Annette to God:
Dear God, give me faith for faith's sake, so that I may know my Oneness with You. Teach me, God! I really want to learn! Every day I want to increase my faith more and more! Let me shine Your loving truth to all. Teach me patience.
Gloria to God:
Dear God, what Annette has just said seems to say it all.
One thing I love about Heaven is the honesty of the readers. What Annette says here has all the energy of truth. I don't have to ask myself, "What is really being said? What does she really mean? Where is she coming from? Does she really feel this way? Is there something else going on here?"
It is such a relief, and it's so easy to be in truth in Heavenletters.
God, I put a lot of energy in life into trying to figure out what someone really means when they say something. What a suspicious pitiful way to live.
But in Heavenletters, I too say where I am. And so this makes me question how honest am I really in regular life, like when I say I'm glad to see someone and maybe I'm really not.
God:
The day will come when there is no separation between the truth of Heavenletters and your daily life. All interaction will be simple.
The fact is you will be glad to see everyone. The same as you are glad to see everyone in Heavenletters.
You will feel like a hostess in life.
Your place is to greet everyone.
To welcome everyone.
Not on your behalf, but on Mine.
You will be a stand-in for Me.
You will be in My truth.
Gloria:
This makes me realize that when I am not in Heavenletters, I am lonely for it.
God:
You are lonely for Me.
Gloria:
Well, I can't sit and reread Heavenletters all day. So how do I make the transition of pulling You into all of my life?
God:
Ask Me. Say:
"Dear God, please help me to carry Your love with me all day. Help me to constantly keep You before me. I know You are my strength and my glory, and yet I abandon thought of You. And when I abandon thought of You, I am energyless."
Gloria:
I wonder if being energyless is the same as being unhappy.
God:
Unhappy is uninspired.
Happy is inspired.
Inspired is energy.
Energy comes from Me.
Gloria:
Sometimes I don't have the energy to do anything physical.
God:
That is a signal to come back to Me.
Also remember that you do not always have to be producing in life. You can sit and do nothing and be with Me. But to sit and do nothing without awareness of Me is palling.
You have had a sense that to live life in the relative requires that you keep Me out.
Just as you clearly have Me in mind when you do Godwriting, have Me clearly in mind when you do anything. When you sit and do nothing.
Gloria:
I am happy when there is occasion to talk about You. Anything connected with Heavenletters, except record-keeping, makes me happy.
God:
Then talk about Me more. Make occasions to talk about Me. Don't compartmentalize Me. Flaunt Me.
Get Me out there. You keep waiting for something. Surely you don't have to wait for Me!
Gloria:
But You wait for us.
God:
I wait for you. I wait for all My children. But, meanwhile, I don't wait. I cannot lose time because time does not exist. There is no waiting. All is now. Not in readiness but in completion. All is done. Oneness means completion. One with God. What more can there be?
Gloria:
Thank You.
Dear God, how You tell us to look to You for everything and not so much to others, and I'm getting better at that. Yet I feel ruled by a lot of things.
When I taught school, it was like school was the whole world, and Dr. Deady, the Superintendent, ruled it. I suppose wherever anyone works, they work in a bounded place governed by others. Carrying that further, we live in a world that has so many rules and laws and authority. Our lives are regulated. We have government. IRS. Police. Courts. FBI. CIA. All kinds of initials that sort of strike terror in my heart. I know they are nothing really, but yet they have power.
God:
No. The power is Mine. Any power of anyone over you is illusion. You have accepted that illusion. You are My free child. Even within boundaries, you are free. Even in a prison, you are free. Any limits on you, and you have set them. You have accepted them.
Gloria:
I just don't understand.
God:
You are talking about the movement of bodies. I am talking about YOU. Glory is not in the physical. You have to eat. You have to drink. Is that freedom? But what does your soul need but Me? And it has that. You have Me. Put your attention on Me. Keep it on Me. Keep a picture of Me in your mind.
Gloria:
I guess I am really asking what Lauren has asked, and that is how to be happy when the relative circumstances aren't what you want.
God:
Decide. Decide to be free. And then fly.

Nancy O. to Heavenletters:
I have thought that the last week's teachings from God are very useful, and I salute you and others for your questions and God's compassion in answering so practically. Blessings to you!
