Beautiful Light-Maker

by Gloria Wendroff -

Be a light unto the world. It is not for you to wait for the world to light you up. You are the one I sent to light up the world. Be the light of the world. Light up yourself and you will erase darkness from one heart to another.

You are My beautiful Light-maker.

 Let Us speak of light today and save the word love for another day. You are an angel of light, nothing else. Your status as a human being is temporary.

For a while, you stand in as a human being. Even so, your real status is Being of Light. You are a sun that grows brighter and brighter. The essence of you is My light. What else can the light of the world be but My light shining for all to see.

Succor the world. Uplift it. Start with yourself. When you uplift yourself, you uplift legions.

Life is not so much about you. You are about the world and beyond. A messenger delivers the messages he has been given to deliver. The messenger is not thinking: "What do I feel like doing at this moment? Where do I want to be? What do I want?"

A messenger delivers the messages he is given to deliver, and he delivers them in good grace. He knows that he is for more than himself. It is too small for a Messenger of God to think of himself. He has messages to deliver, and this is what he takes into his heart, and this is what he gives. He leaves his consigned messages everywhere, and, so, he lights up the world.

What a tremendous thing light is.

Nothing but light is real. And so a Messenger of God gets real. He removes his sweater and lets My light so shine before men. It is not his personal light you understand. This is not charisma We are talking about. This is not a personal magnetism. A Messenger of God is not ensconced in himself. Ensconced in oneself lies not happiness.

A Messenger of God seeks happiness for others, for that is his purpose.

• He lays down the red carpet for others and opens the Universe for them. 
• He helps them to lie down in green pastures. 
• He comforts their souls. 
• He addresses their souls. 
• He is a speaker of hearts. 
• He opens hearts, and so he multiplies the Light of God. 
• He is in service to all. His cry is We and never me. 
• He plays an enormous role in the unification of the world. 
• He knows Whose Crown he wears. It is not for his aggrandizement. 
• He gives the crown he wears to all. He doffs his crown to, and so he sheds the Light of God, not on his singular behalf but on behalf of the world and all its members.
• He does not dally. He enjoys, but he does not dally. 
• He doesn't search except as he seeks to give, and so he gives universally. 
• He whirls a thunderbolt of light, and it lands neither here nor there but everywhere. 

This is what it means to be the Light of the World.

Everyone picks up the light, and everyone becomes the Light of the World and then the world is light and all hearts are light and Blessing is thy name for you give light, are glad to give light without thought of your own glory but for the sake of Mine and all those other Beings of Light that you gladly light up.

And so, who is there to thank, who is there to single out when all are light and light is all. Certainly not your individual self, for what matters to you is the God Self of all the Lights in the World upon which you shine your light

You and Today

by Gloria Wendroff -

Ignorance is not bliss but innocence is. 

Innocent, you are happy. What does innocence mean? It means you are not caught up in the past. It means you look at everything with new eyes, not old. In innocence, your eyes are bright and your face merry.

When away from innocence, you are looking at the past and in so doing, you are also weighing the future. The past and future exist in your mind. The present isn't really a midpoint between the two.

Right now is where you and your mind and thoughts belong. 

You are receiving a meal right now. Yesterday's supper is over and tomorrow's has not been made yet. Do you really want an old menu or a future one? You really want to be served in the diner of today.

Would you rather flip through old photos than live today? You can dream the future, yet there are no photos of tomorrow.

Of today, of course, you can take pictures, yet you can draw on the slate of life for this moment only. Second by second, this slate is wiped clean.

Today, even in its brevity, is more valuable than yesterday. 

You may have had gold yesterday, yet it is today that lands in your lap. It is today you mold. The gold of yesterday is no longer pliable. What you have in your hand is today and all it offers you.

The world holds sorrow because it holds attachment to the past. You are attached to what was. Each new day is not meant to be held in hostage to the past nor is each new day meant to be forfeited for tomorrow.

Fresh is better. Fresh cream is better. Fresh butter is better. Fresh from the oven is better. Eat now.

The past is already stale. It is no more. Only in your thoughts was there ever a past. What are memories really? They are like bank robbers who rob you of today.

There is not really a today. 

There is a moment that you parcel out into partitions of time and call a day. Time, of course, does not really exist. Time doesn't even really exist on the recorders of time such as your watch. Your watch knows nothing about time. There is nothing to know.

