Gloria:
Dear God, here I go again. I still don't understand why anyone who sends in an uplifting comment would be shy to share it. There have been several good people who hesitate to have their question or comments printed here with their name. Without their name, they wouldn't mind.
Am I controlling by wanting to put in what I see as valuable?
God:
Yes, you would like to control.
And those who protect their privacy also like to.
The people who refrain from allowing their thoughts here for everyone are fearing what someone else would think. They want to be perfect. They want to gain or maintain an image. And they fear that they lose or give away some of their power in openness. It is their privilege to think that.
The truth is that all human beings are beautiful, and their questions and comments are worth sharing. All My children were made in My image. That is the only image they need.
There is nothing to expose. They have nothing to hide. They have nothing to keep secret. They have nothing to keep private. The mistake is in their thinking so. Not in whether they do or don't print their story, but in thinking there is something they must somehow protect.
As you let go of control within you, more Heavenreaders will feel freer. When you stop thinking that others ought to share, it will be easier for them to do so. Remember that it is all between the individual and Me. Not between you and them at all.
Expecting is demanding.
Be like water.
Easy.
Let come in what comes in.
Don't set up any gates or markers.
All is good.
Anything but freedom interferes.
Freedom opens.
Love reluctance in others.
Love fear in others.
Love others.
Accept.
Accept their idiosyncracies.
Accept their openness.
Accept their closedness.
Accept.
Embrace.
What does it matter?
I am taking care of everything.
Relax into human imperfection; just enjoy.
Gloria:
Dear God, as I read over my question and Your answer, it is so easy to see the difference between my judgment and Your love.
God:
Judgment wants to love. It wants to be pleased. But judgment holds back from love. It wants love to be justified. Love needs no justification. Judgment requires justification.
You could list ten reasons why someone should do something or not do something so that you can love them, and your ten reasons are all irrelevant. Reasons are examples of the justifying mind exalting itself. The mind is haughty. It is a know-it-all.
The heart, on the other hand, just is. All hearts are equal. All hearts are supreme. All hearts are Mine. I am not a judge. I am a Lover.
Gloria:
God, how alone I was when I didn't know I knew You. Nothing but You is enough. And yet, I don't have enough.
God:
And there is more to come.
Gloria:
The other day we had a beautiful rainbow over our house. I know it was over most of Iowa, but it felt like a blessing from You expressly here. I wanted to take it personally, that My God was loving me.
God:
However you sense My love, there is a hundred million times more. Billions more.
Love grows.
Judgment flags.
Judgment and love do not co-exist.
Gloria:
You, dear God, You recruit everyone. You do not choose one over another. You choose all.
God:
I cannot do otherwise because all are Myself.
Gloria:
Knowing You is to become acquainted with Love. You melt me, God.
God:
I melt your judgment. Then you can relax.
I am a Teacher of relaxation.
What is it you have to relax?
Backbone. Judgment.
You think you have to be strong.
You just have to be.
I am your Strength.
Let Me be it.
Know that you are nothing without Me.
Know that you cannot be without Me.
Know, then, that you are Everything.
My child is everything of Me.
You are everything of Love then.
Loose your love like long hair that has been held tight.
Unbraid your love.
Toss your love.
Let it down.
It is all My love.
Give some away. Give it all away.
Make room for more.
There is more and more and more.
All is My love.
All that there is is My love.
And you are My love.
Be it.
Gloria to Heavenreaders:
Tomorrow's Heaven will be a departure. It will be the first issue of Heavenpetals, the Godwriting from the preceding Continuing Education Ask God Workshop. Bev put Heavenpetals together, and chose the name from an expression in Julie's Godwriting. Each Godwriting is powerful and unique, but as a united whole, they are even more powerful. Wait until you see. You have something wonderful in store for you tomorrow. Many blessings!
