Julie to Diane:

Dearest Diane, I am a Heavenreader but I haven't written to you before. I have felt inadequate in the face of your grief. I am a mother also, and know the bond that God places between us and our children. The hardest task I face is turning over care of these beings of my heart to God (as if I could do better!). I am just afraid of what "better" might be. I am well aware that there is pain involved.

So, dear one, today I write you to thank you for all the glory that has come from you and Molly, all the sweetness and the unity. In your search for happiness without Molly's physical presence, you help us all in our individual searches.

Thank you for being brave enough to share you sorrow, your joy, and your journey, and your beautiful daughter.

In God's Love, Julie

God to Julie:

The key word you used is sharing, Julie. And what is sharing but giving? And Diane shares the truth and depth of her heart. She opens her heart. She does not try to mask it or prettify it, and, as a result, she beautifies the world. How egoless is sharing. Sharing does not bother about what someone else might think. It does not hold on to an idea or an impression or a persona. It is the giving away of truth, therefore, washing away of illusion. And truth heals.

Diane's honest and forthright heart heals itself and other hearts. Diane's heart does not veer from truth. It does not hesitate from the truth. It honors the truth.

And Molly's spirit did indeed tell Diane more truth.

Gloria:

Dear God, I have been asking bounded questions, and I would love Your unboundedness right now.

God:

Yes. Ask a broader question.

Gloria:

I seem to be at a loss for a question beyond asking You what You would like to say. This is a good place to say I so admire the quality of Heavenreaders' questions and comments.

God:

You want the flow of My words and not short specific answers.

Gloria:

Yes.

God:

What your question is tells where you are looking.

You have been getting bogged down.

Gloria:

My beautiful friend Karen thinks I am relying too much on myself and not enough on You.

God:

You can always rely on Me more. I am what you can rely on.

Relying on Me means to let go. No one holds on loosely. My children hold on tight. There are degrees of tightness, but not degrees of looseness. Control is tightness. When you let go, control is gone. Letting go of some control is not letting go of control, only some. You then control how much. Still tightness. Still holding. Hanging on. Gripping. Holding back. Fearing.

And what is it you fear? You don't really know. You know you fear this or that, but what is the fear behind the fears? Is it fear that I am not? Is it fear that I may be but not with you? Is it fear of being lost in life? Of drowning? Of being alone?

You remind me of a person swimming in the ocean. You could float on the water but you think you have to thrash.

Gloria:

How do I distinguish between floating on the water or drifting? Sometimes I feel like I am waiting in life. I am waiting for the web page. I am waiting for financial security. I am still at sea about knowing how to leave things to You and still do what I can.

God:

Leave to Me and do what you can. But don't thrash. It is wasted energy. It is non-productive. Fear makes you thrash.

All right, don't float. Swim then.

Swim lightly and easily.

Go in a direction.

Then stop awhile to rest.

Sometimes it is necessary to tread water to catch your breath and look around at where you are.

Have Me or fear.

Fear opposes evolution.

Ask Me every day to remove fear from you.

Twice a day.

A hundred times a day if you must until you are sick and tired of fear.

You will have enough of it.

Fear is seaweed around your neck.

Fear is just a black cloth with nothing in it.

Fear is semblance.

Fear is the shadow of nothing.

A charcoal mark.

When you live with Me in the present non-time, fear cannot enter.

Choose Me or choose fear to accompany you. I will accompany you regardless, but whom do you accept as your guest? If you would truly choose Me over fear, then choose Me, and fear will remove itself.

Don't ward off fear. Prefer Me.

What a difference.

Take Me.

I offer you everything.

Everything comes with Me.

Fear brings nothing but more of itself.

Fear is an imagined power.

I am an unimaginable Power.

And I give Myself to you.

Everything I have I give to you.

Will you accept Me?

My love?

My truth?

My being?

Will you take a look at yourself and see Me there?

How can you tremble when I am with you?

Look at Me.

When you see Me, you can see nothing else.

You see Me with your heart, not your eyes.

Fill your heart with Me.

Let Me fill your heart.

Empty out fear.

Ladle it out.

Bail it out.

I will burst in.

I will break your boundaries.

Fear is a boundary that makes boundaries.

In truth, there are no boundaries.

You are free.

Untie those pretend-ribbons around you.

Flex your muscle of faith, and the ribbons will come apart.

I am your God.

Fear is not anything.

How can you fear when We are One?

Now, what else is on your mind?

Gloria:

I think I am too dependent on things outside of You.

God:

You mean you are too dependent on things outside of yourself.

Gloria:

Yes. I am dependent on emails, for example. When I receive a lot, I feel good or even sometimes overwhelmed. But, of course, the satisfaction doesn't last long. When I get too few or none, I feel empty to start with.

God:

Then you are looking for approval from the outside.

Value yourself.

Value yourself as I do value you.

Consult with Me more during the day.

You are compartmentalizing Me again.

You write down My words and then you leave Me and go about your life.

Consider Me a parrot on your shoulder.

Consider Me your little dogs who follow you from room to room.

Consider Me your Friend God Who loves you.

I, God, your Champion.

Follow your heart to Me, Gloria.

Steer in My direction.

Simply remember Me.

Choose a key on your keyboard to represent Me.

Every time you touch it, My light goes on.

Which key will it be?

Gloria:

First I thought G for God, but then I thought that was too obvious. I think E is the most used vowel, so E will be You.

God:

E for Energy.

Gloria:

Then I will add L for Love. W for Your Wisdom. J for Joy. P for Peace. And G for God.

God:

Consider Me the screen of your computer as well. As you look through it, know that My eyes look through yours.
