Gloria:

Dear God, what would You like to tell us this morning?

God:

There is one thing I always tell you, and that is My love for you. You are My joy, and it is My joy to bring you ever closer to Me, to My heart, to your joy and knowledge of your own heart and being, and this is where you find Me.

All your life is search for the Indweller.

You hunt Me as though I were an escapee. As though I could ever leave you. As though I were a fugitive, a wanderer, a displaced person.

But you look at Me as you look at yourself.

Without My known companionship, you are a wanderer, a fugitive, a displaced person. No, not that you are, but that you feel you are.

Without Me, you feel that your journey in life is a wasted trip, that there is no destination of account, that where you travel is meaningless because it is from one stop to another and could just as well have been from other points on the map, for what is the difference when you think you don't have Me? Then you think I am as senseless as you!

I understand you very well. I am like the loyal dog who follows your every step, whose mind and thought occupy only thoughts of you, and who awaits your return with joyous anticipation.

In truth, you cannot understand Me. Your mind is too filled with questions, while your heart beats the answers.

The heart knows its way to Me.

The heart is a bloodhound, a tracker, a sighter.

Your heart is the jewel in your crown.

Follow your heart because your heart follows Me.

Reawaken your heart. Tell your mind to step back, to get out of the way, to disband its figuring out activity.

The human intellect is a hunting dog without legs.

The heart is a white charger that gallops over the fields. The heart is your flag. The heart is your champion.

Your heart is so close to Me that there is not a hairbreadth's distance. In fact, My heart and your heart are indistinguishable because My heart resides in the core of yours. I am the Heart of hearts.

I am also your voice, the volume and frequency set by the heart. You are My voice because I speak through you.

Remember Who I am, and What I am to you, and what you are to Me, and We will adventure together into a new thread of life never pulled before.

Your life is an unwinding string of My heart.

Your life is My drum roll.

Your life is My thought performed.

You are My thought, and you perform yourself.

I offer you the candy-server of life. You reach out your hand, take as much as you want, eat, reach out for more.

A perpetual candy-dish I offer you. You pick as you choose. You choose as you pick.

Some of My offerings you drop along the way. Sometimes you don't want to reach out your hand. Sometimes you say you don't need anything I offer.

But I offer still, and I offer now. I offer you a cup of life, and I ask you to drink well, for I have given it to you.

Gloria:

Dear God, You are a perpetual Fountain of Love. I am so grateful.

God:

Who is it that is grateful? Is grateful an emotion? Is it a reflection of true thought? Is it your heart strings strumming in harmony with Mine?

I think grateful is a certain understanding, a realization of a connection so sweet that it has only poor names for it.

Appreciation? A grasping of what is.

Grateful? A heart overturns.

Joy? Acceptance of fullness.

Love? Everything combined. All the colors of the heart running in the same direction, lickety-split, to Me.

Gloria:

Dear Mother Divine, this morning I faced a blank page with no questions in my mind to ask, and God fills the pages with more than I could ever ask!

Mother Divine:

That is the relationship between God and His children.

Even questions try to direct God — or correct Him! The one question is: "God, what do You have to tell us?" or, "God, what is Your Will?"

When you ask God about this and that, you are trying to control. Your questions are a tactful way to steer God.

This does not mean to stop asking your questions. You must. Your questions tell God where you are, and He responds happily to where you are.

Your questions are limited, but His answers are not.

When a bright four-year-old asks why the sky is blue, you would answer according his understanding, would you not?

Gloria:

Yes, but I don't know the answer to why the sky is blue.

Mother Divine:

How would you answer?

Gloria:

I would say because it's beautiful.

Mother Divine:

And that would be a good answer. And if you did know more about the subject, and a bright college student asked you, you would have a more comprehensive answer, yes?

Gloria:

Yes.

Mother Divine:

The point is, you would always answer as best you could to the level of the questioner.

Now, I want to tell you something. Simple questions give God a wider range in His answers. The more brilliant, complicated the question, the more limiting.

Find questions in your heart. You won't find clever questions there, trick questions there, ambiguous questions there, loaded questions there. You will find a wondering heart looking for greater proximity to God.

God nor I judges your question. And He will answer all.

I recommend that you have questions that are real to your heart and thus matter to your core rather than intellect.

Oh, don't evaluate your questions much. This is not to hamper you in asking but rather to set your heart in a God direction.
