From The Valleys of Your Heart |
|||||
From the valleys of your heart
comes the sweetness of the world. Your heart is the ship that sails, and your heart is also the waters that the ship sails
on. Wave upon wave is issued from your heart. Let the waves be expansive waves of love that leap all the way to Heaven from
where all love comes. Transmit your love, and your love will stream back to Heaven all that which Heaven has given from the
fullness of its love. So often My sons and daughters,
children of My heart, look to receive a return rather than to give it. If I were to speak of owing, I would say that you feel
owed more than you feel owing. I do not like to speak of owing because that connotes duty. It is not duty I speak of. I speak
of the ultimate return to you which comes from your giving back and even giving ahead, giving before you have received, giving
because giving gives you the most reward. Only, do not think in terms of what is reward to you. You cannot live that way because
then you are ordering the Universe to come to you when, all the while, you are to lavish the Universe by the innocent giving
of your heart. Let your heart be a weed for
a while. Let your heart be voluminous in its growth. Let it spread everywhere, taking over everywhere. Let your heart be totally
undaunted. Let your heart be a weed rather than a hot house rose. Such a rose may look at itself in the mirror frequently
and feel vain and deserving. A weed thinks differently. A weed is too busy giving of itself everywhere. A weed does not spend
itself looking in mirrors. Or let your heart be a knight's
white charger who hastens through the crowds. Let your heart be the Knight who rides the white steed. Let your heart be the
Knight who is so courtly and gives his allegiance to the welfare of all who are in distress and all those who are not in distress.
A Knight is noble because that is what Knights do. They serve and serve to their great delight. Knight's hearts swell in joy.
Happiness is theirs. And those whom the Knight serves
serve in their acceptance of the service the Knight so generously bestows. Let Me now dub all hearts Knights
forevermore. Then there will be no hearts in distress, and love will be given from joy and not need. To go to Heaven is the lot
of everyone. All the reputed requirements are not required at all. You do not even have to believe in Me in order to enter
Heaven. I cast no one aside. Why would I? Would I say that any one of you must stay out from Heaven? If I said that, I might
be saying there is no hope for you. I bet on more than hope. I ride on certainty. Is there somewhere else other than Heaven
where you would better learn how to give and how to live? If I am a God of Love, I am
a God of Love. I do not count and keep record of your mistakes. I erase them. They are erased. Beloveds, why would I Who AM
God require a certain set of beliefs from you? Belief is nothing. Who you are and how you live and how you give, why, they
are everything. I flunk no one. I do not grade in the first place. In the first place, I give love and love conquers all. |
