Gloria to God:

Dearest God, Sunshine has blood in his urine. He is constantly leaking or trying to. Please help Sunshine. I called the vet last night. He said not to worry and to bring in a urine sample this morning at ten. I feel I should have pushed for him to see Sunshine right then, and I just acquiesced to him. I could have insisted.

The vet wasn't concerned because Sunshine was eating well.

I'm also concerned about Lauren. She is so tense.

God:

Look to Sunshine's health and Lauren's well-being. The little fellow will be all right, and Lauren will make it through this time that is difficult for her.

And your heart will be stilled with joy and My peace. Your heart will be stilled and filled with My love. Right now you can feel My comfort.

Picture Lauren as the beauteous light in which she appeared to you when she had her surgery. That is Lauren. This dissenting body is not Lauren. Lauren is peace and calm and outpouring of love. Lauren is light and ease.

And you are a pier, strong and still. You are the mooring place.

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 327:
"I need but call and You will answer me…Your Word is one with You. You give the means whereby conviction comes, and surety of Your abiding Love is gained at last."

Gloria:

So, here comes my doubt, dear God. I know You are. I know that. And yet I think, forgive me, I am here judging You because Sunshine is sick, Lauren tense, and I am frightened.

God:

Doubt says to you: "God doesn't care. He has bigger things to think about. Well, is He healing Sunshine? Is Lauren happy? Are you this mooring place He spoke of?"

And you mumble: "If I am not with God, there is nothing. If He doesn't help me, what can avail?"

Doubt says, "People are sick. They die despite the many prayers to God and His promises. God promises eternal life — where is it? Somewhere else in a fantasy land called Heaven. This is fake."

And I say: Gloria, you project your fear. Whether Sunshine's body lives or dies, his precious soul is forever. All this world is manifestation. It is the movie. In the movie, bodies fall; dreams are shattered. The manifestation changes, but nothing real is destroyed. Energy does not die or get lost. It is exchanged.

This play on earth is about energy changing. It is about change. The manifestation changes, but Our connected hearts are immutable. You can close your eyes to Me, but I will never leave, and you cannot leave your Source, try as you may.

Through anything, I am with you. Through your body's death, I am with you. I assure you that Sunshine's soul will be placed in My arms when the time comes for him to leave his little body, but the time is not now.

And while Sunshine's body breathes on earth, his precious soul is also in My arms.

Who has carried him all this time on earth?

Now, this is what to say to doubt:

"You are a loser, and you can't fool me and dissuade me from truth. You are nothing but my imagination and my loose fears given a name.

"God is my God, and you cannot possibly vanquish Him or remove Him from my eyes. Doubt, you are a weak-bellied thing, and I will NOT have you in my life, diverting me from truth.

"Doubt, you are a scoundrel, and I erase you. Leave this house. I stomp on you. You are an imitation of terror. You are a skulking foreign agent, and I tell you to go away.

"God is here, and God loves me and all who pace the earth. I am true to God and not to you. I know where my heart resides.

"I have churned through many lifetimes, and God has been steady. Whatever the foment, God has held the oars. He is the steerer of my destiny, and He sees the shore where it lies though I may not. I trust in Him Who steers the boat, and I do not pay mind to the lashing of the waves.

"Whatever befalls in this cardboard manifestation of life, the Mind that created me creates me still."

Gloria:

Dear God, You are a Wonder. I feel that this morning has been like my little Job story, and it is I who have argued with the devil, not You, who has debated anything with him because he does not exist except as fragments of my fear and tension imitating me. Doubt is the devil's stooge. I saw a big shadow and thought it was real.

God:

You manifested fear and doubt, and you manifested trust and knowledge as well. And you are an inviolable manifestation of My love, and you are as close to Me as that little Ginger is close to you. She is pressed against you and rests her head on your thigh, and she knows that I, God, am here, revealed in you.

Gloria to Mother Divine:

Dear Mother Divine, what would you like to tell me?

Mother Divine:

How different everything seems to you when you see God as your basis! What changed but your attention? Attend to God, and all else follows. Attend to His Name. Attend to His love.

Consider life a radio. What station do you turn to? There are stations on the dial marked Distraction, Doubt, Forgetfulness, Terror, and God. Sometimes the station for God is called Joy, Peace, Harmony, Angel, Heaven, but it is one station. You can tune in to any station you wish. Simply turn the dial. Turn the dial to God and open your heart, and await for the music of God's love.

Later…

Gloria to God:

Dear God, that blessed Karen called me again. I feel so fortunate. An angel in the flesh came into my life. A very nice gift from You, dear Father.

God:

A gift to Myself, as always.

Gloria:

Karen is working on healing Sunshine. How do I ever thank her for that?

God:

By loving others, and doing for them as Karen does for you, as much as you are able. And each time, it is another connection to Me, and I am enjoined by more of My children, and I reap all the rewards that are given.
