What If

Calling Heavenletters a blessing is the biggest understatement there is. History, for me, is before Heavenletters and since. They state nothing new. They usher in the oldest of the old. The primordial freedom they offer is more than I am able to grasp and more than I can take for now. But God is teaching me to take His freedom which is being which is peace which is love, and I am learning.

What I love most about Heavanletters, the epitome of this freedom, is God's "What if". It bursts all barriers and boundaries. I knew I would start writing about it one day. I did not know yesterday it was going to be today.

With His "What if", God is leading me down the long and dark seeming corridor of this life, opening never before noticed doors right and left, proudly and with a smile and a flourish presenting wild and vast vistas of a paradise brimming with everything big and small that was ever deemed so hard to come by as to be virtually impossible – impossible enough to write off those dreams until they were hardly remembered and God had to resort to writing.

There is no path to freedom (or whatever name your utopia may have); it is as far away as God's "What if" and my ability to use the crack it momentarily creates...

The deepest "What if" I have seen so far, one that does not even have the exact expression but makes me start shaking as soon as I think of it, is this:


If you were to speak words for Me, what would you have Me say through you?


http://www.heavenletters.org/goldenness.html

What would I have God say through me? That's not difficult. I would, in some form, have Him confirm that my ultimate longing and everyone's ultimate longing is always already fulfilled and only needs to be claimed. This passage made it clear to me that God's "What if" is about imagination, imagining our deepest and most unrealistic dreams to be our truth and our reality and learning to feel more and more confident that, in fact, they are and do not even have to be worked for.

I may write more on this particular what if one day, I'm not sure. But there are so many more beautiful what ifs, and I would like to share them all. What I would like even more is for you to share something in Heavenletters that makes you feel, if only for a moment, that everything is possible, everything. There is a sigh I sometimes heave, and then I laugh. It says: "Dear God, help me end my realism."

Here is another what if I would like to share with you today. Since I have talked so much already, I chose one that I hope speaks for itself.


What if your heart weren’t looking for results? What if your heart simply beat the tune it beats. What if your heart simply adores what it adores without thought of a future, without thought of what someone else may think, without thought of return, without thought of gain, simply without thought. What if your heart were allowed to say what it feels and to be what it is.

Beloved Jochen, this is so

Beloved Jochen, this is so very beautiful. You brought me near to tears, for I felt all the dreams we have lost before we even dreamed them because we thought we could not. Please continue this.

the Gift of Love

Thank you, Jochen, for sharing. I appreciate very much.

I would have God say through me that we are all safe in His mouth! Yes, I like the image of mother crocodile, holding with such delicacy her babies in her mouth, so does God with us, His generation.

This is my "something" in Heavenletters that make me feel that ALL is possible:
"Holy Child of Mine", "Divine Child of God", "You are the apple of My eyes", "You are the fruit of My vine", "My beloved beloved", "You are My Generation".
I am the beloved daughter of the King of Kings!!! He will give me His Entire Kingdom for this is His Wish and His Delight!
Whenever I really grasp this, for just a moment, I see myself falling to my knees in speechless overwhelming gratitude.

So lovely. So simple. Isn't

So lovely. So simple. Isn't it amazing how simple things are in the depth of our hearts?

This is powerful

I agree with Gloria, Jochen, that is a beautiful and very helpful post. The way you focus on “what if” is very powerful. It is completely in line with the Heavenletters spirit of moving beyond and dissolving our usual boundaries. “What if?” ignites our imagination in productive and positive ways, breaking down our resistance to all the good that God has there waiting for us to allow it to enter our lives. I would say it is like a “get out of jail free” card in a monopoly game, only we have a potentially infinite supply to use any time we choose.

I am not sure, but I wonder how widely read the “general stuff” forum is and how many people get the new posts on this forum in their emails. What I am getting at is that this post may be a great guest blog topic for Gloria’s Godwriting blog, if I am right that his would greatly increase its exposure to the readership.

Thank you, Jochen, for all your posts. I always find them quite enlightening and helpful.

peeling the onion

And so we keep on peeling our onion, layer after layer, until finally at the core there is God, smiling and saying: "I told you so, after all there is only One of Us!"
