The Freeway of Love

Heavenletter #3778 Published on: March 30, 2011
God said:

Lift up your head. Lift up your eyes. Lift up your heart. Let your heart dance and sing. You are the decider of your heart. The world is not. The world does not have the last say of your heart. Your heart is within your chest for a reason. For all intents and purposes, it is your heart. Of course, your heart is Mine, yet what We are talking about now is your free will. Your heart can be anything you say it is. It can be the heart of hearts.
 
Do not embalm your heart. Let your heart be full-hearted. Let your heart sing My song. Let your heart be an aria. Let your heart be a scene-stealer. Why, oh, why, My children, would you deny your heart its chance to shine? Have you not put your heart under a mushroom? Have you not sometimes or often kept it hidden from yourself and the world?
 
Hearts are not to be denied. Not yours, not anyone’s.
 
Dust off your heart, and get it out there with the sun and the stars. Take your heart out of the closet and hang it high up on the moon or the tail of a comet, and let it be seen. If only in passing, let your heart be seen. Let your heart be unforgettable. Do not forget your heart.
 
Your heart is not an adding machine. Your heart is not a cipher. Your heart is a full-blown rose. Your heart is replicated. Let your heart be on the front cover of every magazine. Let’s return love to love. Let love not be a tour de force. Love is not meant to struggle. Love is the engine that runs the Universe. So be it. Why disguise love? Why short-change it? Why harden a heart that is meant for love?
 
In the story, the miser of money himself turned into frozen inanimate gold. What is this story about but love lost? The miser kept love to himself as he hoarded his money. Money, try as it might, cannot be the love of your life.
 
Keep your love viable. Keep your heart searching the stars and bringing starlight to Earth.
 
Today you will have many opportunities to love, and to love above all. To love before self-righteousness. To love before distress. To love before anything else. To love no matter what. You are to let nothing deter you from love. Nothing equals it.
 
You may say that the world has denied you love. You may say that the world has closed your heart. You may say that your heart has been flattened, stepped on, discounted, not recognized, disapproved of. What a terrible thing for the world to have done. Even worse, when you follow the dictates of the world and stop there. Your heart is to blossom. You are the only one who has the power to hold back your heart. Whose heart is it? Your heart is not someone else’s. Your heart is not clay that another plays with. No one, nothing, is to vanquish your heart, your beautiful heart, My beautiful heart lodged in your chest.
 
Playing for love is a high-stakes game. Do not throw down the cards of your heart. Do not get up and leave. Stay with love. There is no other game in town.
 
Not for one minute are you to forget love. Not for one minute are you to keep the lid on it. Oh, no. Set your love free. Set it free now once and for all. Unlock your heart and throw the key away. The key got rusty. Now polish your heart. Your heart is the supreme apple on the tree. Your love is the star at the top of the Christmas tree. Your heart cannot topple. Fall in love with love. Let your love no longer give of itself by dribs and drabs. Open your heart wide, not just ajar, no, wide open for all the world to see.
 
Restore your heart to its birthright. Your heart’s birthright is to love. This way to love. Steer your heart down the freeway of love.

Some of us will probably use

On March 30th, 2011 Jochen (not verified) says:

Some of us will probably use the Cosmic Heavenletter Generator today. I got #1473, Stronger Than Hope, and found it just perfect for this day and moment. Want a quote?

Know in your heart that when peace is declared, you brought it to the world's attention because you saw it coming.

[Señora, should you read this, what does "precluded" mean in the first line of the last paragraph?]

I'm looking forward to reading today's heavenletter in English when I come home from the mountains tonight.

Be patient Jochen, we are

Be patient Jochen,
we are waiting for a copy of todays' original Heavenletters. There was a technical problem. As soon as we get it, we will post it and email it.

The French version went out

On March 30th, 2011 Heaven Admin says:

The French version went out to the English list. I received a flood of support requests this morning...a good thing! It's nice to know how many people read their Heavenletters. As far as email lists go Heavenletters probably has one of the highest read rates for a free email newsletter. From our stats we can project a daily 60-70% readership. The norm is 2-4%.

The English version is on its way out now, Jochen.

A big thank to Theophil who

On March 30th, 2011 Normand Bo... says:

A big thank to Theophil who got my request to issue a copy of today's Heavenletter and fixed the problem.

That is what we call a collaborative team!

Thanks again Theophil.

A big thank you to everyone

On March 30th, 2011 Gloria Wen... says:

A big thank you to everyone who cared so much, Theophil, you, Heaven Admin and all the people who wrote in requesting their Heavenletter in English.

On the blog, there is an entry about an Email from Japan, one of the most beautiful letters I have ever read, for after the earthquake, there was so much brotherhood, so many people helping others. It made me proud to be a human being.

Although our mix-up this morning is nothing compared to the Tsunami, I compare the two because everyone here, translators and readers alike, rallied. Everyone's wonderfulness made me extra happy to be part of this community.

What is most thrilling to

On March 30th, 2011 Gloria Wen... says:

What is most thrilling to me, Heaven Admin, is how so many Heavenreaders not only read their Heavenletter every day but also eager await them and are disappointed, even bereft, when their Heavenletter doesn't come as it's meant to so they can read it right then. The readers' hearts own what God says.

My first thought was "Oh

On March 30th, 2011 Berit says:

My first thought was "Oh wow, I have been giftet with the french subscription ! that is great ! maybe I will soon have a new friend who speaks french with whom to share Heavenletters !

much love and thanks.

Precluded

On March 30th, 2011 Charles Fi... says:

" . . . what does "precluded" mean in the first line of the last paragraph?"

"The details of a precluded event you will not know."

Jochen, some preliminary thoughts. The dictionary definition of "preclude" means something like prevent, as I'm sure you know. It is somewhat of a high falutin' word. Modesty precludes me from listing my many achievements. (Hah!) A precluded event would be one that is being prevented from happening. Prevented perhaps by someone here on earth behind the scenes pulling strings, perhaps by a higher power or even a Higher Power. I have many experiences of a door firmly shut in my life and perhaps you do as well.

So the sentence makes perfect sense by itself, but as far as I can see not in context. Trust you to spot it. I would probably pass it by with a slight shrug. If you remove the sentence, the rest of the context makes sense, at least to me. I tried mentally putting it in parentheses, which helps me some but is awkward beginning the paragraph. I tried putting the sentence elsewhere with no success. It belongs where it is.

Another approach substitutes a word such as "future" for "precluded". "The details of a future event you will not know." That sort of works but sometimes you do know details ahead of time, at least in high probability. A more complex solution theorizes that God said "clouded", which fits with the sunshine imagery, but Gloria heard "precluded", which sounds similar even if looking much different. "The details of a clouded event you will not know." All of this falls outside my limits of copyediting authority and I wonder with you what Gloria might have to say about it. Sometimes you just have to shrug and move on.

Beloved Charles, I don't

On March 30th, 2011 Gloria Wen... says:

Beloved Charles, I don't know what to say. Maybe it was to mean just that you couldn't know about it in advance. I have to plead ignorance!

What does the word occluded mean? Does that fit better?

Also see response to Jochen. I saw his question before I saw yours.

Occluded

On March 31st, 2011 Charles Fi... says:

Gloria, "occlude" means to obstruct or to cause to become closed in its general sense. An artery can become occluded. There are a number of special meanings in areas as far apart as dentisty and meteorology which only confuse this more. After seven years, it probably makes the most sense to just say, "Hmmm," and move on.

Bible translators are faced with this same problem, especially in the really old Hebrew writings. Sometimes the sense of a word or phrase has just plain been lost and people make an educated guess. In spite of the greatest care taken to preserve the text without mistake in copying, it is impossible to know if an error slipped in along the way or even if the original writer made a mistake. Idioms and special usage and slang can become obscure. I wonder how our translators handled this one.

My personal opinion is that God allows this to happen to keep us on our toes and also to demonstrate that we may not after all know it all. I'm told that weavers of oriental rugs purposely included a small mistake in the weaving. Maybe God does this too. Maybe it isn't a mistake at all but we are just too dense to get it. Maybe God enjoys occasionally hearing us say, "I don't know what to say."

I agree with you that it probably just means we can't know the details of something in advance.

Furthermore

On March 31st, 2011 Charles Fi... says:

I see that our beloved Carmen opened up her Heavenletter this morning and couldn't understand a single word. Unlike us with our ponderings and scratching of heads over one word, she regarded this as "fun". Perhaps there is a lesson in there somewhere.

I think she is our teacher,

On March 31st, 2011 Gloria Wen... says:

I think Carmen is our teacher, beloved Charles.

I am well aware of what is

On March 31st, 2011 Jochen (not verified) says:

I am well aware of what is so special and precious – and exemplary – about Carmen. Still I don't want to feel like a hairsplitter when I ask about the meaning of a word. If we don't know, what ist more obvious than saying so and leaving it at that whithout the added speculation that God could be imitating oriental rug weavers or wanting to keep us on our toes or that our asking might even be almost improper (if not "presumptuous" to quote a word I found in the latest issue of Heaven News).

In some earlier cases we have found that there was a simple confusion of similar-sounding words like "decry" and "descry". Something like that could be the case here, so why not simply ask and discuss it? If we don't find an explanation, fine.

I really was surprised to read the word "precluded" because what I had understood so far was quite the opposite. A few quotations:

Hope is like wishful thinking, and I have told you that your thoughts are powerful.
…
…be the horse reaching the winning line by a nose or a mile.
…
Trade in hope for certainty. Why not? Certainty costs no more.
…
What you desired was already on its way to you. Therefore, you thought to desire it. Then you helped it along.
…
Know that when your true love arrives, your thoughts were instrumental.
…
Know in your heart that when peace is declared, you brought it to the world's attention because you saw it coming.
…
You do not control life, yet you hold the reins — lightly.
…
Be bold in certainty..

