HEAVEN #2242  The Brink of Great Adventure

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between influences from the outside and resources within. Follow the resources within.

You do not have to tighten up and resist outside influences. You just don't have to mind them. Goodness knows, there are many influences that come at you from all sides. "Buy this, buy that. Do this, do that. This is the best thing for you. No, this is." All the while, the best thing for you is to heed your inner guidance.

Most everyone means well, beloved. Many or most are sincere about what they want you to try, but you also want to be sincere and not be beguiled by all that is presented to you.

You are all entitled to live your life as it feels right to you. No matter how right something feels to you, it does not have to be someone else's choice. Everyone has choice. You have choice. And you have to choose. You cannot eat all the food that is advertised. You cannot absorb all the knowledge that is offered. You cannot read all the books published. You have only two hands, two eyes, and one heart.

Let your heart lead. Lead with your heart.
Your heart is the ballast that keeps you on even keel.

You can love your friends, and still listen to your own heart. Your heart is within you in order for you to listen to it. Your heart has its own rhythm. Another's heart has a different beat to it. What does your heart say? Whatever the heart of the world says, you still have to listen to your own heart. It is the one I gave you. I must have given it to you for a reason. I didn't give it to you so that you would ignore it or downplay its importance. Your heart has important things to tell you, and you want to listen to what it says. It has messages for you that come from Me.

Be heartened, beloveds. Your heart is the encourager of your life. The mind, confused as it is, may discourage you. It may stomp on your dreams. All your dreams are for a reason. Dream them. You are your own self-fulfilling prophecy.

You are on the brink of great adventure. You hold the one ticket to it. No one else does. The wisest people in the world do not. Only you have the right ticket for you to get on board life and take off. No one's ticket is to be mixed up with someone else's. The tickets are all made exactly for the person they are meant for. They are exquisitely customized. Unique is your ticket. One of a kind. The one and only. Just as you are.

You who are Oneness are also unique in this world. There has never been anyone just like you before, and there never will be again. You are a unique voyager, and this is your voyage. Just get on the boat. Don't think about it so much. Live life more than you think about it. Don't wait until you have everyone's opinion. Don't even wait for everyone's good wishes. Make your own, and jump in the boat that has your name on it.

You are learning your one name so that you may know yourself.

What is your life about? Dive in and find out. Do not seek to know ahead of time. Just know that the water is fine, and that you will dive, and you will swim.

HEAVEN #2241  Love Generously

THIS ABOUT LOVE and attachment is very tricky for My beloved children. Any condition you make reveals attachment. Any outcome you desire and insist on comes from attachment. Have the desire and let go of it at the same time. Love will free others from having to fulfill your needs and wants.

This does not mean making a doormat of yourself. It is not your love at any cost to you. It is love without cost to you or anyone. I have told you that love is an intention. Have the intention now to love without requirements. You can love from near or afar. Let your love be placed as a removable sticker and not as a tattoo.

No one is to be indebted to your love. Your love is to run freely, and it is to be free. No one has to pay for it. Love is just supposed to be given. Perhaps this is a more impersonal love, not a love that has to be requited, not a love that you think your well-being is dependent on.

Whatever cloying love may do to another, the crux is what it does to you, beloved. When you attach your love, you are saying that another is responsible for the love in your heart. You are saying you have to have their love. Beloveds, you have to have the love in your own heart, and you have to have Mine. My love is enough for all of us, of course, yet when you make your love dependent upon another's love or demonstration of love, then you have blocked your own love. When you block your own love, you can be sure you block another's love for you. You tighten the screws, as it were.

As you love today, love generously and do not glue your love to anyone. Let your love and their love fall as lightly as butterflies' wings. Love is not to be locked in, for then it is made a prisoner. There are to be no bars and no chains to love.

Every day release your attachment to your loved ones the way you would let go of balloons and see them rise up into the sky. Let your love rise, beloveds.

No one has to love in any way but the way they do, and their love does not have to be locked in. In fact, love let free is more likely to find its way back to you. You have freed it to come back. Letting love go makes it easier for love to be requited.

Love does not like to be commanded nor demanded. Love does not like to be told what it must and must not do. Love is not a will-o-the-wisp, and yet it is not to be cemented in. You are unattached to love, and you let others' love also be unattached. Love must choose its own destination. Love must be allowed to surf as it wishes. Love has a mind of its own. Love - yours or another's - is not a horse to be reined in.

You may think that loving without attachment is restraining your love. No, you are restraining your attachment to love and therefore letting love fly. You are truly freeing love, making more of it, not less.

No one has to call you today. No one has to email you today. No one has to send you flowers. There is no one you have to hear from. Your love is not dependent upon anyone but you, beloveds. Love is. Just let it be what it is without interference. Just love without holding on. Just love. Just love.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gloria Wendroff always loved reading, writing, and inspiration, but she never gave much thought to God - let alone dreamed that a time would come when she would hang on to every word of the Best Storyteller of All. Not until after forty-two years of wandering did she become conscious of a desire for God. Then it was another twenty more before she began to hear a whisper. Now, looking back, she can see a tiny hint here or there but nothing to prepare her for what was to come.

After teaching creative writing, English, ESL, and business communications, writing boundary-breaking resumes and a monthly job advice column for many years, she learned and taught meditation, traveled Europe, studied in Thailand and India, and discovered God back in America. Of all the messengers along the way, two were movies! One was a photograph. At least one was a book. And, of course, many, many were people. There was no one great epiphany. There were many great ones and some little ones. But, suddenly - ah, there was God. Ever since Gloria discovered God, she has been receiving and sending out God's words every day via email, giving free readings of God's words across the country, getting God's personal answers for people who want them, helping others dare to do their own Godwriting? in workshops, making CD's, and getting Heavenletters, Love Letters from God, Book One, published - all with an ear to the Still Small Voice and bringing earth closer to Heaven.
