Gloria to God:

Dear Father in Heaven, what would You like to say this morning?

God:

When old baggage is breathed out, a vacuum is created to make room for new blessings. For a little while, until that gap fills itself in, you may experience an uneasiness, and you wonder what's going on.

For no reason, it seems that much of the joy of life has vanished, and you are left with a vacancy.

This uneasiness is a pointer to growth.

It is not necessary to feel this rockiness, but when you do, know that your consciousness is rising to a new height, and you have to go with it.

When there is a circumstance that you can attribute uneasiness to, you do. When the uneasiness cannot be attributed to something outside you, you are baffled and feel fractured.

This is a good time to ask Me for help, and here's how you do it:

"Dear Almighty Father, I feel like I have gone backwards, and I wonder what is the matter. Food does not taste good anymore. I don't know what to look forward to, and I don't know how this has happened. My life and its surrounds are good. It seems to be me all by myself who going through a hard time. If ever I needed your help, I need it now.

"I want to feel closer to You. Right now I don't know if I feel close to You at all. It is like love has gone out of my heart. I guess I have been getting used to high's, and now I feel low. Will You please guide me back to Your light? help me to feel Your love again, and be renewed to further Your Will.

"I know You do not abandon. Yet right now I feel in the dark and ask You to help me open my eyes, for it is You I want to see, for it is You I want to know, and for it is You I want to be.

"Will You fill my imagined emptiness with Your light? Will You help me draw closer to You? Will You renew me with Your strength, and fill my heart again with joy?"

Now We sit in silence for a little while as I embrace you. As I embrace one, I embrace all.

Lift up your eyes to Me, and be not afraid. You are My worth. You cannot be unworthy. You cannot be unworthy. You cannot fail Me. You cannot fail Me.

How freeing are those two lines. Say them:

"I cannot be unworthy. I cannot fail You, God."

Sew those words into your heart. Print them on your forehead.

What pomposity, My dear Gloria, to think for a moment that you can be less than I made you, less than I say, less than you are.

What arrogance to consider for even a moment that you can fail Me. That is like saying I could fail you. It is My will that you succeed, so any other thought is preposterous.

When your ship has sailed into the doldrums, sail it out again.

When you find yourself looking at your feet, look up to the Heavens.

When you seem to be falling, say My Name and hold it in your heart.

When you seem to feel lost, turn to Me, for I am your Servant and will take you Home.

All is well in the Kingdom of Heaven.

All is well with you. Leave off imaginings. Remember Who you are and Where you and Why you are and Whose you are, for you are My rose, and I planted you in the Garden of Eden, and you cannot ever be less than the rose I planted.

Be the rose you are and don't get caught up in success.

Get caught up in My love, and stay there.

You are attaching to the world effects again, and you cannot do that anymore.

Just keep your eyes on My Will and forget what the world says or what this one says or that one says, and remember what I say.

Listen to the Heart of God. Listen for My love as it pours over you. You are so immersed in My love that you are neglecting to see it.

It is here. My love is here, not there. It is there, too, but it here that you will find it.

Drag your heart over here, and leave it with Me to assuage and refill. It will take a moment, and it is done.

Mother Divine:

All flowers are equal in God's garden. There is no center. There is no corner. There is no edge. All are equal in God's garden.

Daisies are equal to roses. All is valuable. Nothing is judged less.

This could not be otherwise because it is God's garden. He tends this garden. His love is so great, He tends every leaf with such care that all the flowers know they are one garden and one love of God's.

See with God's eyes, and love yourself, for you are in God's garden, surrounded by God and His angels and all the flowers in His One Garden.

When you look at the roses in your garden, Gloria, you say: "I like the red roses better. No, I like the white ones. I like this variety over here more than that variety over there." All the energy you expend on comparisons!

God makes no comparisons. He cannot love one rose more than another because He never loves less.

Do not second-guess God and ever think that you can be anything but the love of His life.

Oh, how ungrateful that would be, and you would never do that. You would never be ungrateful to God, so be grateful for yourself, and that is His Will.
