Abby to Heavenletters:
Dear Gloria, what a wonderful thing it is to get Heavenletters! They are such a joy! I always read them in the mornings just after my first class of each day and they make the rest of the day so sweet.
My love to you and the Heaven readers!
Abby to God:
God, I have a vague idea of what you mean when you say I should let myself just be, and I truly want that, but it doesn't come so easily for me. In bits and pieces it comes along. Very slowly. I can't see exactly what it is that I'm doing that prevents me from being as free as I want to be. How do I learn to do this?
God to Abby:
Just as you are. It is not an all-at-once thing, although a recognition may sink in all at once.
Know you are doing fine.
You are unlearning past ignorance, or programming.
Once in a while, ask yourself: "Do I really believe this? What is the purpose of this belief? What is my purpose here? What do I want to have happen? What feels true to me here?"
As you listen to others around you, feel what from them is true. Smiles are not always true. Statements are not always true. Unless they speak their truth, My children are reciting.
As you open to your truth, Abby, you will become more aware of others' also.
My children learned all they learned unaware. Now My love will wash away unuseful learning.
Know that you are equal to all.
Know that your heart has great knowledge.
And know that I am behind you and with you in your journey in life. I am your Coach. I am your Champion. I am your Friend. And you are My blessing.
Gloria:
For most of my life, dear God, I didn't know what my truth was, and I certainly wasn't in it. I acted sweet and nice, but it wasn't always what I felt. I think I was trying to avoid trouble, convince myself that I was not so bad, and perhaps get corroboration that I even existed.
God:
Until you found Me right where I've always been.
Then you were no longer scurrying for favor. Then you started to follow Me as you would the Lodestar. You have to look up to follow Me instead of down. Your feet will follow earth. Let your eyes and heart follow Me. That is how you expand your horizons.
Gloria:
And yet, I did do some things right even so. I was in my truth in teaching schoolchildren. I think that in dealing with children, I was never afraid; therefore, I was honest. Dealing with adults was a different matter for me, but I am getting better at that now too. I mean I am able to be more truthful.
God:
Yes, better than thinking if something is right or wrong, think if it is true or not so true. Honest or not so honest.
All of your life will become like Godwriting, Gloria. You have no hesitation with it. You leap to sit down to do it. That is being in your truth. It is where your heart wants to go.
Gloria:
What is my truth about housework then, dear God? In actuality, I like to do a good job cleaning and polishing, but I put everything else first. Then cleaning becomes enormous, and there isn't time to do it right.
God:
Then do it wrong!
Gloria:
Oh.
God:
You are still stuck on things being perfect. "Do it right or not at all" seems to be your motto. Change your motto to: "For Heaven's sakes, just get it done." That is My God-given advice to you.
Now doesn't even thinking of housework seem lighter?
Gloria:
Yes.
God:
You Godwrite for Me. Clean house for Me with the same alacrity. All you do you do for Me. And you know that I don't judge. I accept and enjoy. That is what I do. I also bestow My energy. Take it.

Judith to Heavenletters:
I have been reading Heavenletters for a month. My life feels so much better, I don't care who is sending me these precious messages! — it could be God or it could be a sweet lady sitting up at 3:00 in the morning thinking up these words to ease my mind. What difference would it make? I am glad and grateful.
God to Judith:
I assure you that these precious messages are from Me.
A. J. to Heavenletters:
Each of God's Heaven Letters I have read has tantalized me with some delicious glimpse into the Divine…they keep me going or bring me back when I have drifted away. I am inspired to look inside for God, and I thank you for helping open that connection in me!
God to A. J.:
And you have found Me.
Margaret to Heavenletters:
Didn't God give me wonderful children? They are my deepest teachers. Thank You, God!
God to Margaret:
Yes, they are your teachers. And you are learning very well.
Julie to Heavenletters:
I have to reread God's answer to Abby about her friend. I have a similar situation with a girlfriend of mine. Karen says to ignore her, that she is trying to pull me in. My heart says reach out and see what went wrong.
God to Julie:
Sometimes it is hard to distinguish between heart, programming, and ego. But, no matter, you will get clearer and move faster and faster to Me.
