Gloria to Heavenreaders:

Today I take the liberty to share three emails that came one on top of the other. Each of these uplifted me enormously, and I would like to share them with you.

The first excerpt is from Karen. Karen is pure gold, pure love, and pure wisdom. She is vice-president of Heaven Association:

Karen to Gloria:

You have to keep your thoughts positive. This is important when you are working for God. So stop yourself whenever you start feeling dismayed again. If no one subscribes today, be happy, and if one does, be happy. This is pure love. So only the strong will make it to you. Accept this and move on.

Gloria:

The next is from Bev who is a strong beautiful Heavenreader and graduate of the Ask God workshop. She lives in the same town in Iowa I do:

Bev to Gloria:

I've been so surprised that everyone I talk to doesn't want to get Heaven and do the workshop — I decided to send out loving thoughts instead of surprised thoughts. God is always telling me to try to think a certain way "as an experiment" — so this will be another experiment.

It seems as though when I talk to someone about God-writing, they start to tell me about someone or something else — there is a lot to choose from. Sometimes I think that people are looking for an answer "out there" instead of doing the work to find the answer within. For me, Heaven and God-writing is the answer within I've been looking for. I thank you so much for bringing it to me.

Gloria:

The following email is reprinted in its entirety from a brand-new two-week subscriber. Her complimentary two-week subscription started just this morning. This is the email dreams are made of, and Heaven received it!

New Subscriber to Gloria:

Kerry Marston is the wonderful friend who told me about your mission just last night! I couldn't wait to start getting Heaven Letters!

I live in Grand Junction, Colorado, but I'm originally from Boston, Massachusetts. Kerry mentioned that you were on the East coast, where?

Thank you for your prompt response to my request. Please let me know how I go about subscribing so that I don't miss anything after my two weeks are up!

Thanks again. Peace.

Gloria to God:

Dear God, I know that You are my booster. Boosts from outside only last so long, but I have to tell You I sure enjoy any positive input from the world. I feel so dependent upon relative life; I can't seem to get past it. Often it's easier to feel than my connection to You.

God:

Enjoy the positive that comes to you. Do not get caught up in it. Get caught up in Me. Let Me overwhelm you, not events, not words.

When I in you, and I in another meet, it is gratifying.

When you carry awareness of Me within you, it is gratifying.

You can always have Me within you and Me outside you, but dependency is on Me and not the outward manifestation.

Gloria:

God, Karen is my biggest booster. She certainly believes in me more that I do in myself.

God:

You are saying she believes in Me more than you do. Karen does not doubt. You are still in the habit of doubting.

When belief in yourself is low, your belief in Me is low.

Gloria:

Can it be that simple?

God:

It is that simple. You have thought that to disbelieve in yourself is probably virtuous, honorable, and unselfish.

I tell you that your belief in yourself is equal to your belief in Me.

I do not tell you to believe in yourself more than in Me but equally.

When you think you are less than what I say you are, you are believing in yourself more than in Me.

Do you think I do not know a diamond when I see one? There is not one, not one of My children who is other than a diamond. They get fooled by their own disguises. And that includes you.

Do you really think I would make a mistake in choosing you to help forward My words? If you believe in Me, do you think I would make a mistake?

The world's eyes are nice when they are for you. They boost you up. And when the world's eyes are not for you, they beat you down.

I am consistent. My love, and My love for each child, is irremedial.

Nothing, nothing, changes My love and belief in you. What could?

How much proof do you need?

Whose word would you believe if not Mine?

Do you think you have to be flash?

Do you think you have to be powerful?

Mine is the power. And flash is of neither of us.

Be simple, quiet, and keep on working for Me in the ways you do. Be behind the scenes. Put Me in front. But that does not mean to cover yourself in a false cloak of unworthiness.

How conceited and egotistical can you be, Gloria, to think you have to soak in old beliefs rather than rise up to Mine.

Did I tell you to sink into the mire of self-doubt?

I tell you to step up into My beliefs.

I tell you to keep your eyes on Me.

I pull you to Me.

Don't hold back.

There is nothing for you to do but be. Be you, not someone else. You do not have to be other than you are.

Be simple.

Keep your attention high.

Step out of the morass of thoughts that, like clutching hands, hold you back.

Somewhere in your mind you have a picture of a water nymph rising out of the water. The water propelled her up. She did not have to do anything but let the water lift her. If she had flailed her arms and struggled, she would not have risen so high.

Stop struggling against the water that lifts you.

Let yourself be lifted.

Let yourself come to Me.

Let yourself know that.

Accept truth.

Toss out illusion.

Out of the water, I will lift you higher and higher.

Let's have one revolution around the universe right now, so you will always remember We are partners in the dance of life, and I carry you all the way and lift you higher and higher.

How can you worry about anything when you have Me?
