Gloria:
Dear God, Anne asked me to ask You two things on her behalf: What should she be doing with her life? What can her husband be doing to support them and their teenage children? She is not asking for a great income, but some income, some regular support for the very basics.
Anne has had cancer twice. She is very thin. She would love to continue to stay home, cook good meals, rest etc.
Her husband has had a continuously hard time with employment. He's had poorly paying jobs that don't last. Recently he found a job that pays well, but his blood pressure was too high to pass the company's physical exam.
God:
The lady you call Anne worries too much. That is why she is so thin. Fear has her in its grip. She says that somehow she and her family will be taken care of, but her actual faith is debilitated.
Anne has had a hard go of it when you look at health and financial support in terms of the relative world, but Anne will do well to open her thinking. She has set tiny limits for herself and needs to expand them. She has much either/or thinking. Stay home and rest or get work that she doesn't want. She sees staying home as freedom and work as restriction, but it is her ideas that restrict her. The premises she starts from are narrow, and this narrowness confines her outer life.
Much of her desire to remain at home is not noble but fear-based:
1. She sees danger lurking out there.
2. She needs to be home where she is safe.
3. She is being cheated to have to work.
These ideas do not support her well.
She is a powerful thinker. Much of her fear thinking has transferred to her husband. He feels like a failure, in her eyes and in the eyes of the world. He has not met her demands. Part of him wants to be his own man and not be her servant who must bring her a paycheck.
Perhaps Anne will turn over her life to Me, or Myself as Mother Divine, and cease to turn it over to her husband.
Perhaps she can take the idea into her mind that she and her husband are not husband and wife with predetermined roles but are two modern people living together. She needs to let go of her right to be supported and look at going to work as natural and as a gift rather than as a deprivation and punishment. This may well make it easier for her husband to be the breadwinner she wants.
Rigid imaginary boundaries here.
Work will be good for Anne. The income will improve her health. She will find joy in working rather than objection. She will not have so much time to worry. She will forget she has been ill and will not see herself as a patient or as a victim of life, and she will feel My support more strongly.
Although Anne finds joy in the spiritual, she is caught up in survival.
It is no surprise in the relative life that all you expect from life does not come to you as ordered. It is no surprise that there are dreams to be set aside.
Anne, hold on not so tight. It is truly I Who takes care of the universe. You can release it to My care.
You are worth gold to Me. That you need to work does not make you less favored in My eyes. Consider it a way to serve Me.
Consider yourself a bird who gives joy no matter what treetop he is in. He does not determine ahead of time that his happiness can only be in this treetop and not that one.
Dear child, when you take pressure off yourself, you will take pressure off your husband, and his blood pressure will go down.
Pressure is control. Anne, you cannot control life. It is better you live it.
Consider all that comes to you in life as a bathing. Work will be like a refreshing bath for you when you allow it.
Start saying Yes to all that comes your way. You will find the freedom and finances you want and remove burdens from your family.
Listen to the songs the birds I send you sing. They are trying to tell you something. Receive their knowledge as you have received their friendship.
In addition, it will be well for you to express yourself creatively. Perhaps in the writing of children's stories, perhaps illustrating also.
Remember always that you are My divine child, and My blessings are yours. I leave you gifts along the way. Look for them.
Lift your heart, Anne, and your whole life will soar. Find happiness in what comes to you rather than deciding what must come to you so that you can then be happy.
Happiness is your choice. You can choose to work with joy. You can choose anything. I gave you freedom. I give it to you still.
I carry you in My heart. I remove your worries one by one. They were not real, Anne.
Gloria to Mother Divine:
Dear Mother Divine, is there something you would like to say on Anne's behalf?
Mother Divine:
Anne has been waiting for life to serve her. She has tied up much energy in her need for support. Now she will free her energy and start serving life.
Her need for money was her cancer. Holding on was her illness.
And now she is freed.
Anne will be the feminine self she desires to be. It is much more feminine to work than to be fitfully demanding of, or begging money from, the universe.
Anne is truly a soft person. She does not need to strain. She needs to relax, to lean back into the softness of my arms.
To relax is to know Who you are, and that you do nothing of yourself. Rely on no one but God, and then you can rely on yourself which is that expression of God's Will.
Relax into employment. Relax into receiving. Anne, I put a pillow beneath your head, a footstool at your feet. I place flower-petals of love around you, and a cushion of angels to comfort you. The sun shines and stars are bright, and you are a part of the universe.
