When an Arrow Has Landed in Your Heart

God said:

On Earth, it is not that this one is right and that one is wrong. Of course, that's what you think. More often that the other is wrong and you are right. You are both right from individuated point of view. And you are both mistaken. You are not asked to be right. You are not asked to prove your rightness or anyone else's wrongness. You are asked to be gentle with your brothers and sisters. You are meant to be generous with the family of man on Earth. And all are your family.

So long as you take offense, so long as you read attack into another's words, it is unlikely that you can be generous and gentle. You take a military stance. You feel you are protecting your life's space. I once spoke of your being a lady or gentleman in all your interactions. It is not good manners to take offense at what is said around you. I am not asking you to fake good manners. I am asking you to come from a higher place than you may presently come from.

In all actions and reactions, people are revealing themselves. They are not revealing you. When others reveal hostility, they are directing it to themselves. Ultimately, this is how it is. They are trying to get rid of the hostility they carry by putting it on you. By the same token, when you see their swords of anger as directed at you, even as they evidently are pointed at you, then you also are revealing yourself and your own lack of self-love. Words do hurt you. When someone's words hurt you, have you not taken their hot potato as yours? They cannot really pass it on to you. Only as you accept it and take it as your own, can they.

If someone sees you as a bad guy, and you take it to heart, you have some doubts about yourself that another has rubbed you the wrong way, and now you are inflamed at the other. You are the one to take offense into your heart. Who said you had to?

You are right in this: No one has the right to hurt you, on whatever level you are hurt on. And you have no right to take offense, even when offense is meant. Someone who was hurt identified you as the cause of his hurt. And you have done just the same, identified another as the cause of your hurt.

It is not that you are to become thick-skinned. It is that you are not to be thin-skinned. You are not to buy, even for a moment, others' appraisals of you. You are meant to rise above where they would place you. Even when others mean to lay you low, you don't need to accept their lack of faith in themselves and make it your own.

Remember that I am your foundation. Others' perceptions are not. Have you made others' opinions your foundation? Have you made others your steering wheel? Are you not your own free-wheeling person free to accept what you wish to accept and free to not be swayed by what you don't want to be swayed by?

Accept what I tell you and not so much what others may say to you.

The time for hurt and hard feelings is over.

What foolishness it is for you to occupy your heart and mind with hurt and hard feelings. When an arrow has landed in your heart, intentionally or not, pull it out. It is your heart. And your heart is made for love and nothing but love. You can do it. You have to do it. Do it now. Pull out the bits and pieces that may be blocking your love right now.

GUARD YOUR HEART

Our hearts must be kept with all dilligence (vigilance), because out of it flow the springs of life.

What others throw against our heart cannot hurt us because our hearts are protected by God.

It´s possible to keep love and understanding, despite of turmoil around.

We must make a clear distinction between the heart and the world outside the heart.

God within is greater and stronger than the fiery arrows from outside.

Love protects while the unlove looks to destroy and steal.

Inside you there is One Who is greater than the entire world against you, and one with God, is the majority.

Timoteo

On Earth

"Positive thoughts by and large reap positive results. Negative thoughts the same. The use of the God-given power of thought created the flight to the Moon. Thought invented ballpoint pens and the conglomeration of the Internet that gives you access to My words now. Certainly, you didn't think your thoughts were powerless, did you? Your thoughts may be bound, but powerless? Never." fom HL 1401

What foolishness it is for you to occupy your heart and mind with hurt and hard feelings.

I am so thankful for the internet access to Your words, they can help me to change my life quite a bit. This HL is a very good one and it resonates with me just now.

When an arrow has landen in your heart.

Hi Gloria, there is always something special about your daily Heaven letters.
We learm from them important concepts.
Thank you for sharing them with us. and thank you, for taking your time to wisely instruct us.
Numi

Beloved Numi, these are

Beloved Numi, these are marvelous sometimes unexpected concepts in Heavenletters. I am instructed by them as well. They come to me as though whispered in my ear. These are not my words. I wouldn't be able to think of the topics let alone all the words!

It is God we thank! Heavenletters are not about any individual.

God bless you.

With love, Gloria

IT WAS DIFFICULT

It was hard even for me to think that Heavenletters are not from Gloria.

Once,I said: «thank you for teaching us». Ah, Gloria rebuked me with love and understanding.

NOW, I know that I know that all Heavenletters come from God directly.Gloria cannot change anything.She cannot interfere a bit.It is 100% as given.

Another aspect that make clear what I am saying is that these thoughts are God´s. Simplicity and sincerity belong to God.

Even the words are literally from God.It is not up to me to assess Gloria capacities and abilities but I feel that these thoughts and words are beyond Gloria´s thoughts and ways.

Of course that God has prepared the vessel for His glory.

Timoteo

An observation

This letter started me thinking of people I have known who clearly refuse to accept the criticisms and negative assessments of others concerning who they are and what they do. These folks have been rare in my life, but they have always been an inspiration. It is sometimes hard to comprehend how they might refuse to accept the criticisms of others; it is such an unusual thing. I guess I have always taken criticism to heart. From this letter, I see my way to a new resolve to better appreciate myself and my intentions and to learn to be more independent of the opinions of the world. As I am thinking of this now, another realization comes to me. It is usually not the criticisms of others that worry me the most, it is my imagined idea of the criticisms they might hold or may direct my way. What a lovely, useful letter!

I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH

Our ego can do only two things: attack or defend itself.
Why do we attack or defend ourselves or others?
Whenever we defend the ego we lose.

We should watch our reactions, feelings and thoughts as if if happened to another person.

On the other hand, we should be compassionate when someone destroys himself or herself with hatred and negative thoughts and feelings.

We are not our ego, why defend it?

I really enjoyed what you said Chuck

Beloved Timoteo, what a

Beloved Timoteo, what a powerful comment you made:

We are not our ego, why defend it?

Let Us dedicate Our mind-body outer shells to the Heart-Space Where God I AM Forever Abides. Thanks to God & Gloria for this Illuminating Heavenletter & thanks to you Timoteo for your simple but profound comment about ego.
