Gloria to God:
Karen called me yesterday, at Your request, to strengthen me for the upcoming increase in HEAVEN's circulation. You, Mary, and Jesus did amazing work on me and the world through her, and I thank You all so much.
Many gems also came from Karen. One was: in doing Ask God Workshops, it's good for me to remember that I do not do the workshops to help the people in the workshop. I do the workshops to help You help the people. This orientation keeps me in Your light and not bound to others, and so I don't pick up their pain. I am not to give my love but to vibrate Yours.
God:
This point has a lot to do with Jesus' strength in the world. He did not take on the pain of the multitude. He surrendered to Me and not to individuals.
He could heal others without using up his own energy because his worship of Me kept him in perspective.
Consider the word "worship" as attention and giving over to Me. It is not idle adoration. It is pulling the right strings, riding the right horse, and touching the right shore. When you do for Me, it is easy. If something is hard, you are not letting Me help because you are saying, "This is my work; it is mine, and I'll do it myself."
Acknowledge the work is Mine, and you serve Me and thus allow Great Resources to carry the weight.
Gloria:
Karen also said that Ask Workshop people and Heavenreaders also, I believe, are learning Beingness, just to be. Then that must be what You teach here.
God:
I teach pure love, and that is Beingness.
Gloria:
So, in order to experience pure love, we have to surrender and let go?
God:
Let go of preconceived ideas. Not only do you not know everything, you know nothing at all. Then you become innocent and let go of control.
Gloria:
Karen defined healing as releasing blockages so I can know truth from within, so I can accept and allow truth and love to come to me.
God:
Yes. If My children had not accrued blockages, they would know only pure love and being.
What do you think I do but give truth and love all through the universe all the time? I am not short on giving. You are short on receiving. All has been given.
Gloria:
Karen also wondered why, in churches, we don't pray for rain when and where it is needed. Or to pray for all to have wealth. I'm trying to think what do people pray for in churches, and, I suppose, to be absolved of sin. At Christmas, for peace and love.
God:
The first thing is to connect to Me, however that occurs. Willingness will do it.
And, yes, why not ask for rain and peace and expanding love in churches? And why not ask for wealth?
Gloria:
Bev, among others, is going great guns with her own Godwriting, and, she has expressed a lot of wisdom and love to me in her own words. For instance, she said what Karen did, in different words, about staying in God's light.
But, in an email yesterday, (I don't have it with me) she said something like this: "I'm still asking God for small things like how to make more money." And I wondered if that were judgment.
God:
If someone says something is big or small, it is judgment.
You, Gloria, are not the only one who considers money a selfish, perhaps, trivial pursuit. I tell you that search for money is honorable. It is no less than search for health and other well-being. Money is not separate from Me.
Money has been given a bad press.
Think of what you can do for Me with money!
I did not put Bev or you on earth to do without and to strain for sustenance.
You both have to take care of yourselves in this respect. It is honorable.
Yes, I will always provide. But how nobler it is for you and Bev to be in the position to help your fellowman. How fine to be My agent to help someone else rather than to be the one helped.
The word "money" is even hard for you to write, Gloria. You think it is too crass a word for Me.
Not at all.
It is easy for you to say wealth and abundance. Say money. Surely money is not the only wealth and abundance, but it is one. Of course you do not love money more than truth, and you do not put money above Me.
But you do not eliminate money as unworthy. You use it for good. It is good to have money. Do not demean it, or it will be hard to have.
I send you flowers. I send you rain. I give you love and wisdom and people to share with. I also give you money, hard cash, currency, coins, lucre, fortune, gold, chits, chips. I want you to have plenty of money. Money is also one of My blessings. Honor it, and you will have it.
At the same time, you know money is nothing at all. Illusion of illusions. But it is good to have some. I want no child of Mine poor.
Do not feel poor, and then you will not be.
Invite money. Welcome it. It is a message from Me. I wrote a check: "The bearer of this money is My worthy child. I wrote this check of abundance of money for My child long ago. He can cash it in whenever he wishes. He can know there is always more. I like My gifts to be accepted."
Say the word "money" over and over again until you can feel comfortable with it. Money, money, money.
Let it become your servant, never your master. But let money come to you, and then share it wisely.
Gloria:
God, how did we get from blocks and being and pure love to money!
God:
Money has been one of your blocks. Release the blocks; don't keep money away. Don't avert your face from it.
Consider money rain after a drought, and put your face right up to welcome it.
I want all of My children to have spending money in their pockets. Consider money a symbol of Me. Money is not the anti-Christ. Money is good. You can spend it. You can buy groceries with it and pay rent, you can travel with it, and it can free your mind so you can spend more time with Me — quality time — enriching Me and others.
Money is good.
Earth is good.
Bodies are good.
They are what they are.
And you are what you are, a child of Mine on earth who tills the soil and reaps its rewards.
Be My child.
Accept everything equally and innocently. Why not money?
