God Loved You into Existence

God said:

There is much uncertainty in life. But of what I say, you can be certain.

You may say that there is also a question of interpretation. Someone else may interpret My words differently. Don’t interpret My words then. Just listen. Let the Truth enter your mind and heart whether you understand them or not. I come from the place before words. Words have a vibration. My words have the vibration of Truth. Close to the Source are the words that come from Me Who is your Source.

I tell you that I will never fail you, and yet you feel I have let you down. You feel I have not made things quite right for you. You feel I may have thrown nuts and bolts in your way, that I have scattered debris that you will trip over again and again. Whose decision is it that you trip? Not Mine. But, listen, do not ever think that I wash My hands of you, or abandon you, or let you down. You want something, and you don’t receive it. Want something else then.

When you lose a loved one, consider that there is a blessing in it. You may not see a blessing. A blessing does not have to be visible to you. Nevertheless, it is there. It may be a blessing for another, yet a blessing for another is also a blessing for you. You do not have to understand. You have to go forward. That is a commandment I give. Go forward. See far, and hop to it.

Do not underestimate yourself, and do not underestimate Me. Refrain from second-guessing yourself, and refrain from second-guessing Me. I do not see amiss. If you do not yet see the Vastness that I do see, correct yourself. Take Me at My word. My word is Love. My existence is Love. And you are My love. You are the love of My choice. I accept you gladly and wholeheartedly. Will you accept Me?

It has been said that in the Earth world, there is no perfection. Do not believe that. There is perfection. Have you never looked at the stars? Have you never looked into eyes? Have you never seen a baby? Have you never looked into the palm of your hand?
And I am telling you that you also are perfection. Nothing prevents you from being in the perfect image from which you were made. You were not made from a cookie-cutter. I molded each of you by hand. I made you thus and so. I made someone else thus and so. I never got bored. I never lost My place. I loved you into existence. Every single person on Earth I made with love, the love from My heart.

Beloveds, you see obstacles. I don’t see obstacles. Obstacles are ideas in your head. All the obstacles you see are not there. When you cannot go one way, then go another.

There are no problems. How well you see problems. Problems in the world are a hobby. They are no more than a hobby. You attribute whatever you attribute to being a problem and so you engage in solving it. If you accepted that there were not problems, what would you solve? What would you do with yourself? What would occupy you? What hobby would you take up then?

Seek forth blessings from now on. Be a fine collector of blessings. Solve yourself with blessings. Store them in your heart. This is the way to go. I bless you. Now know you are blessed. Know that I embrace you with blessings.

You are blessed. As you think of your blessings, they multiply. This is how you become more blessed. This is how you become bless-ed.

lift your feet

How endearing a routine and somewhat tired Heavenletter like this one can be. There is no doubt to me any more that even God can only be truly God and at His best when I – we, all – return to remembrance and recognition of Our oneness. He is limping just a little so I may know ... what?

Torn between deep and inescapable loyalty to the source of Heavenletters and a painfully acute sense of a certain ... evasiveness when reading some of them, I have been desperate and at a loss at times. Even thinking I had to leave Heavenletters. Thus, I find this Heavenletter rather schoolmasterly, giving double messages, trying to be positive while stressing shortcomings. I have often wondered, How can God talk tis way — God!? I have oftem said to myself: My God does not talk this way, whoever talks this way can't be God.

Today it opens up. If God is giving me freedom as he so often emphasizes he does, he must be also giving me the wisdom and resources necessary for handling this freedom (there's really no giving, but let's call it giving). He is waiting for me to stop wanting to be saved. He is waiting for me to drop my sense of helplessness and to simply start walking, joining him in partnership - - in love - - in oneness.
 
Wait for no man. And wait for no God to deliver you. Deliver yourself. Deliver Me.
 
I am giving you over to yourself. Your life is yours. You are Mine, but you are the decider of the course of your life. Choose a direction, and set forth in it. I am before you, egging you on. I am egging you on right now. I follow you and I lead you at the same time. Take responsibility for your life. Have Me as your Counsel. Listen to Me, but listening of itself is not all that you do. Listen and lift your feet.

