The Gifts That God Does Give

Hello, beloveds. How are you?

I will answer for you. You are wonderful! How can you not be wonderful when you have a God like Me? Ah, but perhaps you want a different kind of God. Perhaps you are looking for Santa Claus, yet I am more than Santa Claus. I go deeper. I go deep into your soul. I raise you to My height.

Santa Claus has his place. He is an aspect of Me. But Santa Claus drops off gifts for you and then rides away.

I work differently. I stay. I am a gift-giver as well, and I am also a Companion. I load up My sleigh every day, and I look out for you all the time. You have My full attention always. With all regard for Santa Claus, I do not hop on a sleigh and leave you to open your gifts after I have gone.

The gifts I give are not always gift-wrapped. It is not always so easy to see the gifts I leave for you. Many are invisible. It may take some doing on your part before you are able to see them and accept them. Beloveds, there is not a moment that I am not sending you manna from Heaven. You may, indeed, be looking at other things. You are distracted. You may be looking for gifts in the wrong places.

Also, please do not ever think of Me as a Santa Claus of the olden days who would leave coal in your stocking because you were naughty instead of nice. I love you when you are naughty, and I love you equally when you are nice. Aim not so much for being nice or naughty. Aim for greater closeness to Me. There is nothing like it.

Again, with all due respect to Santa Claus, if I were Santa Claus I would whisk you off on the sleigh with Me. All the children on Earth would be riding with Me. My sleigh would be laden with My happy children, riding on a sleigh with Me. Some would ride bareback on Prancer and so on. We would have such a wonderful time. You would not even be thinking of something so little as a material gift. You would be riding on a sleigh with Me. Soon enough, you would find yourself as the gift-giver. You would even happily leave your gifts for another child of Mine. You would gladly become Santa Claus. It would no longer be so vital that there be gifts left at your house. In fact, you would be glad that others have the gifts with your name on them.

It's not that you would suddenly become unselfish. It is that you would no longer be selfish. You naturally wouldn't be thinking of yourself first. You wouldn't because you would be riding in a sleigh with Me, and you would see from the heights I see. You would have a whole new perspective. Your heart would soar as well, and what more would you want? What does Santa Claus ask for but to be able to deliver the gifts he has. Santa Claus would not be happy if he couldn't deliver his sleigh full of gifts.

Your true heart is like Santa Claus. Your heart is not happy unless it gives and gives more. Your heart wants nothing more than to give. And your heart wants to give everywhere, not just here and just there, but everywhere. Your heart doesn't want to give only to one country and not another. Your heart wants to give to all of My children everywhere.

Your heart doesn't wait for Christmas. Your heart gets your reindeer ready right now.

I feel indeed wonderful to have a God like You...and lonely too.
You stand as such height that only the bravest will reach and join with You.

dear Emilia,

Isn't God as far away or as near by as we think or feel ?

You are right.
My God stands very high.
Where am I...?

"I am as near to you as you are to Me" that is what said to me once. It is only us who seemingly go away, it is our awareness.

"Aim not so much for being nice or naughty. Aim for greater closeness to Me. There is nothing like it."

And this is why I love you more than I love Santa Claus, God.
Though it confuses me why you ask us to give more than just one country. That's too big a scope, and possibilities terrify me aplenty.

Dear Aplenty, I don't know

On January 4th, 2017 Gloria Wen... says:

Dear Aplenty, I don't know what you mean when you ask about more than one country? Perhaps you will explain? And thank you for posting!

I love you Gloria :) And I

On January 7th, 2017 Aplenty (not verified) says:

I love you Gloria :)

And I don't know how to answer your question. So I'll paraphrase what I said.

Countries are huge in size, and I am scared of the country I am in, that I dare not look at other countries.

Thank you for caring.

God said,
Your heart doesn't want to give only to one country and not another.

Dear Aplenty, I have more

On January 8th, 2017 Gloria Wen... says:

Dear Aplenty, I have more understanding of your question now. Let's make sure.

