Nancy L. to Gloria:

What an incredible message I got from God. (The one about how I felt unloved by my father). I really don't know how to say thank you properly. It means so much to me to be able to get Heavenletters. And when I get ones for me, they are especially precious.

My love for God is growing by the day as I read the inspiring words and great wisdom that come from Heavenletters and everyone's life challenges.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

God:

Everyone's life challenges are your own.

Gloria:

Dear God, this morning's emails are simply gone from the screen. I cannot find them. And I get frustrated as usual.

God:

This is an example of want vs. desire. Your wanting is so impatient. Just desire your emails, and ask the senders to send them again, and you will have them back. Easy desire, Gloria, and then let go.

What does impatience do for you but frazzle. Sometimes I think you like to be frazzled. Like frustration is your axe to grind. Like you want to prove the computer your foe so you have an excuse to be angry when all the while the computer is a simple servant that does the best it can do.

The lost emails may be no fault of yours and no fault of the computer. Because something is not in your control doesn't mean that you are inadequate or unworthy. It means that something got lost somewhere in the computer. Unknown error. Don't take it so hard. It is the same as spilt milk.

Just go on. Or stop a while. Jump on your trampoline. Drink some herb tea. Or sit in reverie with Me a while.

Did you ever see Me jump up and down in frustration? So then why should My children? Sometimes My children dance around like characters in Charlie Chaplin silent movies. You can do that if you want to, but why want to? Be like a swan moving through ripples on a lake.

Gloria:

Dear God, Karen says many things that make me stop in my tracks. Yesterday she said: "We're thinking all the time instead of having faith." So, God, then faith is absence of thought?

God:

Faith is of the heart. Certainly not of the mind. Thinking of reasons why faith is admirable doesn't give you faith. Anyway My children spend much of their time thinking of reasons why faith is foolish.

In thinking, you try to figure out. You try to figure out the unfigurable. Your mind cannot take great leaps, but the heart can. The heart does. The heart doesn't know distance. The heart is out of logic. The heart is in reality.

Faith cannot be figured out.

Do you remember I said that when you are on the road of My Will, you have no choices to make? If one were close to Heaven and knew it, who would turn away? Faith is knowing where you are.

Faith is not a risk. It is a certainty.

It is like a blood-type. You are what you are. If you are blood type-O, you are whether you are aware of it or not. But when you are aware of it, it is known.

You are My child, My blessed beloved child. You are My love. You are what I have made. But you don't quite believe that yet. You don't believe you are My creation even though you unquestionably are. You have doubt as to who you are. You think you must have made yourself. You think there is nothing but you, and God is only an idea. In truth, you are an idea. You are My idea. Faith is when that dawns on you. You are irrevocably and undeniably Mine.

There is no cliff to jump over. You are already over! You never had to jump except in your mind. You were always over.

Faith is when you open up to My light, and whisper, "Yes, God is there. God is here. God is everywhere. God is My Father, My Teacher, My Friend, and My God is all mighty."

I am blurry to many of My children. To many, I am an hypothesis. I am a wish. I am a hope. But wishes and hopes are like only the buttonholes of My coat.

I am Faith.

Walk in My steps.

Follow Me.

You may not see, but I see.

Faith is knowing I am.

Faith is knowing I see.

Faith is knowing I love.

When you know these, thoughts become insignificant.

Who can think when he is dazzled by My light?

Who can think when he is spinning to catch up with Me?

You have all had moments when you were not thinking.

You have all had moments when you were pure being.

Thinking is doing.

Being is being.

So be with Me. Be with Me. Be.

Remove your conceptions. They are misconeived.

Be with Me.

As you are.

Not as something you strive to be.

Just as you are, for you are My beloved, and there is nothing to strive for.

Surrender is knowing there is nothing to surrender.

There is only I and you. God and you. Melded together as One.

Let Us be the One thought, the One idea.

Faith is not far away from you.

It is not in the sky.

It is not somewhere else.

Those like Karen who have total faith, total closeness with Me, total adherence to Me, stopped fussing.

They let life be simple. One choice is simple.

Open your eyes and look for Me.

Look up because looking up gets you out of thought.

You look up and let Me look you straight in the eye and pierce you to the heart.

Faith is just getting out of old thinking. Old thinking is in your way. Think anew. Clear the slate.

And let the cream rise to the top.

The cream is Faith.

Here I am.

Here are We.

You and I.

One.

That is you plural.

All of you are One as well.

More of that tomorrow.

Love, God