I'm aware that you may be reading this Heavenletter and others in a very different way. That's wonderful. I love and honor every point of view that does not claim to be the only or the better one. Not interpreting as this Heavenletters recommends is certainly best. But being struck by something is not really avoidable, and why should it be avoided? In the end, after some griping, I am grateful for the teaching I find in this Heavenletter. I have often found that protesting can lead me to deeper agreement. And when I portray God as limping, I'm not out to provoke or offend. I sit in front of this screen trying to feel what it is I need to say. And when the image comes, I know it is from my heart.

Dearest Jochen

You give expression to what many of us feel knowingly or unknowingly...I Love Your honesty.

Love to you and your loved ones,
Nancy


Thank you, Nancy, and thank

Thank you, Nancy, and thank you for you.

I am blessed.

I am blessed because I have my hands and my feet and my eyes and my heart. My hands to hold things and shake hands with you; my feet to go places and kiss the earth with my footsteps; my eyes to see things and see your kind face...and my heart to love you...to always love you. Jim and Jimi.

Just

I just wish to greet everyone of You.
Gloria, near to my heart, many blessings my dear. Always beautiful Letters.

Existence

This HL is very comforting and in some way it still scares me a little. What God calls blessings sometimes seems like a nightmare in my experience.

But I feel BLESSED in the widest sense because I have gained the subtle awareness of "HIM" and that's ALL I really need in reality. And God says that it's ALL that IS REAL!

I am imagining that I was loved into existence by God!! Blows me away to Blissdom!

Light and love,
Johanne

Beloved Johanne, I love the

Beloved Johanne, I love the expression Blissdom that you use! Yes, let's be blown away to Blissdom!

What is true humility?

This Heavenletter tackles many ideas at the same time: interpretation, being failed, blessings in loss, self underestimation, perfection, perception of obstacles and problems, seeking for blessings. It is almost a potpourri of different Heavenetters. I try to figure out what is the one message that synthesizes this Heavenletter, including its title.

And I come with an additional theme as if there were not enough already in this HL. This theme is humility. The underlying idea of this HL seems to be that the salvation of the world depends on me while I think I am more a victim of the outside world and of God Himself: "You feel I may have thrown nuts and bolts in your way, that I have scattered debris that you will trip over again and again. Whose decision is it that you trip? Not Mine.". Do I like this responsibility? Because it seems like a task that I did not choose. True humility then must offer my acceptance of a part assigned to me without insisting on another role I would prefer to play. It is like if I am fighting my function because I did not establish it myself. It seems it was not MY idea.

I feel God wants to say (this is one of many interpretations of this HL) that He still remembers me (even if I don't really remember Him yet) and offers me the perfect trust He holds in me who is His son. I should not doubt my adequacy for the function. He will offer me. He knows better than I what I can accomplish in this world. I am arrogant if I don't trust what He says I am. I have to hold trust in Him as He holds trust in me.

My problems of interpretation of underestimation, perfection, perception of obstacles, etc. must lie in my reluctance to accept His plan that I did not make. If God assures me that the salvation of the world depends on me, I can be sure that it is so: "Don’t interpret My words then. Just listen. Let the Truth enter your mind and heart whether you understand them or not."

But, of course, sometimes I must cling to words — just a matter of being a little arrogant or rebel once in a while — afraid to go beyond them to experience which might challenge their stance.

God insures me, since I was loved into existence by Him, that I have the strength, the wisdom and the holiness to go beyond all images. I am not weak as is the image of myself. But as He speaks, this image of myself trembles and almost seem to attack what it feels like a threat it does not know, sensing its base crumble.

Humility is this acceptance. And my self image just disintegrates into dust. And this is a blessing.

I like this one, Normand,

I like this one, Normand, most of all because it is about you. And so quiet, one can almost hear the "base crumble" as it will and does for all of us, if only for the part that is called ego.

The "humble vs. arrogant" dichotomy is one that has been puzzling me too. I have found a simple reassuring formula for myself. "For arrogant to be arrogant it has to feel arrogant." I simply know when I'm being arrogant (well, maybe a minute later, but I will know) and when I am not. I will not accept that epithet when I don't feel arrogant, and although this may not be the ultimate gold standard, we all need to have something convincing. "Basta!" has never been convincing to me and neither has authority unless I unmistakably recognized it.

A very stimulating Heavenletter, isn't it?