The past is a still photo. The minute it was taken, what it was taken of has already moved on.

Catching this moment is like catching a butterfly. The butterfly flies away. It moves too fast for you. And when you catch it, it is not a free-flying butterfly any longer. A butterfly caught is immobilized.

It is the liveliness of a butterfly in flight that you really want, and that can't be captured, you understand. Certainly a pressed butterfly is of the past and has no liveliness of its own. Let your eyes catch butterflies as they fly past you.

This is how you catch a day. 

You don't really catch it. You can only move with it. 

You follow the sun of the day. And when it is nighttime, you follow the light of the stars or you follow the moon or is it the moon that follows you?

What does it matter all this when you, a vibrant Being, are an offering to the day, the same way the day is offered to you? You and today are a twosome.

Dance together as you have never danced before.

The World, Your Canvas

by Gloria Wendroff -

If I were to express Myself as you often express yourself, you might hear Me say that I am alone in the wilderness and no one hears My pleas. You would never hear Me say that, feel that, think that. Do you yourself sometimes feel that way?

My one plea is that you hear Me. When you hear Me, you receive love. You acknowledge the love you receive. I tell you frankly, nothing can withstand My love.

I am well aware of how world life appears to you — often loveless. There is no such thing as lovelessness. The appearance of lovelessness exists. Yet, in other things, you know that appearances are not always so. Now I am telling you that the appearance of lovelessness is not true. The appearance is only an entertainment of focus.

There is something in My children that wants to be opposed to something. A tug-of-war holds an attraction to you. You like to lament the world. You may say you do not like to lament the world. If that were true, My beloveds, then why do you?

Why is the world held up as an object of scorn? Why do you knock it about in your conversations? Must you take the world in your hands, as it were, and shake it and scold it, knock it down, and cast it off as unworthy of you?

You have thought the world is to dance to your tune, that it had better straighten up and please you to a greater extent than it has until now. Then you will love it. Before you will love the world, you make conditions.

I say to love the world now. Love it with abandon. 

It is My creation. There is plenty in My creation to favor. Start putting your arms around the world now. Start putting leis around its neck.

Bless the World

Treat the world as well as you treat your horse. Do not kick the world. Give it a hand up. Bless the world. It needs your blessings. It is starved for your blessings. Heap your blessings on the world. Do not leave it to someone else. You are to serve the world as you would have it serve you.

Be noble to the world. 

You come from nobility, beloveds. Treat the world as it craves to be treated. No longer gossip about the world and how it has infringed on you. It has. I know that. Would you rather continue to complain about the state of affairs, or would you rather lift the world higher? What is it you really want?

I adjure you to show the world how it is to be. 

Show the world what it is to look like. Give the world another picture of itself. Be an artist. Be a spokesperson. Give the world a nice word or two.

You want the world to honor you. So honor the world, and it will reciprocate. Give the world an inch of appreciation and it will give you a mile. Do not bite the hand that feeds you. Say thank you.

How many times have I told you to get out of the past? Where can complaints come from but from the past? Do you want to hold the world in its checkered past or do you want to free the world?

What matters from the past when there is a canvas in front of you now for you to paint on? Well, what do you want?

Be glad 

Perhaps when you get up in the morning, you can remind yourself what you are glad for. That would be a worthy reminder.

If you stub your toe getting out of bed, instead of cursing, be glad you can get up. Be glad you have a toe. Be glad there is a world spread before you and that you are alive in it and can make the world as you will simply by letting go of its past.

Longing for Love

by Gloria Wendroff - 

Sometimes your heart drowns in its longing for love. Longing replaced the love. Now replace the longing with love itself. Let your heart soar in love.

From this day forward, speak in the silent language of love, and your heart will fill itself and overflow all boundaries.

Previously, you relegated your love to the corners. You made your heart go to its room and stay there, as if it needed to learn how to behave, when all it needed was to be allowed to love with all its might. You, only you, have withheld love from your heart. You alone denied the love in your heart.

You thought your heart was an insurgent, perhaps an animal of the wild. Perhaps you thought you were to tame it. All the while, your heart was meant to tame you.

Submit to the love in your heart, and all the love you crave will flourish in your heart and stream forth. There is no need for your heart to ache. Love is yours.

