Gloria:
Dear God, one of the things I love about You is that You open me up. You teach me so much, and stir me to wanting more of Your love, more of You. I know You teach me a lot, but I never feel You are "educating" me, do You know what I mean?
God:
I do.
Gloria:
About a year ago I was with a few people and we were talking about You! Someone asked something like, What does God seem like to you? I said that for me, You are a wonderful feeling I have.
And that was not the "right" answer, and I forget what the right answer was. But, God, that was MY right answer. I don't want somebody else's answer. I want My answer today. Maybe tomorrow I will have a different one, but today this is mine, and I want it mine.
God:
This is a recurrent theme for you. You want ownership of where you are. Where you are. That is what this is all about, to find out where you are, not where someone (or you) thinks you should be, but where you are. It is like someone telling you, "Give your heart to this man and not the other, for this is the one right for you." But your heart tells you something different.
We are not talking here about what is accurate or inaccurate.
We are not talking here about how to play the cello. We are talking here about what the cello means to you. Who can tell you that but yourself?
Gloria:
Yesterday I was talking to a fine brilliant good-hearted Heavenreader that I respect a great deal, and he had a lot of questions. The questions were more about You and Heavenletters than to You. I said, "Send in your questions." And he said, "No, I'm afraid God won't give the right answer!" We laughed and all, but…
God:
There is no final answer, last word. There is beginning. There isn't even understanding. There is being.
Gloria:
I think that is what he was saying actually.
Here were some of his questions as I remember: "How can God have a vibration? Who is God? Is He separate? Is He outside of you? Is he a concept? Who is the I? Who is it who is speaking? Who is the experiencer? How can God be God if He is the Experiencer? If there is God alone, how can we have to evolve?"
God, I know I cannot ask You my friend's questions for him. Even more than Your answering questions, you answer the questioner. If I pose the question, even exactly of the same words, I would be asking a different question.
God:
Yes.
Gloria:
To me, we use the words we use for the sake of argument. I mean, there are commonly agreed upon meanings of words. We know that You are It, God, and We are One. But I can't constantly watch my language. It's the language I have. How do I say anything if I can't say it? To me, in a way, it's like asking: Why sing a song of praise to You if I am You anyway?
God:
Because your heart sings.
Because your heart wants to be heard.
Because you want to express exaltation and be exalted yourself.
Because you want music.
Because you want to sing love as well as be it.
Gloria:
God, I also feel that if I had all the answers, what good is that to anyone?
Heavenletters is about questions. What would there be to ask if I knew (thought I knew) all the answers?
My father once had a store. It was called The Union Market, the Working-Man's Friend. And I kind of think that's what Heavenletters is like. Heaven isn't for the elite. It's for everyone who wants it.
God:
Heavenletters turns the diamond of life around from different facets. That's all. It's a way of looking, that's all. It's another way of knowing Me which is to say having awareness of being Me.
Your friend also gets something from reading Heaven. No matter what he has, there is more. That is infinity. Always more. Not arrival, but arriving. Arriving to where you already are. Again and again.

Sandra to Heavenletters:
Dear Gloria, thanks for reminding me about the subscription. I guess I'll renew — HaHaHa. You and God are really the only reason that I put the computer on everyday. It's such a wonderful connection.
On a personal note, I know what you mean about the pain of Ginger's passing. People give us more credit than we deserve when coping with loss and, of course, they forget. I cry almost every day about my husband David. Of course, it's never planned, but cues and memories come so unexpectedly.
God to Sandra:
Your heart is mending, dear Sandra. You are actually doing very well. Thank you for connecting to Me.
Jon W. to Heavenletters:
God continues to bless me everyday. I find myself constantly admiring, appreciating and enjoying His Presence as I live my life with Him. I recognize and cherish our Oneness as a lively Presence in my heart that fills and thrills me with His ever fresh and new Joy. He constantly reminds me of His Presence as I go about my day. On many occasions I find myself asking questions or sharing my experiences with Him, and He responds with such love and simplicity of truth.
I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to have an intimate, personal relationship with Him. He is always in my awareness and vision and is the one constant in my life that never changes.
Everyday reading Heavenletters tickles my heart and soul with His love, wisdom and guidance. I feel so connected to Him. Whenever a Heavenreader shares their heartfelt experiences, I am overwhelmed with love and compassion. On many occasions, my heart explodes and I find tears run down my face.
Thank you, Gloria, for your commitment and desire to continue offering Heavenletters. As you know, I am always happy to assist you in any way.
With All of God's Blessings,
Your friend and admirer, Jon
God:
Hello, Jon.
