Tina to God:
Dear God, I loved Your Heavenletter to Kasie on April 29th.
That date would have been my dad's birthday if he was still with us in the physical. He was one of those inattentive fathers. What a perfect blessing to receive that message on his birthday! I believe it helped me to get more neutral about what kind of relationship we had while he was still alive.
I really wanted to forward it to my mother, but I thought she would be offended.
Dear God, please help me to continue taking the message to heart in relation to my own parenting, and all my worries about how inadequate I am.
A wishful May Queen, Tina
God to Tina:
My dear Tina, you wrack yourself with your intellect. Are you beginning to see that? And what does your intellect do but judge?
By whose standard do you find My child inadequate? Not Mine. And, tell Me, whose else matters?
Do you, or anyone else, really think they know better than I?
You insult My creation when you call yourself inadequate.
You do not have to be better than anyone else. Nor do you have to see yourself as less.
Equal are My children.
Waste of time to compare.
I made you you.
I didn't make you someone else.
I didn't make you better, and I didn't make you less.
Come from My heart, and not your mind.
Either all my daughters are Queens, or none are.
Be a Queen of love and acceptance.
You are the only one who doesn't accept yourself.
You do not have to be a mighty parent.
You do not have to be the best parent in the world.
That idea puts pressure on the children to love you more, and that is control, My dear Tina.
It is you who has to love herself more.
No one else.
You.
The issue is not who you are to your children.
The issue is who are you to yourself.
Love Tina.
Why not?
Why not love Tina, My creation, a filament of My love on earth.
If you knew Tina, you would love her.
Emulate Me, not some false idol of yourself.
Self-recrimination is not humility.
It is pride.
It is ego.
Shelve that.
Focus on Me, dear Tina, not supposed inadequacy.
Make Me your God, not your faults.
All the attention on your imperfection when your attention could be on Me.
Please stop striving.
Sit back.
Sit back with Me.
There is nothing you have to prove to Me.
Nor to anyone else, but especially not to Me.
Are you for Me or for something else?
Are you for Me or for a picture of yourself that you can hang on the wall and smile at?
Smile at Me, blessed Tina.
If you are blessed by Me, how can you be less than adequate?
If you are blessed by Me, how can you not be more than adequate?
You are looking at the wrong things, dear Tina.
Do you begin to see?
Instead of trying to change yourself and improve yourself in so many areas, change this one thing: doubt.
Stop doubting Me.
Stop doubting yourself.
Nothing has to be a certain way.
Your father did not have to be a certain way.
No one has to be a certain way.
You do not.
Breathe, and be Tina.
Be Tina who loves herself.
Give less of yourself to others in fragments, for so you pick yourself apart.
Slow down a minute.
Your mind speeds.
And your heart races.
Slow down a while and catch up to Me.
I write you a certificate. It says:
"Tina is all right.
All right.
All is right with Tina.
God certifies Tina as all right.
All is right with Tina."
When you accept this fact, no longer will you have to change the world.
Don't be so hard on the world either, dear Tina.
Be easy with the world, and be easy with My blessed child known as Tina.
Think of yourself as Grand, Tina.
Tina, the Grand.
God says so.
Tina, God's love.
God's love packaged in Tina, the Grand.
What can a holder of God's love be but grand?
Am I within you or not?
Let's settle this now once and for all.
Do you accept that I reside in your heart?
Do you accept that I am a God of love?
Do you accept respect for yourself and your heart?
Could it be that you are, after all, worthy?
And how worthy? Worthy of only some of God's love? Or worthy?
If you are worthy, you are worthy.
You cannot be partly worthy.
You cannot be a little worthy or some worthy.
You are worthy.
You are My worthy child.
How much you are worth to Me, dear Tina.
Look up at Me and know your worth.
That is what you have to do, know your worth.
Know your worth to Me.
Honor your worth, and so you honor Me.

Re May 14, "When you judge … you have constricted your veins and your vision." Whoa! There's a mind-body medicine nugget for us! I love Heavenletters!