You have been shy and embarrassed by the love in your heart. You gave it instructions to be less noticeable. You've hidden it with straw. Your heart wanted to play so much, you were afraid for it. And so you sentenced it to tightness.

When you tightened your heart and prevented it from loving everywhere at will, you hardened it. To one degree or another, you hardened your heart. Your heart was never meant to be hard. Your heart was meant to be soft, and to soften other hearts.

Your heart was a cub that went everywhere, loved everywhere, found adventure everywhere. Your heart was a pioneer intended to lead the way. Only, after a while, your vibrant heart found that you were not following. Then it sat down and cried.

The heart knew its purpose was to love. It knew its purpose was not to sit by the wayside, hitchhiking love.

Why, your heart knew it was the originator of love, the giver of love, the heir to love, the crowned prince of love, now consigned to sitting with its hand out, disguised as a beggar, a straggler, shrouded in shadow, as if love were an uncomely thing. That is indeed something to weep over. The end to the reign of the heart is to weep over.

Come now, take love out and place it on your mantelpiece. 

Let it be the first thing that is seen when another heart enters your house. Let love be the first thing that is seen when other saddened eyes alight on yours. Hide love no longer.

Make your heart and the hearts of others privileged guests. Give them the seat of honor. Never mind the packages hearts come in. Hearts matter, not the packaging.

The core of all hearts matters, the beautiful seeds of love or iris bulbs waiting for the sun to bring them out of the earth. Yes, your heart is an iris waiting to be let out of its encasing. Seeds and bulbs of love lie dormant in your heart.

Wear your heart on your sleeve. Everyone has a heart. Why would My children try to hide one heart from another? Love is not a secret you can keep. Less than love is only a pretense, a subterfuge.

It is My love in your heart that you have refused to shine. It is not your own heart you refrain from. It is not your own love that you knot. It is Mine. Let My love flow in your heart now.

Sunrise of Your Heart

by Gloria Wendroff - 

Your heart is a beautiful sun meant for all to see like a sunrise. 

The sun of your heart can be covered up and yet it continues to shine its light. You can cover up your love as clouds cover the sun, yet the clouds do not stop the sun. The clouds do not even touch it. The sun shines regardless of what is superimposed upon it.

The sun of your heart shines the same no matter how many fences and moats and shades of night do their cover-up.

You might as well give up on hiding the fullness of your heart. 

Cover-up is a lost cause. Like make-up, it washes off. Go ahead and use make-up if it makes you happy, yet how well you know that dimming the sun of your heart makes you unhappy. You may dress your heart in varied costumes of haute couture or rags and all the styles in between.

Nevertheless, the sun of your heart is undaunted. The love within you will shine through, and it will be as good as new. It will be as fresh as a daisy. It never grows old, not even cold no matter how much ice you store in your heart.

Your heart is going to shine so brightly that you will know that your heart had been parading in poor costumes. The veils over love will disappear, and there will be the sunshine of all the love in your heart that I put there.

 All that love of yours will burst through all the bonds. Your heart will not be sullied. It will not be worse for wear.

The muscles of your love are always growing and they will flex and break the pitiful shackles and disguises you have put on your love.

The sunlight of your love will burst through. Say when. Say when now.

Oh, what a radiant sun you have concealed in your heart! You have perpetrated a fraud with the lesser emotions. You called them real and loved the imposters. All the while, you had it all backwards.

What is anger but a cover-up of love? 

What is fear? What is dislike? You feel the contrast of the lesser emotions with the love in your heart. The lesser emotions are more fired up and so you call the lesser emotions true and the land you call love far-fetched or even lost, as if the sun of your heart can stay in the dark long or be missing.

You know how to sweep a room and dust off furniture. Sweep the dross out of your heart. 

Clean your heart like a mirror and look into it. 

See the sunlight sparkle. Remove the particles that hide your light. Pick out old hurts and dislikes. Use tweezers if you must or a spoon and get them out. Make way for the sun, for you are to shine it. Love is not a costume nor is it jewelry, yet do wear the sun of your love like a diamond.

Your love is a diamond. Bare your heart. Your heart has nothing more to do than to be seen. 

If you at present cannot seem to see the brilliance of your love, then make sure to give it and you will see it reflected in the light of others' eyes.

