What Good Fortune Would You Like Today?

Heavenletter #3105 Published on: May 26, 2009

God said:

Beloveds, as best you can, stay away from assumptions. Assumptions are really hasty judgments. You make hasty assumptions all too often. Someone makes a remark, and you feel the remark means that the person doesn't like you. You make assumptions that something is the matter when nothing is the matter except your perception.

When you receive your bank statement, you may at the first instant assume that the bank made an error, or you may at the first instant assume that you made an error. You may even assume that all errors are yours. Do not be so quick. That there is an error at all may entirely be your assumption and incorrect.

You know what assumptions are, and you know you make them, sometimes to your dismay. Assumptions are certainly not to your credit.

Your assumptions frequently lead to a call to arms. Your shackles go up. You put your mental fists up. You have retaliatory thoughts.

It is better that, when it comes to assumptions, that you are not so on your toes. Be derelict when it comes to assumptions.

If you must come from assumption, come from the assumption that all is well and that you are loved. Let that be the conclusion you draw ahead of time. Be prepared for love and not conflagration.

When you make unhappy assumptions, you light a fire under your heart, and you sear your heart. Don't do that to your heart, your beautiful heart of Mine.

If you can easily think that there is bad news, can you not just as easily think that there is good news?

I will give you an assignment. Think of all the events you would welcome today. Have them on your mind.

Think about how everyone you meet today will smile at you. Think of the checks that will arrive in the mail. Think of the invitations to happiness that will reach you. What will they look like? What might they be? What good fortune would you like today? Give good fortune to yourself in your thoughts.

Assume the well-being that is yours. Assume that your way through today is paved with gold. Assume that the Universe is at your disposal. Assume that the Universe looks for every opportunity to fill your heart and give you blessing after blessing. Assume that the Universe wants everything to go your way and will go to great lengths to serve you.

Of happy healthy assumptions, you cannot have too many. One unhappy assumption, well, one is too many.

If you are to be mistaken about an assumption, let it be a favorable assumption that you are mistaken about. At least you will be setting up the odds in your favor.

Why live through the suffering of a negative assumption twice! If it happens, when it happens, once is enough. There is no need for a sneak preview of it.

Yes, the importance of your thoughts. Let the stream of your thoughts be a canoe ride down a merry river. Why would you want to make the stream of your thoughts go down a muddy road? Keep your eye on where you're going and what you want. Keep your eye off the unwanted that may or may not appear. Patterns of life can be changed. Beloveds, you must change the unwanted stirrings of thought. Change their format. Change your thoughts, and your life is changed. Give a new pattern of thinking a chance to flourish.

Nourish the thoughts that bring you joy. Let go of the thoughts that disturb you. What do you need disturbing thoughts for?

the importance of your thoughts

On May 26th, 2009 Emilia says:

"Keep your eye on where you're going and what you want". It seems that simple and it is so difficult. But what strikes me today is a feeling that I couldn't qualify as good or bad. God always tells us about our divine identity, our power, the bright destiny we are creating for ourselves, but today I hear Him also saying:"My dearest I do not exist". It is strong to say, but it is the deep realization that we are God and that we have to answer to our prayers, there is nobody outside. That is why this message is extremely important, "change your thoughts" and you will give yourself what you ask, I cannot.

Angel Emilia, I too hear God

On May 26th, 2009 Gloria Wen... says:

Angel Emilia, I too hear God tell us to change our thoughts and that we are more powerful than we know. I do not hear him say that He cannot give us what we want. God can do anything! I do not hear Him say He doesn't exist! He exists everywhere! Even within us.

Loving you,

Gloria

I daresay not "even within

On May 26th, 2009 Emilia says:

I daresay not "even within us", but "only within us".
Loving you too.

Ah!

Ah!

please - please

Please, dearest, would you arrange in other way "daresay" ? I can't find in my dictionary. Thank you

Daresay

Pitta, hon, daresay is a way of saying "I dare to say" or "I venture to say" or even "In my opinion" Hope this helps, love....Chuck

I remember

On May 26th, 2009 pitta says:

Dear Emilia,

I remember very well when once in my life I heard a voice tell me: Renounce to Me. Great was my consternation. Immediatly I understood exactly what you say: there is nobody outside. Then followed a long period with confusion in my mind: I felt myself alone. Nobody outside! Nobody to call for a help! How could I do?
Then time rolled over and I understood He isn't ourside but everything is in His hand and He can arrange everything.
What is impossible to the God hand?

I love so much every comment of you. With love. Pitta

The existence of God

On May 26th, 2009 Chuck Gebh... says:

Dearest Emilia and Pitta, I, too, following Gloria would describe you both as angels ;-) The train of thought I think I hear you both describing is one that has bothered me also. My resolution is that God is not saying that He doesn't exist, He is saying He doesn't exist independent of me. He is both within me and everywhere else.

When He tells me that me that I can accomplish whatever I conceive, this also doesn't seem to leave Him any role in my life. I see this as mistaken, too, as all my power is from Him, He actually does it all. It is even through His power that I accomplish my mistakes. I just often imagine that I do what I do independently. Loving you, too.....Chuck

In the Heavenletter "God"

On May 27th, 2009 Emilia says:

In the Heavenletter "God" you have previously commented, dear Chuck, it is written:"The whole story of creation is I AM. Say I AM". In saying I AM I affirm I am the whole creation, which is to say that there is nobody outside. There is not a God we have to pray and ask for help, we have to help ourselves and that is why we have Heavenletters. If God could do anything from his throne there would be no need for such a teaching. My understanding is that He can do nothing that we do not want. God has never stopped all the sufferance men have believed in. We are creating Heaven, we are creating our "enlightenment", He is not bestowing them to us. Loving you, dearest Chuck and your comments and loving you too, dearest Pitta.

What good fortune would I like today?

Yes, Beloved Maestro of Love, Prime Creator of good fortune, this letter to us today really hit home. I have truly been making assumptions that I am unworthy. So, lately I have surely been walking along on a muddy road, instead of allowing myself
to ride down a merry river, as you would much rather have it be for me. .

So this Heavenly Letter is now a wake up call for me. I want so desperately to change
these unnecessary and unwanted stirrings of thought. I have forgotten that you have
given me your angels to lift me up, angels who can allow me to have some peace of
heart. Lately, just as you have stated in this glorious Letter, I must today be determined
to allow a new pattern of thinking a chance to flourish. I have lately been allowing
dark assumptions to light a fire under my heart, AND I HAVE BEEN SEARING MY HEART, THIS WONDERFUL HEART OF DIVINE THAT YOU HAVE GIVE ME. I DON'T
WANT TO SEAR IT ANOTHER DAY. I LOVE YOU!

Thank you always for your

Thank you always for your uplifting expressions of God's love.

Today

Today was a terrible day. It begun not good and unroll worse. Then I read the today' Letter and begun to see all the ways I went paved with gold. Everything was golden, not golden light, real gold. I saw every step leaned on golden way, every person I met with a golden smile and so on. Well, my limited English can't explain the result. Incredible!!!
Everything was gonna be ok, my friend who was hurry with me (do you remember, Chuck?) today has spoke to me! Every person I met had for me incredible smile. My soul was relax and I found peace. I don't want speak about a system to get better the life. I want speak about the power of God and His words. The wonderfull power to reach each other.
Tomorrow morning I will repeat to me:
