 Grow Heavenward

God said:

When you look up at Me, you are not looking down.
World influence often tends to pull you down.
My influence, by its very nature, lifts you up.
The world has gotten in the habit of denigrating you.
The world gives you a false picture.
It would cut you off at the start,
wanting to keep you indentured to it.
I would have you rise to the heights where you rightfully belong.

Come, look up. Come see a truer picture of you.

In its efforts to keep you small, the world would squash you. I would unleash you.
Do not think I am in competition with the world.
There is no competition when it comes to Me.
Only, life in the world travels on the surface.
It twirls itself around and wants to keep you captive.
I want to free you from the arbitrary restraints of the world.

I am not telling you to spurn the world.
I am telling you to not believe so much in what it says.
Adore the world. At the same time, do not hold it almighty.
You are not really its province. I
t doesn’t own you.
Instead of the world’s twirling you,
by the height of your thoughts, twirl the world.
There is a level beyond the world.
Reach for it.

In your daily life, you will know what is clearly from God
and what is clearly from man.
Look up at the sun and the sky,
and you will know the jewels I have strewn the world with.
Look at what I would show you, beloveds.

The world is imperfect by its own standards.
And yet it would pompously brag
and invite you to join in its legerdemain.
It is my pleasure to offer you the pure fruit of Heaven.

You are meant to be the tillers of the world, not the tilled.
You are not to be pounded into the ground.
You are meant to plant beautiful flowers
and vegetables that, like you, will grow Heavenward.

You would not turn down My invitation to join Me, would you?
Do not tremble.
Do not hold Me in awe.
Hold Me in love.

If you are a building block of the world,
represent Me. Set your feet firmly near Me.
Hold the world up to Me, beloveds.
Hold it in your hands like a precious jewel
that you polish.
Hold the world up like the sun.

WORD FOR TODAY

Regeneration

1. God creates a clean heart    Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me

2. God creates tender hearts    Ezekiel 11:19    And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:

3. Jesus gives living water   John 4:10    Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou knowest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink: thou wouldest have asked, and he would have given thee living water

4. New birth    1 Peter 1:23    Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever 

5. God writes law on hearts    Jeremiah 31:33    But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.









God said:

Because you cannot see does not mean that there is nothing to see. On a cloudy night, the stars are not visible, but what has visibility to do with the stars? And so is it with your life.

The fulfillment of your greatest desires could be an inch away, and you could be feeling that you have been abandoned by the universe.

You put yourself through so many unnecessary things. You panic that you will not find the entry door while you are already inside. Or you fear you will not find the exit door while you are already outside.

If there is anything to be abandoned, it is your fear thoughts. Predict other things. Predict the enlightenment of the world. Predict good fortune. Feel it rushing toward you and everywhere. Feel blessings landing on you, pinning your shoulders to the mat of good fortune.

The three little pigs in the story went out with little knapsacks to seek their fortune. They knew what they were seeking. You are doing the same, if only you knew. You think you are looking for this thing and that thing, and you may have forgotten what you are really after. Remember now.

Beloveds, you have been sidetracked. What you are truly seeking cannot be found in department stores. What you are seeking is already within, and yet, other people, ordinary people, will usher you to the seat of your fulfillment. Looking within does not mean to absent yourself from other people. Nor are other people the answer to your quest. Yet other people will give you clues, for, of course, there really are not other people. Every single person you meet is connected to you, and they are before you for a purpose, just as you are before them for a purpose. Think of your meeting, not as a lesson, but rather an opportunity to love. Does not every meeting provide that opportunity? The more torrid the meeting, the more you are called on to love.

In the fairy tales, sometimes it is the most unlikely person who gives the seeker the wisdom he is seeking. The most unlikely person knows the way to the palace and knows the ways to get past all the guards. Perhaps there are unlikely people in your life who have messages for you. Listen and love, listen and appreciate, listen and accept, listen and listen. Listen to all the clues, beloved. The universe has a lot to say to you.

Each person before you bears a gift.

In fairy tales, the first person you meet is the one you are to marry. This means to marry in understanding. And, so, if you meet the toad, accept the grace of understanding and do not be daunted. Be undaunted. Before the tale is over, the toad has become a prince. And you a princess.

From every encounter, come away with something. Not with disgruntlement. Come away with something you did not have before. Make this your intention.

Getting your way is not a good enough intention any more. Getting your own way is not worth much, beloveds. Come away with something more. Come away with greater comprehension of what you are to another, and what another is to you.

Consider that you each take two ends of a blanket you are folding, and as you come together in the folding, you meet. As you come together, you meet Me.

Someone is going to introduce you to Me today in a surprising way.

Greet everyone. Welcome everyone to your consciousness, and you will find out who is bringing Me to you. Be ready, beloveds. Be ready