Perhaps your love has been like a fire that has been burning long, and certain overlays have made the fire smoky, leaving ashes and residue that interfere with the fire's natural ability.

Remove the soot. Clean that chimney. Too much residue from the past has been kept there. Return your heart to its original luster.

Get going on it now. This is heart-cleaning day.

Free As a Bird

by Gloria Wendroff - 

Heavenletters:

You may have thought that life is about accumulating when, all the while, life is about letting go. Give way to life. Give away all you hold to you. Wean yourself away from your possessions. You are not your possessions. You are so much more.

Have joy from what passes through your hands. Holding is not pleasure, for it is yourself you hold prisoner. Let go of the idea of ownership. It is a mistake. All is owned by all, therefore, nothing is possessed.

Owning separates. Not owning joins. You have free will when you don’t own. When you own, the dependence upon the physical takes away your free will. You may think you live alone or for yourself alone, but you have adopted a couch, a chair, a kitchen, a pool. You have adopted a way of life that may be holding you back.

Take good care of what is in your care. 

Polish the furniture and bless it, but own it? No, for then it owns you. Is it not said that you lay your treasures up in Heaven? Beloveds, it’s clear you can’t take that oil painting with you. What you cannot take with you, you don’t have to have now. You don’t have to have it later. You don’t have to have it at all. You can walk through a museum, leave all the paintings there and own them all. Life takes place in your mind, beloveds.

You own your thoughts and feelings.

It isn’t that you aren’t to have any belongings. It is your dependency on them that you are not to have. They are not to mean so much to you. They are not to hamper you. They are not to keep you in place. Owning things tends to keep you in place. Possessions hamper you. They tether you like an elephant. Be untethered.

You have sometimes asked that you be free as a bird. 

Birds carry nothing with them, oh, perhaps a worm or twig or two. They build a nest, and then they leave it without a backward glance. The birds do not think: “Oh, my beautiful nest. My eggs were hatched here. How can I leave?” The birds were meant to build their nest, and they were meant to leave it.

Now is meant to mean now, not the past, not the future. Now is now.

What do you want to be remembered by? 

Your oriental rug? The color of your living-room wall? The designer shoes you bought? You know better, beloveds. You know better. Stay away from attachment in the first place. If you must feel attached to something, then be attached to Me.

I will never lead you astray. I will lead you to green pastures. 

I will lead you away from what you believe you own and then you will own the Universe.

The more you own, the more you own. The more you collect, the more you collect. The more you let go of possessions, the more you let go of grudges. Did you not know that holding on is holding on? As you hold on to physical possessions, so do you hold on to grudges.

There is a parallel. With everything you give away, you gain yourself. 

Then you will even give away your self, the huddled self, the little self, and then you will gain the Greatness that you were meant to be and already are. You will really know all that you are as soon as all the debris that you thought was treasure no longer owns you.

Elevating the World

by Gloria Wendroff -

Today We will pay attention to your view of the world. You know by now that as you think, so thinks the world. It is also the reverse. The world has influenced you considerably. Your relationship with the world has been reciprocal. 

As goes the world, so go you. As you go, so goes the world.

Yes, I understand that as a child, you were totally innocent. We could even say that you were the prey of world thought. But now, as an adult, the roles have changed.

The world is vulnerable to you. It is at your mercy. You can keep the world the way it has been, or you can inspire and uplift it. 

You are already keeping the world in place or you are changing it. It is your choice.

You may well not have been conscious of your importance. You may even have shrugged your shoulders and said, "What can I do? Who can fight City Hall? This is the way the world is and will always be. I am as powerless as a fish on the line. There's nothing I can do." Have you not shrugged your shoulders and thought such thoughts?

Now you are conscious that you can turn the world around. 

Not by barging in and ordering it. Not by fighting. Not by insistence. Not by pointing out the long list of details of its wrongs. Not by shooting bullets. There is only one way to change the world and that is by how you think of it.

Raise your thoughts and affection for the world, and you will be lifting the world a notch. 

As you change how you focus on the world, you will be changing it. Yes, you. Your attention on the world will make all the difference in the world. Somehow your thoughts are known. Your thoughts are like the cues that are given to actors in a play. You feed the world its lines. You present a picture of the world and it goes by your picture.

