a Realist, isn't He?!!!!

Dear MaryMoon For so long a

Dear MaryMoon

For so long a wanted to congratulate you for your fine comments all the time, but this touches me personally, do you know why because of the weather report in October, you must have experienced it in USA like me. It was like a second summer and I went to the shore, the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean from sunrise to sunset. So when you say this I feel oneness with you. FOR 2 WEEKS IN OCTOBER felt like in LIKE PARADISE .

I am incapable of seeing what you see

Hi, sweetest Gloria and everyone.
Well, I don't feel your lack because every day I read you and bring you all in my heart.
Love is a choise, yes, starting from the belief we all are love and, even if incapable to know this, we belive it. The choise bring itself our realization. Choosing love we choose everyone of us, that we are one.
We are that we are, human and divine.
Blessings to all

Beloved Pitta, it means so

Beloved Pitta, it means so much to have you back here. Yes, I felt a lack without you. How irreplaceable each one of us is.

This is what I suspected.

This is what I suspected. That I really don't know about anything. That no one I know does. Well, it's rather a relief to hear that things are radically different from what I thought they were like. What is there to do? I think I'll go on shouting commands on my paper sailboat, acting as if I were not simply blown about. Waiting for that day, soon, when I will step out of where I have held myself captive. Just to give You another information, dear God: It's not nice to be my own prisoner. I'm not even a nice guard.

How your suffering makes me

How your suffering makes me laugh! We must be friends sailing together on that little paper boat. And don't we have fun?

Yes fun it is and

Yes fun it is and furthermore if you have brothers and sisters they also are sailing on this little paper boat, aren't they?, because they are from the same family, the Commander in Chief however is on a big SHIP.

Jochen's full of it today!

You say you don't know about anything and proceed to tell us about your very own paper boat and being some kind of Prisoner. Your very own expressions give you away precious LIGHT ONE. You don't fool us for a moment, you don't! The Commander of the Ship of Faith gives us a wink.

If I were...

If I were a cat I would say "miaooo"; if I were a dog I would say "bau"; if I were a bird I would say "cip-cip"; but I am me and I say "Booo...".
"Indecipherable" we are to each other.

At least we know what

At least we know what everyone is going to say...

Both Jochen and Emilia sing about knowing!

What they will come to know that each person is invisible to the other person, and for the most part are invisible to themselves. There isn't anything to know if you don't know you and love you!

George

Yes.

Yes.

know and love

Wise George, we could try it on dry ground.

A Boat of a different color?

It's not often we are taken to the Lamp in the movie projector to be shown why our life movie looks the way it looks but this Heaven Letter does exactly that. Read it again and listen to the Ship's Captain tell you about it's mystery, not about the ice burgs, or sharks but about the Deck were we all rest as guests of the Captain. He knows his job so well, and He knows how we look at life from what we think is a tiny row boat. Learn to trust the Boat of Life and its Captain.

At every moment we can learn

At every moment we can learn so much, ty George. Since I read HL, each time I see a certain humor and easy, not only in the HL but also in the comments. Today I got something a story about an elderly couple this is so good and full of joy:
"Last night me and my daughters had a great time listening to a "blues" band...
The youngest guy in the band was 51 and the oldest was in his 70's.
What thrilled me was this older couple who were there. The gentleman was using
a walker to get around but that did not stop him at all!
He brought his wife out to the dance floor and held onto the walker with one hand
and twirled his wife around anyway. You should have seen the look of joy on the
wife's face.
Incredible!
What was even more heartwarming was the look of pride the gentleman had as he watched
his wife enjoy the dance..
Now folks, this is a couple who truly love one another. They sure gave me a lesson in love.
The man certainly had the perfect excuse not to take his wife dancing didn't he?
So how can we apply this lesson to our own life? Mother says the real truth here is not
that the man "forced himself to dance" but that he did it from his heart for the pure
joy of seeing his wife doing something she loved.
This is a lesson I will seek to emulate. Let's all allow ourselves to find joy while
sharing in the joy of others."

Dearest Raymonde, thanks for

Dearest Raymonde,

thanks for sharing this wonderful story, and yes, let us all allow ourselves to find joy while sharing in the joy of others.

much love to you dear
Berit

RayMonde shows us love that is real

We all thank you for opening this beautiful love lesson for learning how to fly in the clouds of God's gentle world.

I am incapable of seeing what you see

Something that keeps haunting me since I first read it.

It could be said that I wanted to look in a mirror and see all the possibilities of the carriers of My love, the dispensers of My love. Truth be known, all I can see, really see, is love. In terms of anything else, I can listen to your words and repeat them so you know that I listen, yet I am incapable of seeing what you see. I take your word for it, beloveds, and so I say back to you what I have heard you say to Me. I repeat your words so that you can know I do hear you and listen to you. But to Me, all your angst is indecipherable. I accept what you say as being true for you, yet what you feel is foreign to Me. I do not go down to your level, and yet I am like a father who, for a moment, stoops down to his child so that they can look into each other’s eyes.

I still don't know what to think.

Dear Jochen, the same thing

Dear Jochen, the same thing now confused you, did me once.
God is Perfection. God is Love. I now belive Love is not the love we intend to, Love'sGod is something we can only slaghtly grasp, is out of our mind, we couldn't "understand" it.
Perfection and Love are only two words, witch we refer to our emotions, but they don't.
Like Perfection God couldn't grasp anything that is not Perfect. If God could, what Perfection could it be? Nothing that is defective in the perfection can be God. In fact God see us as Perfection. Love is not the love we speak about. Love is the most natural state of the Spirit, and that state we call Love.
So, dear, God see us like His Perfection, that we are, and every uman role is not but the illusion, like separation is, it is our game on the screen of the world. And we, God on Earth, play this game togheter. Awareness can clear up our view. And the search of new horizons can do, for God is always a new horizon in front of us, still our awareness arise. Because, really, none search is necessary, for we are just when we need to. But we can't belive it.
Blessings

Cara Pitta, thank you. I

Cara Pitta, thank you. I sort of agree with you, at least partially. Yes, mind cannot understand. That's why, increasingly, I feel there are too many explanations, a veritable barrage of explanations, more than I can follow, more than I care to follow (even in your words). I don't see how it is that a God who says, "what you feel is foreign to Me" can go on an on about those very feelings and their backgrounds and misconceptions. I start feeling sucked into some sort of pilpul, some empty reasoning that leaves me more and more confused and also angry at times. I would often like to say, Give me something simple. What we are talking about here has to be fundamentally simple, no?

"fundamentally simple"

"We should make all spiritual talk simple today
God is trying sell you something but you dont want to buy

That is what your suffering is:
your fantastic haggling
your manic screaming
over
price."

--Hafiz

With love.

Ah,

Love.

Love.