You are troubled by the country you live in so much that you don't dare go beyond your borders for fear you would be more troubled. Let me go back to the Heavenletter itself and bring it back here so I'm sure to have the complete context of what God is saying here, dear one. Hang on!

Okay: I'm going to highlight some lines that strike me as relevant to your question:

I'm not sure what are you

On January 10th, 2017 Aplenty (not verified) says:

I'm not sure what are you aiming by understanding my question, Gloria.

In my perspective, I'm just being narrow minded and making everything confusing by not reading this heavenletter properly. I can't quite read heavenletters properly, they get too personal sometimes it's hard. Sometimes there's nothing so hard as looking at things that really matter, or being with a god who really cares about you. It's not that I think I am undeserving, but everything's so confusing. Life is full of internal wars. While life is full of good things as well, sometimes it all gets so much that all I can do is tune out and stop caring.

Then a god here said they, he, or she cares. By this point, I stop understanding what caring is all about. I get that god loves us equally whenever however wherever. I get that god wants us to be happy. But I don't understand why god cares. I don't understand why a god would bother doing something I'm not doing myself, and that is caring.

And then the same god says, give more. More and more and more. Other countries, my own, just more. Give. Make it my aim to give. In my narrow minded understanding, god is asking for me to care. Care about the whole world, and everything that is beyond me.

My mother always taught me that, before you care about the world, you should first care about yourself, then your family. God doesn't settle for a little, god is asking for way more. And that confuses me.

Are you often confused about what god asks, Gloria?

Dear Aplenty, I suspect that

On January 13th, 2017 Gloria Wen... says:

Dear Aplenty, I suspect that a whole book could be written in response to your rich comment here.

I would like to tell you a true account of a lady who took a Godwriting workshop. She was a good friend of mine. She continued Godwriting yet wasn't confident that she was really Godwriting. Long after she had learned Godwriting, she called me on the phone. She had had a breakthrough!

She was Godwriting when, all of a sudden, God interrupted her.

God said: "Have no other Gods before Me."

It so happens she was a very religious person. She blurted out: "I have no other Gods before You!"

And then God answered: "Your intellect, Ruth. Your intellect."

Loving you, dear Aplenty

Your intellect

On January 14th, 2017 Rover (not verified) says:

I think I have read the Ruth episode elsewhere before, possibly on the blog. It's fantastic ... and easily forgotten. Thanks for bringing it up again.

Most certainly you have,

On January 15th, 2017 Gloria Wen... says:

Most certainly you have, dear Rover.

Warning: Below this you will read strange things.

On January 14th, 2017 Aplenty (not verified) says:

I love being lectured. Very, very much. A lecture once changed my entire social life. But nevertheless, I'm not one to accept lectures, or to adhere to the advice within. I love being scolded for my improvement, my parents never made me went through tense scolding moments. Nowadays, there's someone who lectures me from time to time. It is his birthday today, and he just lectured me half a day ago.

|

I talk to God from time to time. Not by godwriting, but simply talking. I sometimes write too, but I think too fast, and my hands often tremble when the words have a lot of feelings in it. I have severely deficient autobiographical memory, a lifelong inability to vividly recollect or re-experience personal past events from a first-person perspective. I never remember my conversations with God, and I always hated rereading anything I wrote in the past. I am often unable to personally relate to anything journal-like. I know for a fact that I do talk to God from time to time, but as soon as we finish talking, I'll forget. That's as guaranteed as a signed contract.

|

I have many, many other gods. My fear and insecurity are currently in the lead. I'm not going to try and change that any time soon. Weird as it sounds, I want to be with my insecurity. I want to accept it the way a God would accept me. It'll dissolve, return, fluctuate all the time. But it feels nice to be insecure. It feels real. It feels like me.

other gods

On January 15th, 2017 Rover (not verified) says:

Wow, you are on to something, Aplenty. Great.

How about giving God an okay

How about giving God an okay to free you?