When you do this, you are really catching two birds with one stone. By changing your thoughts, you also are changed. Your thoughts have vibrations. Raise your thoughts and your vibration goes up. It is sort of like getting higher scores on a test because of the way you apply yourself.

As best you can, not even once more complain. No more complaints. Don't say them out loud to anyone. 

Don't listen to others when they gripe about the state of affairs either because you will be affected. Your vibration will sink. Beloveds, there is a world of difference in you according to the songs you sing and the songs you listen to. 

Why sing a dirge when you can sing a ballad? Why curse when you can say nothing? Why listen to anyone else who may be badmouthing the world or anyone or anything? Are you with Me?

You most likely have convinced yourself that you are of no importance. You have likely believed that you have no say about circumstances and events. You have likely believed that you have no vote, or that your vote doesn't count. 

The truth is that you have great power. The world may not count your vote, yet how you view the world counts enormously.

You accept that you affect the mood in your home, do you not? If you come home from work happy, your family responds. Even if they are in another room, they are happier. And if you come home angry, they feel it, and their mood may be dampened. 

The same for you when you come home to someone happy to see you. You are elevated. And when you come home to complaints, do you not tend to close down? Why would it be any different for the world at large? 

Obvious to you or not, you are affecting the world.

Is This Love I Am Feeling?

by Gloria Wendroff - 

You can ask yourself in any given moment: "Is this love I am feeling? Is it love I am coming from?" Then, when the answer is no, why, then, simply turn to love.

It is as if you are carrying a knapsack. When one shoulder gets tired, you simply put the knapsack over the other shoulder and whistle along on your merry way. The tired shoulder is the signal that there needs to be a shift. If love is the knapsack, you simply change your position and so you get more comfortable. 

Less than love reminds you to get back to it.

Sometimes you forget about love, the concept of love. You get caught in the hurly-burly. You think about numbers or how frightened you feel, and, as far as your attention is concerned, love has flown out the window. But love isn't going anywhere. It's just that you have sat on it. 

Let your love be a bird that flies out of your heart and takes you with it. You are part and parcel of love. Go with it.

Let love be the flag you carry.

Let your love be long tresses blown by the wind. Let your love be gossamer curtains at the window. Let your love be shimmering light. Without care as to who sees and who does not see it, let your light shimmy through tree leaves and reach the sun it came from. 

I am waiting to see a display of your love, not for the sake of fireworks, but for My sake. I am the end recipient of all your love. It all comes back to Me, and then I fling My love out to the universe again, and again you catch it, and so we play catch with love again and again. We will never tire of it. Love keeps you aloft. Love is your chariot to Me.

Can you imagine a world without love? It is too terrible to imagine. Yet you have imagined it. 

You have seen greed and selfishness and war and distrust, and you may have swung your eyes over to them, those things that are less than love. Now, just as easily, bring your eyes back to love and you will see sunrise, and you will see light coursing through the universe. 

As your heart lifts, you heighten the world. Your heart is the lever of the universe. You are My proponent of love.

Anything but love is just a filler. 

It merely keeps open the place set aside for love. It sits in love's seat for only a little while. As soon as love enters, anything less than love gets up and gets out of the way of love. It was just keeping love's place warm. Anything less than love knows it is nothing but a place-holder.

No hate nor greed nor envy nor crime nor anything at all can stay in the presence of love. All bow down and then leave the room. Negativity cannot be in the same room with love. Love dis-empowers anything less than love. 

Anything but love disintegrates in the ever burning flame of love. Love is a great purifier. There is nothing like love and there is nothing else but love.

Only love remains. Everything else leaves soon or late. Only love stays. Love is its own starburst.

Looking Up

by Gloria Wendroff -
HeavenLetters:

When you look upward, you alter your physiology. Everything within you realigns. When you look upward, you step out of the limited directions of the plane of Earth. In daily life, you face north, south, east, or west. The preponderance of time on Earth is spent with your nose even with the terrain or aimed to the ground where your feet trod. But you are more than earthly.

There is more for you to look at and more for you to know. Look up in the direction called Heaven, and you will refresh your weary mind and lighten your heart. Your earthly life will become simpler. Looking Heavenward rejuvenates.

When you look around on Earth, there is so much to look at. House after house. Tree after tree. Cars and trucks. A myriad of people. Looking around you calls your attention to objects that remind you of boundaries of one sort or another. You feel obligations on Earth. Sense of obligation is a boundary that is limited to Earth.

