Gloria to God:

Dear God, it went through my mind during the night and in the morning as I was waking up: "I want to do God's Will, serve Him, feel His desires." It made me happy to have that thought, and so strongly.

God:

As it does Me.

Gloria:

Does this mean that now I will?

God:

What did Christ tell you? What do you think?

Gloria:

That I will. That You will guide me every moment.

God:

Yes.

Gloria:

So far I don't see a difference in me or my life, dear God.

God:

You don't have to. But you will.

Gloria:

What else would You like to say to me, dear Father?

God:

You don't understand how you serve Me. You think it is a dramatic thing, that suddenly you will be different.

It means that you will be more conscious of serving Me. You will want to do My Will. You will think of it more.

In every tiny situation in your life, you will think with love: "How do I reveal God's love here?" You will ask yourself, not Me. In big things, what you think are big, you can ask Me.

Serving Me has to do with your living your life, not giving it up. It is an intention to serve and represent Me. It is from deep within you, and you are answering My call.

You say, "Let me be a tray for You, God. Put on me what You will, and I will be willingly carried where You will."

The truth is, dear Gloria, you have all your life been carried mostly where I will. Now detours are over. Some selfishness is over.

You have surrendered. With surrender — true surrender, not will to surrender — you gain power, speed — and peace, love, and joy, of course.

You are on a direct path now. Straight as an arrow are you.

Mainly, in every interaction, you reveal Me. You share My light. Some little token of My existence you leave in another's heart.

And, of course, you continue with HEAVEN. Believe in it, Gloria. Don't be shaken because of an editor or first reader at a publishing company.

Adopt My perseverance and steadiness and My sure knowledge that all is before Us, and all is just right in this moment of Eternity.

Gloria to Mother Divine:

Dear Mother Divine, things are better between Lauren and me now.

Mother Divine:

I knew they would be. I also know your heart. And that is enough to know, the trueness and simplicity of heart.

All hearts are God's. On loan, so to speak. Borrowed. Freely given. Free. No fees. No dues.

"Here is My heart," God said. "Take it. Now use it. Do as you will with My heart of love."

And when you let it be God's heart, you are happy. When you dam it up, it tightens, and love is withheld.

So hearts are to be opened, wide open, and life is lived in the fullness of God's glory, which is God's large gift to you. His magnificence He gives to you in trust and love. God's big love. Entrusted to you, God's heart is in your hands. God is in your hands. Your hands are God's as well. Whatever talent they hold is God's. Whatever love, it is God's. All is God's.

Gloria to God:

So, dear God, what would You like to tell me?

God:

Ask yourself today, "What do I will?" Answer for me.

Gloria:

Today I want to tidy my house, make a delicious meal for Harvey and his family, have a good time, give a good time, keep up with typing, and stir love in all hearts.

God:

What else would you like to have happen today?

Gloria:

I would love to hear from Louise Hay, Karen, and from Sandy who is talking to Karen today, and Mary Alice the same. I would like to know that their paths are easier.

I would like Lauren and I to enjoy each other. I would like our puppies, Sunny and Ginger, to be well-behaved and make life easy for us when we have company.

I would like my heart to be light in Your love, and to feel this was a day well-spent with You, dear God.

God:

And so it shall. You ask for what I also want, so how can it be otherwise?

Your sense of day will be full. I do not promise that all those calls will be made to you today, but it will be as if they were. Your heart will be full, and you will receive all blessings as on the wings of angels, straight to your heart.

Later…

Gloria to Mother Mary:

Dear Mother Mary, what would you like to tell me tonight?

Mother Mary:

Know that God usually delivers a step at a time. One flower at a time, and then suddenly, you have a dozen roses and then many bouquets surrounding you and filling up your life with sweetness. That is how God delivers.

And that is one reason why it is good to be grateful for each tiny blessing as it appears. Your gracious thanking ushers in more, and then more, until you know nothing but blessings, and your whole life is a blessing. You live in a bower, and everywhere you look, flowers, flowers, and flowers. Blossoms outside you, and blossoming with in. And the world becomes a many-petaled flower. The world becomes your heart, and your heart beats the gong of the universe, and all is in tune with your heart and flows in and out of it, and you resuscitate the world.

The world becomes your flower to pick. Whatever you pick is sweet and a blessing to your heart. All, everything, everyone, a blessing to you, dear Gloria, as you fulfill your part as a blessing to all.

And with that, accept my blessings to you, a representative of all children.

Gloria:

Dear God, do You wish to say something?

God:

I wish to second Mother Mary's blessings, so now you know you are doubly blessed, once by Mary, once more by Me. Two heavenly blessings are worth the whole world's gold. Two heavenly blessings rest lightly on your shoulders. Our blessings take any weight off your shoulders. Our blessings are like time-release capsules, and our blessings last forever and again and more. Know you are blessed twofold and tenfold and a thousandfold. You are blessed.
