Gloria to God:

Dear God, someone said some things to me yesterday that made me wonder. This is from a strong Heavenreader. In regard to yesterday's HEAVEN, she said to me: "Ask yourself why You want to share your candy?" and inserted: "Why do you want to share Heavenletters? Is it because you want to share from fullness of heart or to make a better picture of yourself?" And she also said, "Maybe HEAVEN is just supposed to stay small."

Dear God, I do not know how to deal with mixed messages. I like this person very much, but how could she say those things in one breath and love Heavenletters so much in the other? Is this person really for the success of Heavenletters, or what is it?

I have believed that HEAVEN is Your Will, dear God. Communicating with You has been the most rewarding experience in my life. Sharing You has been wonderful and also enormously ego-crunching. I can't believe I would be doing this for me.

As for Heavenletters' growth, it's growing, and those who love it love it very much.

God:

Well, Gloria, your friend has mixed feelings. Right now this person is going through personal upheaval and is seeing things through discouraged eyes.

She believes your ego is into this, for her ego is hurting.

You and I have worked hard to keep your ego out of this. We have worked hard to dispense with it altogether. We are gaining, and HEAVEN is gaining.

Tell your friend if she has questions about you or HEAVEN to bring them to Me. I am the Author.

Gloria:

Thank You.

God, I feel I have been so supportive of this person.

God:

Well, Gloria, now that is ego!

Gloria:

May I say one more thing? You said, in yesterday's Heavenletters, not to ask the question, "What is your purpose?" of others, only to your own self.

God:

Now it is very clear to you and Heavenreaders why that is so.

Gloria:

I feel perhaps I'm taking advantage by airing this here.

God:

Every human has the experience of giving or receiving double messages.

Just be truthful. Say: "When you say things like that, I feel bad, and I wonder where you're coming from."

Gloria:

How come I don't already know how to deal with this sort of thing?

God:

Because you learned instead not to acknowledge what you are feeling, even to yourself.

Gloria:

What would You really like to talk about this morning, dear God?

God:

Dream big dreams for Heavenletters.

Go in the direction you are moving and don't look back.

Don't look to the sides.

An arrow shoots and does not question its route along the way.

Be an arrow.

Just keep going. Straight ahead.

Brambles don't matter to an arrow.

The arrow has its straight course and follows it.

Do not mind other arrows or what someone says.

Keep your eye shining on where you are going.

Heavenletters is to bring more hearts to happiness, and, therefore, to Me.

Don't let your heart drag.

Pay attention to My heart.

Heavenletters will reach every corner of the world. It will take many hearts with it. It will roll across the universe like new grass.

From it, new flowers will grow.

Soon, all there will be is Heaven.

The Elysian fields will cover the earth.

Happiness will be the norm.

Continued happiness will be the menu of the day.

Earth will be called Mirth. Starlight will cover Mirth, and eyes will sparkle like the stars.

Who will think anything of past hurts or even remember them?

Walk into a new world of Big Dreams, and take your pick.

I offer them to you. Will you accept?

Care about what I say, and not what someone else says.

Look to Me for counsel, and then take My advice.

Keep your eyes upward, and all else will follow.

You are the tail of My kite, and We sail Heavenward together.

Love holds us together. The sky is love. Love flows through love.

Believe Me, all there is is love. And it is yours without any effort.

The sky is blue, and love is true, and I live in you.

I am your mainstay.

I am your spine and your limbs.

I am your mover and your destination.

You come with Me. Come with Me now. Why wait?

What could you be waiting for?

Gloria:

Dear God, last night I visited a lady who is content! It seemed remarkable to be in the company of someone who is content!

It was almost like visiting another planet.

Just about everybody I know is not content.

God:

Life is a spiral up.

Bless those who are content and those who are discontent, for they all turn the same corners.

Gloria:

I don't think I've ever been content in my whole life.

God:

You have not.

You don't have to be content, but be grateful. That is good enough.