A sense of obligation does not exist in the higher realms where there is joy and therefore no perceived need for indebtedness.

When you look skyward, you are reminded of expanse.

When you look up, you begin to merge with the vastness of boundlessness. Even when you are in a small room with a ceiling overhead and you look up, there is a sense of an extent far beyond the ceiling. In effect, there is no ceiling.

When you look up, you are less tied to Earth. You are more innocent. 

Perhaps some of the innocence of children comes from their having to look up most of the time to one degree or another. Eyes are meant to look up. When looking up improves your physical eye sight, what must it do then to your deeper vision?

When you lie on your back in a field and chew on a straw, you are looking up. You are in more of a position of trust when you look up. Inner barriers to trust leave when you look up. You become more versatile.

When it is raining and you turn your face upward to feel the rain on your face, you feel refreshed. With or without rain, your face turned Heavenward will be bathed in greater awareness.

You bring in more Godlight. Your cells will welcome it.

There are many diverse physical exercises performed on Earth. On Earth, it is good to move muscles in different ways. Muscles are there for a purpose and yearn to be moved. Your eyes have muscles. Use them. Looking up is a physical gesture, but it gravitates you toward a higher dimension. Add looking Heavenward to your repertoire.

In any case, looking up is a break from the routine of daily life. Invest in Heaven breaks. Some things on Earth are still free.

When you look up, you rely less on your individual talent and align yourself more with the power of Heaven.

We can say that looking Heavenward is a silent prayer.

Your looking upward helps you sense My looking into your eyes. I look into your eyes now. As it were, I paint Golden Light on your eyes, and you absorb it.

This Golden Light radiates through your body and illuminates your heart. 

It enters your bloodstream. It brightens every cell in your body. It lightens the room you are in. All this because you looked Heavenward and had a glimpse of the Light of My Love permeating you no less than the rays of the sun.

Unblemished Splendor

by Gloria Wendroff -

You are at a distance from life. 

Even when life overwhelms you, you are observing it. You are smack in the middle of it and yet you are a watcher on the sidelines. You watch your life. Your life moves, but you are immovable. It is as if you stand on the shore.

Even when you are in a frenzy, there is a part of you that is still, rolls over and says Ho-hum.

Your state of excitation happens as if without your participation. You are on a choo-choo that rumbles along over hill and dale. The ride may be bumpy, and you are jostled, yet, at the same time, you sit primly with your hands folded, a simple passenger on the train of life.

You watch yourself as in a mirror. Despite all that you observe happening, nothing is happening. You are stillness observing motion. The ship of life plows through the waves.

Whether your body is awake or asleep, you are watching as if with one eye open. There is a sense of your perpetuating life upon yourself. You play a role where you are onstage and offstage at the same time.

You observe yourself. You are the whole show wrapped into one. You seemingly see a beginning, a during, and an end, while you ride on an escalator that never stops and from which you do not step off.

Sometimes life seems otherworldly to you. Certainly there are other worlds you inhabit. They are seemingly beyond your ken, but not beyond your experience. You live in a many-tiered universe. You recollect little.

It is as if, you who are wholeness, have lopped off a little piece of yourself, half convincing yourself that the little piece of you amounts to everything. You have become myopic, beloveds. You repeatedly examine yourself under a microscope and forget that far-vision exists.

No matter, all will come out right in the end. 

You will walk out of a pool of light and remember yourself. You will re-mind yourself. You will be washed of all the knowledge you like to think you possess, and, so, you will be washed of ignorance and come out glistening. You will be like a new-born babe of the universe, and you will be a Knower.

All the past, present, and future will be washed away, and you will be your original Self, a powerhouse of love and glory, 

You will stand in a long line that has no one else in it. You will encompass the whole universe, and you will meet yourself in all directions, although directions such as east and west will not be recorded nor available. Directionless, you will be purposeful.

At this point, motionless, you will rise, not as a rocket, but as a tall figure rising from the sea without moiling the waves. You will be impervious, although that is not the right word. You will be invulnerable, yet that is not the right word either. There is nothing you will be vulnerable to so how can you be invulnerable?

