Gloria to God:
Dear Holy Father, what is Your message this morning?
God:
Hello, My loves. That is My message every moment. Hello, My loves.
I am what everyone has dreamed of. Someone who really loves them, for themselves, not for what they do but for who they are.
I AM and I LOVE are synonymous.
You are My cups of love. I am sustained through you. I am fulfilled through you.
Gloria:
Why is that hard accept?
God:
Accept that I love you so? For the same reason that My children often refuse to love themselves. What do they think would happen when they discover their true worth? Why was it easier to buy the untruth about themselves? Answer, please.
Gloria:
Well, I think it's because we are afraid it's not true and will be disappointed, as if You are a mirage, and then we turn out not truly worthwhile.
God:
The Fatherless discriminate against themselves.
Gloria:
It seems easier to believe in You than ourselves.
God:
There is no need to believe in Me. You believe only when you don't KNOW. When you KNOW Me, what is there to believe?
Gloria:
Karen says when we love ourselves, we are loving You.
God:
One and the same. Seek and ye shall find means that what you look for is what you find.
Look for Me, and I appear. Look for proof I am not, and you will fool yourself that you have found your proof. Look for fault, and you will find it aplenty. Look for grace, and you find it. Look for disgrace, and that is what you see.
Look for pain, proof that God has abandoned you, and you will trip over it.
Look for joy, notice it, and you have it.
That which you look for, you become.
Look for light, and become it.
Be on the lookout for evidence of love, and you become the evidence.
A good question is: What do you emphasize in your life? Blessing or curse? Peace or turmoil?
What do you talk about? What do you listen to? Do you grumble or sing? Why not sing?
Why not examine the nugget of gold in your heart? Acknowledge it. Pay attention to it.
Look for gain and not loss.
Look for acceptance rather than refusal.
Look for order rather than chaos.
Look for light rather than dark.
Look for yourself. You are there. There is a chord in your heart that vibrates with Mine, and this is who you are and what you must find.
I made you good. You are good. There is only good. There is only light. There is only purity. The rest is fiction. Mutually agreed-upon fiction, but fiction nevertheless.
You say there is war? Who is there to have war with? Only yourself.
Who is there to suffer? To regret? rue? forget? tremble? hesitate? You nod your head yes. You understand what I am saying.
But when I say, "Who is beautiful? Who is Godlike? Who is love? peace? joy? harmony?" you shake your head no, and answer, "Not I."
What arrogance to think you know better than I?
I say, you are the child of a King.
I say, you are spun gold.
I say, you are the music of angels.
I say, you are most dear to Me.
I say, you are a flower I planted, and I planted only roses of rare beauty and heritage.
I say, you are My hopes and dreams and My truth, and you say, "Uhhh…You're mistaken."
I heap pleasures on you, and you say, "I got left out."
I give you everything, and you say, "I have been denied."
I say, you are a prince, and you say, "I am nothing."
I say you are everything, and you make a joke of it. "Yeah, sure, God, I'm great!" you say and roll your eyes.
Unroll your eyes and look at Me. Look into My eyes of love. Lose yourself there, and come out whole, a true soul who beknights himself and rises up a shining knight in service to God's world.
Gloria:
Dear God, I hear You, and I know You, and I love You, and I know You love me beyond my comprehension, but then I face dirty dishes and clutter and so much to do that doesn't get don, and emotions I would rather not have, and then I sort of think that maybe You have made a mistake with me.
God:
And if you think that, then you think I have with everyone. Do you? Think. Answer honestly.
Gloria:
With a few exceptions. And yet, when I look into people's eyes, God, then I believe You have honored everyone. When I think of the rest of the body and all the physical things, then I don't know.
God:
So look into eyes. Step into eyes like lakes of love and surrender to eyes.
Look beyond the physical. The physical is not where the action is.
The physical has its beauty and its uses, but physical is physical. Material is only material until you look at the light it holds.
Paint with light today. Uphold the sun and the moon and the stars. Uphold what upholds the universe, and that is the light that shines within you.
A little later…
Gloria to God:
Do You remember that recently you said that You were making headlines? I thought You were speaking metaphorically. I didn't know you were literal.
The Bagley's are a couple from Ottumwa who were shot and killed in Texas. Ottumwa would not be considered the most spiritual place. I think it wouldn't be seen as spiritual at all. It has meatpacking plants that smell up the highway etc.
Look at today's headline in the Ottumwa Courier:
BAGLEY'S BELIEVED IN GOD
God:
No, I tell the truth, and truth uplifts and inspires.
I, the true Me, am coming into the mainstream. I, Myself, known, not merely reported.
