Bev to Gloria:
The Heavenletter January 12 was so sweet. I loved the last part, especially where God thanked His children for the joy that we send back to Him!
Last night, as I was Godwriting, I felt such complete and perfect peace. God knew I was feeling it and said to take that moment of complete happiness, and "trace this feeling from your heart to Mine. Come see where We are joined. Leave your house and come visit Me in Mine. You will see that your thinking is small — I will show you how to think from a more worthy perspective. Come, try it."
I did as He said, as best I could. It was like following a path from one place to another. When I got there, I experienced that I never went anywhere at all.
I am starting to see how God, through Heavenletters, is physically taking each of us by the hand and guiding us to a place where we will experience that we are all truly One. What a remarkable gift we have been given!
Bev to God:
God, I have a question that I would like to ask You. I feel a deep connection with the animals on this planet, and it causes me a lot of pain to think of them suffering and also of species going extinct.
It feels like it would be a huge loss to life on earth to lose these animals. Yet their land continues to be destroyed and poachers continue to kill.
I find the more I get involved in 'animal rights' activities, the more it seems there is to do. You told me once to "care without investment", and I think I understand. But sometimes I feel confused about how much to get involved.
How involved should we be in trying to protect the planet? What priority should this have in our lives? Do we serve You by protecting the earth you created?
Thank you, dear Lord. My heart flows in gratitude to be on this path with You and Heaven.
God to Bev:
My dearest Bev, Godwriter Supreme, Child of Heart.
It is not My Will that any creature on earth be frightened, wounded, or killed needlessly. Taking advantage of anyone or anything is not My Will.
You are on earth to perform goodness for all beings, human and animal and mineral. Humans, animals and earth are in your care. I have given them to you to bless. And also for you to learn your own heart and Oneness with all that exists.
I do not endorse willful hurt to any creature or thing on earth.
Now, Bev, separate the extinction of animals from wanton killing of them. They are two separate issues. In that context, it is okay for a species of animal or flora to become extinct. It is no matter. Energy has been transformed.
Life on earth is change. It is a passing moment. Dinosaurs no longer walk the earth. You accept that. It is not a loss. It is change.
I know that the thought of no more pandas or baby seals wrenches your heart. Know they will continue, but also know that the ending of a species is not a catastrophe. Endings are not catastrophes. Death is not. Of course, nothing is when you come to My house, Bev.
Every act of love, every sense of love, casts My light on the world. Love animals. Give them care. Just love them, dear Bev, to your heart's content. Do for them all you like in joy. And for the planet Earth.
Pure love is the caring without investment. Be involved without involvement. That is how I do. Can you imagine Me, running around, being in pain? Emotion is not the same as pure love. Compassion without tearing your own heart is pure love. Do all you can do, but keep your heart intact. Attend to the joy and not the pain.
As for the abusers of animals or flowers or any growing thing or still life on earth, others' feelings towards them will be communicated. Lovers and protectors of all life will do well to consider the abusers and neglectors as injured beings, which they are, or they would not injure. Extend your tender heart to them.
Have a silent campaign of blessing the injurers. Do you see how your blessings will protect the endangered? If enough of My children could extend blessings to the hurters, they, the hurters, would begin to see and feel differently because hearts extended to theirs.
Open your great heart to include the unlovely as well as the lovely. Send your pure heart their way. That is forgiving. Forgiving is not an idle act or words. It is a pro-act. It is seeing the bigger picture. It is developing greatness within you. Perhaps the unkind ones are there to increase your kindness. Be grateful to them even for giving you an opportunity to notice your heart and so increase its capacity.
Remember that pain and upset are not virtuous. Pain and upset are not My Will.
Remember also that it is the physical that gets injured. Truth is not touched. Truth is unassailable. Love will take over, and you are part of that love. And you are doing well.