You simply will be rising, and you will encompass breadth and depth, even though they do not exist. You will turn yourself inside out as it were and see that you envelop the universe, that it is all contained within you, that you are Vastness expanding.

Imagine a figure of light rising from the blue ocean. That is you. You are rising imperturbably. You rise. Water beads spin off from you. Dried by the sun, you keep rising, rising back to the unblemished splendor of your Self.

A Simple Life

by Gloria Wendroff -

Heavenletters:

A simple life is a life lived from the heart. The heart is full to the brim and yet, with a full heart, there is always room for more. A simple heart is an open heart. It is uncluttered. It is not distracted. There is nothing to distract it.

A Human Being who lives a simple life takes care of what he has and has joy from it. The simple heart is always free to not have what it treasures because it knows that the freedom and ability to let go are greater treasure. A simple life is fluid, never looks back, and therefore is never turned into salt. As you live a simple life, you are like a cow who grazes. And so you graze in life. The grass is green wherever you graze.

Simplify your life now. 

Walk into the horizon without cumbersome details. You, who wish to lead a simpler life, require little, or nothing at all, because wherever you walk, I walk with you and, so, you have all you need. You have more than you need. You don’t need the fear and worry you carry with you. You don’t need a sense of security either because I am your security. Look less to the world to hold you up. Let the world do its thing, and We’ll do Ours.

Without fail, the sun dawns every day. Without fail, the moon rises. Stars shine. And there is always weather. And love is always afoot, standing at every corner, keeping an eye out for you.

Living a simple life is such a great relief. 

Leading a simple life, you have untied yourself from all the little boundaries, all the must have’s, all the extraneous. You become like a wayfarer who plays his fiddle along the way. You don’t have big pockets. You may have none, and you stroll through life, not as a homeless one, but as one at Home. The world is your oyster, and you open it.

You can have only one thought in your mind at a time. And you have only one moment to live now. You might as well make it the best moment of many more best moments to come. Best moments stand in line for you, eager to serve you, eager to be lived, and eager to be noticed and regarded as the beautiful gifts they are.

Great moments are ready to pour themselves down on you like rainfall. 

 You are going to be soaked in Greatness and well-being. And all that you receive, you will spatter on all who are blessed to be near you. Your presence will be a blessing. Simple Human Being, you are a blessing sent from God for the establishment of Heaven on Earth. You are a forerunner of Paradise. You are its emissary. You are the heralder of all the good that is to come.

You shed your dependency upon the trappings of the world, and you enter refreshed and unbeholden to the past, and so you free the world from the past, and you bring light. Without effort, you bring light. You are a lightbringer. You are a forecaster of good news. You shine light as light has never been shone before.

Whatever you may have thought you were yesterday, now you are My pure light on Earth. Pick up your feet, beloveds, and know Whose light you shine, and shine it gladly in reverence to the holiness of life on Earth and all its inhabitants.

You are going to revolutionize the world, and you are going to do it now. You cannot avoid this. And why would you want to avoid this momentous moment, for today you begin a new history of the world, the one everyone has been waiting for.

Unfinished Love

by Gloria Wendroff -
Heavenletters:

All love is unfinished. That means that all love is unending.

Love you gave in the past continues. Every kindness you ever gave continues. The waves of love continue. You are riding on them. They transport you. All the love you ever extended continues to extend.

Every connection you have ever made with the heart of another continues its outpouring. How many years ago doesn't matter, for in the matter of love, there is no time. Love is exclusive of time. Love is too momentous to fit into the corners of time.

Love has to go somewhere. It never settles down. It takes everything with it in its swath.

The whole course of your life is a travelogue of love. 

Your life points out things to you. Love stars in your life. Start noticing that. Start noticing all the love that is given. And accepted. Quietly given, and quietly accepted. Not in crescendo does love impart itself but in whisper, constant whisper. Listen.

Love is the substance from which you are made. I declare it. 

Love is the dust and love is the flame. Love is the medium of life and the medium of your life. Love flows and takes you with it. Only you don't always know what is going on. You don't always know where you are. Most of the time, you don't know where you are.

You think love is something other than you. You think love is something you pick up every now then in pieces. You think it is something imparted to you once in a while, when you are good perhaps but you don't know how good you are and how much love you impart.

You are too good to keep to yourself. Sometimes you only notice yourself in others. Well, then, notice the love in others, and you will see your own.