And then comes The details of a precluded event you will not know.

I thought it was quite clear it can only mean something like, "The details of what is bound to happen because of your certainty you will not know." You can't help scratching your head in that situation, can you?

Jochen

On March 31st, 2011 Charles Fi... says:

Jochen, this place wouldn't be the same without you scratching your head and pointing out things no one else noticed. No slight intended at all, in fact quite the opposite. There is no one else to take your place.

no slight

On April 1st, 2011 Jochen (not verified) says:

Of course not, Charles. I might fall into slight in a moment of inattentiveness but not you.

One thing I sometimes feel

On March 31st, 2011 Gloria Wen... says:

One thing I sometimes feel is that it is all the rhythm of the words. As I say that, I don't know what I mean exactly, but that, somehow, the meaning may not be where Heavenletters are at. Maybe there is more to Heavenletters than the meaning, or maybe Heavenletters are whatever they say to our hearts. Maybe the heart of Heavenletters is their frequency. Maybe they are like a tuning fork.

I love your image of a

On March 31st, 2011 Normand Bo... says:

I love your image of a tuning fork. In fact, it is more than an image.
We tune ourself every day to the A of God like a piano is tuned before a concert, as an orchestra tunes with the violin.

What a nice way to start the day by tuning ourself.

Rhythm

On March 31st, 2011 Charles Fi... says:

God seems to have His own rhythm. I almost said peculiar rhythm, but it isn't really peculiar, and yet it is. I would be hard pressed to put it into words but it is how I recognize that it is God talking. Or how I recognize that it is not God talking. It has to do with poetry but not exactly. God sometimes talks about us singing His song. Probably the birds understand this better than I do.

I love that you went to the

On March 30th, 2011 Gloria Wen... says:

I love that you went to the Cosmic Generator. I didn't think of it!

You asked about the meaning of the word "precluded." I have to tell you that I had no idea. I couldn't even guess!

I looked it up and found this: ruled out in advance

Will you kindly post the whole paragraph and let's take a look and see what precluded means in the Stronger than Hope Heavenletter.

French.....my GodLetter came

On March 30th, 2011 Lynne (not verified) says:

French.....my GodLetter came in French today. How wonderful that these beautiful words are found around the world so that everyone can hear them. You are an inspiration.

Lynne, you have a winning

On March 30th, 2011 Gloria Wen... says:

Lynne, you have a winning attitude.

The responses from Heavenreaders were just wonderful.

"Lift up your head. Lift up your eyes. Life up your heart." How?

On March 30th, 2011 George Mon... says:

An ancient books says: "Lift up your head oh ye gates and be ye lifted up you everlasting doors, that the King of Glory can come in."

This is not doing something that opens up the door of your heart. It is being a Child of the King that does this grand thing. But, there is a BUT. In your inner person you have to know who you are, where you came to earth from, and be in tune with the music of Heaven.

Well, that excludes most people. No, no, no. It includes all people. Some are still dazed by their earth form to hear the Heavenly message. But in time everyone hears the love call of the "freeway of love." Reading Heaven Letters helps you steer your heart down this road of love.

George

including or not

On March 30th, 2011 Emilia says:

He is the All Inclusive One, so "He" necessarily includes the whole ( not people), but what you say, George, rightly say, excludes the majority. I think it was meant to be so. If it wasn't for a handful of great people who walked this earth, we would still clasp the club.

Dear George, ....and reading

On March 30th, 2011 Berit says:

Dear George,
....and reading your posts is beyond words.I love your heart.

This HL is stunningly loving!

On May 10th, 2011 Jim Keller says:

Not for one minute are you to forget love. Not for one minute are you to keep the lid on it. Oh, no. Set your love free. Set it free now once and for all. Unlock your heart and throw the key away.

This HL is tough love...but love could never be tough...then let us say that this HL contains an invitation that is impossible to refuse! So why not accept? I accept with all of the fiber of my being...to love in every moment...to allow the love to flow in every moment...to allow the love to free my soul...to be this love...to let love rule my life forever...to never, never hold this love back or try to contain ro restrain this love. To love everyone and everything in every single moment. I love love so much and I live to love so much and I love to live so much. It is not about "me" any more....thankfully!!!! I am so greatful (does that mean to be filled with the "greatness" of love...I think so!!!) I am so grateful as well...but I take away all of the grates...and turn the grates into gates so that love can really flow through...unimpeded...unblocked. Let love be a gusher and even a torrent...and even an ocean...and even a universe!!!! I love love. I love you...why?...cause you are love too! JJ ps....I am Love.