Can ego be anything else

Can ego be anything else but arrogant? If it was not, it couldn't exist. If it is not arrogant, then it comes from somewhere else.

arrogance

It is arrogant especially in its alleged self proclaimed humility.

Correct!

Correct!

I nerver put definitions

I nerver put definitions before feeling. I couldn't even if I wanted to.

Even if ego were arrogant by definition (whose definition?), every action, every thought, every statement is a mixture of ego and non-ego ingredients.

Can't be feelings also

Can't be feelings also another variety of definition? Which is better: the tail or the head?

My response is a general

My response is a general response, and does not in any way refer to your comment, beloved Normand. Yours just happens to be the last comment, and I am writing in the next empty box!

The high school I went to had a motto. I never liked it. It was kind of icky. I thought there were many better quotations that could have been chosen. In several places around the school, in one place etched on the building, as I remember, was this motto: (Of course, I don't remember the exact words or who said it.)

"Never do that which if everyone did it would harm society." The point is: "If everyone did it."

I am wondering what the purpose of this forum is. What is our responsibility? Do we have a responsibility?

Certainly, the forum is for self-expression and honesty, and yet is not the forum for more than that as well?

God lays His heart bare for us every day.

We don't have to agree with everything. Certainly, we're not going to understand everything He says. Is this forum about agreeing or disagreeing with God?

Are we not also about appreciation and a desire to uplift others?

Unless we are benefiting others, can we be benefiting ourselves?

Dear Gloria, Appreciation

Dear Gloria,

Appreciation and the desire to uplift is obviously an important topic for you, and I agree it really is important. I even believe it is what ultimately motivates all of us, even if there may not be a universally accepted understanding of what exactly constitutes appreciation and upliftment.

What I do not understand is why what you want to say about this is all questions. Is there more? Is there something you want to say that has no question mark? Or is it for me to somehow guess what it is? Are you saying that appreciation, the desire to benefit and what you call "more than that" are not happening here or not to a sufficient degree? With only questions, I'm lost and may even be grossly misinterpreting your intent. Could you somehow make it a little clearer for me?

Here is what I am trying to

Here is what I am trying to say, beloved soul:

You have been with Heavenletters a long time, and you have also served Heavenletters a long time. You have been like a grandfather to many of the readers on the forum. And to me.

I say grandfather, because of your wisdom and love. You have from the beginning set an inspiring tone. You have been such an example of love and wisdom. You have heartened hearts, including mine. You have led the way.

Another way to say what I feel is that for years and years you have come from a high vibration. I miss upliftment from you, Jochen. I miss it very much.

Uplift is important for

Uplift is important for everyone of us. The rest are words.
I find every more words in this site and my sensation is empty.

Blessings to all

Dear Pitta, your emphasis on

Dear Pitta, your emphasis on upliftment is adorable. Having known you from your first day on this forum, I am not speaking lightly.

It is more than a little painful for me to see you resort to downright judgment now. Well, only for a moment, I'm sure.

Why is it judgment for Pitta

Why is it judgment for Pitta to say what she feels?

Because "uplift", although

Because "uplift", although quite clear in a general sense, has different shades of meaning for different people. If what someone says from the bottom of their heart does not fill my notion of or need for upliftment and I proceed to qualify their heartfelt words as "just words", that is a judgment even if it is what I feel that moment. I am not holding it agains Pitta at all. I know her lovely soul and I know we are all doing it at times.

This is the most sacred space on earth, it's a mystery to me how any of us could stomp around in it with only our needs and notions in mind instead of standing in awe and loving respect before the rainbow of the human heart. It's a mystery but, thank God, we can leave it to God.

My dear brother, you can

My dear brother, you can see, I'm not judging, not at all. Much less everyone here on the forum.
I'm simply observing it is much time that, after even Heaveletter, I find rivers of words.
It my my fault: I don't want to read the long disquisitions about opinions after opinions between two, three persons. I say again: it is my fault, but I can't find this much intersting. But it is irrefutable everyone can say what he wants without judge, so I too.
You have to uderstand me, my friend, my English is not so weel, you know, and I drink God's words like no others.
I hope I could cheer you.
Blessings

Beloved Pitta, it is not

Beloved Pitta, it is not true that everyone can say what they want to here on this forum. And you have nothing to apologize for.