Start noticing love, the little evidences of it. 

Evidences may be small, but love never is small. It cannot be. Smallness is a contradiction to love. Smallness can not fit into the greatness of love. Only greatness befits greatness. Love is sweet and cannot conceive of sour.

Love is purposeful and powerful. 

It is the greatest power on earth, and it is your greatest power. Now is when you unleash your love for creation and all created beings. Now is when you remove the cloak you have been wearing and declare yourself love to yourself. You are the only one who has to know the title you wear. But emblazon love itself across the entire universe. The universe has been waiting for your love to reveal itself to itself.

Say to yourself this morning:

"I am love. I am nothing else. There is nothing else in the whole world for me to be but love. It is the easiest thing in the world to acknowledge the love that I am. I am only love. Only love is. I float on love. I moor in love. I am God's embodiment of love. From love I came, and to love I go. My life is based on love, for there is no other basis to life. 

Love never runs out. There is no bottom to it. I am a bottomless pit of love. I am a ceilingless height of love. The love in my heart dwells on earth as it dwells in Heaven. I am an incubus of love. My genes are love. My DNA is love. What circulates in my veins is love. My cells are love, deep within themselves and my very breath is love, for it is God that I breathe in and breathe out. 

I stand on the summit of love. From this summit, I see life as it is, not as it is purported to be. From the summit of love, I see very well, and I see into the eyes of everyone I meet, and I see God there, and I welcome the love I see and the love I sow. Love welcomes itself. And I am all the love in the world and in Heaven. I AM."

The Direction of Your Thoughts

by Gloria Wendroff -

In order for you to think differently, you have to think differently. Change your thinking and see what else changes. Changing your thinking means to look at what occurs in life in another way from what you have been accustomed to.

In other words, let go, release, upend a view of life that you have held dear.

Sometimes, only sometimes, the more you protest, the more that arises for you to protest. It is as if you have called its name and it comes over to you. Your resolve not to have something you do not want is so strong that you call it to you, and it answers. I am not saying you are cause.

I am saying that whatever befalls, no matter how innocent you are, it is your responsibility now. 

Consider viewing thoughts about unlikable situations as travelers in a storm. Take them in for a while and then bid them goodbye. Don't keep them around. They are not to live with you forever. Nor must your thoughts about them continue.

When a rattling window in a storm bothers you, you simply get up and ease the window. There was a storm, but you did not talk up a storm about it, for then you would have relived and supported the rattling of the window.

All of the errors and anxiety you hold to you are rattling windows.

Take steps in life towards what you desire. 

Leave the undesired behind. It is already behind you. Don't bring it forward. It is not beneficial to stew in it. Bemoaning is stewing. Acknowledge and then move on.

This includes moods, those wavering things that seem to overtake you. Now, you overtake them. You are not meant to bob up and down in life according to your moods.

Consider moods strangers who visit you. 

They are only visitors. You need not live your life according to them. Keep your eye on what you desire, and moods will fall by the wayside. Moods too come because of how you have been thinking.

It may seem to you that moods descend upon you, perhaps like vultures but moods are nothing at all but moods. And moods are passing things. Let them pass. You can, despite what you think, choose your mood. You do, in fact, choose your mood. Your accumulated thinking made a choice for you. Do you doubt what I say?

You think a dark mood changes because good news arrives. You think a happy mood changes because dark news arrives. One day spotty news will not be the helm that steers your life.

You will stay on course regardless of the passing news. You will be moodless. You will be even. You will be Oneness, in joy or in sorrow.

When a mood of less than happiness seems to overtake you, then find something to be happy about. Strike the right chord. Play a higher note. If you are in the doldrums, get out of them. Truly, your thoughts put you there. Your thoughts kept you there.

Now your thoughts will release you just as well.

If you are going to think thoughts, choose which ones to think. Think of what you are thinking.

Thoughts are only thoughts. 

You can have thoughts like biting gnats and you can have thoughts like butterfly wings. The thought process is the same. But gnats are annoying and pull you down. Butterflies are pleasing and lift you up. Engage your thoughts in what you would like to be engaged in. How simple!

Your thoughts are like your nose. Your nose faces the world. Your nose goes first and you follow in the direction of your nose. You can point your nose in another direction.

The same way, you can alter your thoughts.
