Gloria to God:
Dear God, I am afraid that what I am going to say will be misunderstood. Not by You, but by readers. Perhaps I shouldn't say it, but I will. I think of dying with joy, God. It's almost like I can't wait. This is not from unhappiness. It is from happiness.
On earth, can we have full fullness of You? We are divided on earth, God and the physical, God and the physical. To have only awareness of You and not have to bother with the material, not have to dust, not have to count coins, not to have to think about anything but You.
I remember hearing once: If we knew an ounce of Your love, we would not be able to stay on earth.
That's sort of what I feel.
What do I want to do here on earth, God?
I want to Godwrite.
I would miss Godwriting — or would I? Would there be anything to miss when I would be with You in Heaven?
God:
You are becoming less attached, dear Gloria.
But do not think of unattached as disembodiment.
Be unattached on earth and know the joy of Heaven.
You have yet much to do on earth for Me.
While on earth, all have much to do for Me.
Not only you. All.
You are here for reason.
You are not on earth for no reason.
You may not know your reason, but that does not mean it is not.
Know that you are fulfilling your reason.
No matter how disjointed your life, you are fulfilling your reason. You are fulfilling My reason.
I am the Cause.
You are not.
You are a result of My thought.
I am your reason for being.
You all have assignments that you are fulfilling.
All.
It is mystery to you only because you consciously know so little.
Have the faith in Me that I do know.
So stay on earth happily until I call you.
Gloria:
God, sometimes I feel that You are calling me.
God:
That is wishful thinking, dear Gloria. You are daydreaming life with Me. You are waiting for the phone to ring, and you keep imagining it has. No, I have not called you to Me away from earth yet. And not for a long time to come. So get on with your life on earth, and know it is Mine. Stop fantasizing.
Live on earth while on earth.
You tend to have your feet in two boats.
You have gotten on a boat that sails on the ocean. Know you are in a boat on the ocean, and don't keep one foot up looking for another boat to set your foot in. The boat you are in is good. Keep both feet there. And don't look to jump off the boat and swim in the ocean. When you no longer need that boat on the ocean, you won't have it. Do not count the waves ahead or behind. Do not count the waves. Sail. Just sail across the ocean blue.
You will come to the shores of My Heaven soon enough, but that will be a long time from now in earth time.

Nancy O. to God:
Dear God, our questions serve to bring us closer to You, because in Your answer we feel Your love, Your benevolence and Your guidance in getting still closer to You. I am thankful for Your guidance, for Your constant love, and for Your reminding me to be in the present, as You did in the November 4 Heavenletter.
Yes, I will release my ex-husband to the past. It just is not as clear for me as other loves in the past that I have had to let go of. I think it is because we were married and there is so much stigma about staying together no matter what. He will not stay out of my life, and I kept getting taken by him. And I am really angry at myself for letting him get to me.
But I am moving into the present and at this point have a wonderful new boyfriend. You have told me to accept the friendship and I am. I am putting all things past behind me as I move forward. I am trying not to plan for the future as much as to stay here in the present and just enjoy it!
Thank you for Your constant love, Your loving counsel, and Your willingness to allow Gloria (and each of us) to communicate with You directly,
Your humble and loving daughter.
Gloria to Nancy O.:
Nancy, God made a comment which I seem to have misplaced. I'm sorry, I don't know where it is. But it was to the effect that you are mistaken to think that the world expects you to stay together with your ex-husband, even in spirit. He said that the world today expects you to move on. There is no stigma to your letting go.
I'm sorry, I just don't know where His comment went. Was it already printed somewhere?
Nancy L. to Heavenletters:
Often God has told you and others that you are working for Him. I liked the idea. After the November 1 Heavenletter, when I was worried about my pottery sale, I decided that this pottery sale would be for Us, God and me, and that I was working for Him. It felt good to think that way, and suddenly I started making better things ever before!
For instance, it has been difficult for me to throw large bowls and tall vases, and suddenly I am throwing bigger bowls and taller vases than ever before! And my husband did install the things I wanted. My glazes are good, and the light is bright. I am in bliss. I am working for God now, why not!
God to Nancy L.:
Yes! I am a Great Potter. And I give you My skill for My enjoyment. And you are learning where I am — right beside you. And, you, you are right beside Me. Our hands move the clay and move the wheel, and Our love is manifested in large and small, and Our love is neither large nor small but only infinite!
Love, God