Dear Heaven scribe, I still

Dear Heaven scribe, I still don't understand your last paragraph.

Here is what it could mean from where I'm standing:

  • For years and years I have come from a high vibration, and since there is never enough of it, you are always looking forward to more of it. (From what you wrote above, this is not very likely.)
  • For years and years I have come from a high vibration but I have stopped coming from that high vibration and now I am coming from a low vibration and should switch back to high vibration.

Will you  p l e a s e  say what you want to express. This is not a game.

I would love the old Jochen

I would love the old Jochen who inspired me to come back when he spoke of what he liked instead of what he didn't like. It grieves me to hear a Heavenletter called tired and God limping etc., especially from you, dear friend. Yes, this forum is meant to uplift, not to depress. You are a powerful person here, and you influence many. Does self-expression come before responsibility?

Most decidedly

Most decidedly self-expression does not come before responsibility, dear one. But first thank you for finally saying what there is to say. It is crucially important for you, for me, for many or all of us.

I am always writing to uplift, always happy when there is evidence of someone not feeling alone so much any more when reading my words. Usually I feel deeply inspired when I write, words and images bubbling up from a place of stillness that is only active and productive when you listen breathlessly, listening through the hurly-burly of your own thoughts. No, I don't mean to say I'm a prophet. But I'm writing with the best of intentions, and in most cases I feel a deep sense of go-ahead from I don't know where.

We all know we cannot expect that another will appreciate what we have to say or will understand. We have our ideas of what is positive and what is negative or what is a decent way of talking about God and so on, and while there may be things that are really difficult to understand, most of the time we simply don't want to because some of our criteria aren't met.

Please don't think I'm criticizing you, but you have not read my comment yet. I will look over it tomorrow and maybe make a second one.

But do you realize what it means to call someone irresponsible? Not wanting to join in the question game, let me tell you that no one is knowledgeable enough to do that. More accurately, I wish you had not done it or that we could at least forget about it this very moment.

responsability

Self expression ( not ego expression) comes far before everthing else. In fact, through self expression, self understanding and self observation we come to know ourselves. God is teaching us to express ourselves in freedom and respect for all, He says we owe nothing to anyone and anyone owe nothing to us. Artists, poets, literates, great minds, great ones were not bothered by the concern of being responsable toward society ( society is just a slow dull elephant) , they just wanted to be faithful to their inspiration and true to themselves and thus to others. We “uplift” by embodying all the qualities of Being, not just by uttering empty words. We are responsable only for our own state of consciousness. And you take great responsability for this, Jochen, your commitment is absolute.

I know I do, dear heart. You

I know I do, dear heart. You wrote a fine comment. Trying to explain the "responsibility" part: I'm not an artist or anyone else with an urgent need to express. Although liking to respond, I have no need to express, but when I do, my heart beats for all and everything. That is why I say "responsibility first". I do not like the word at all, but it can have a limited usefulness when we don't take the degenerated meaning it has acquired and stick with only the "response" part.

In the context of this

In the context of this forum, you are absolutely right, dear Emilia and Jochen. We assume the consequences of what we write. We are not in a Kindergarten. As long as we don't intend to harm people, grossly or subtly, we express freely what Heavenletters inspire us: not only uplifting, but positively downlifting when we have to take a step back to rebounce (as you did say in you way, Jochen) . Trying to be "too careful" is equivalent to be careless.

And comments are comments. Some people like one word only. Some few more. Some a lot more. Some just like to say that nothing more has to be said. Let's applaud diversity in this forum. And every one has the choice to skip what they don't feel like reading. It is like a newspaper or a magazine. Just choose the section you like and forget the rest.

And, as long as it does not serve the purpose of one's comment, I agree with Gloria in saying: let's focus on what we like and forget what we don't like.

Wow.

Wow.

Formally, yes.

Formally, yes. Experientially or subjectively, no. You are right, though, there is no better in any objective sense. All our criteria are only preference in the end. We stick with what makes sense to us and that can be different for everyone. I like it that way. Acceptance, not necessarily agreement, is key. And sometimes we find someone else's point of view surprisingly convincing and enriching.

Everyone, please read the

Everyone, please read the guidelines and follow them.

What we call ego can

What we call ego can surrender. It can become devoted. It bows down and produces less shadow.
