The following is from a very recent personal Godwriting™.

Gloria to God: God, years ago I heard a sage say that, bottom line, we love others for what they can do for us, that all love is selfish. By implication, that unless others are of some use to us, we wouldn’t bother to love them. I realize, of course, that some of what others give to us is their wanting us to love them and allowing us to. (more…)

Here’s what I am quite certain of: The same way that I know that every single Heavenletter is meant for me, I also know that every single bit of personal Godwriting is also meant for you.

It can only that anything and everything God says is meant for all of us. (more…)

Sara Gruen, the author of Water for Elephants, Riding Lessons, Flying Changes, and Ape House, knows how to tell a story. She knows how to create characters, imperfect though they may be.

I’ve read all of of her novels, and each is spellbinding. I cannot tell you what her secret is, (more…)

This was in personal Godwriting™.  I had asked God if I should have spoken up in a certain situation, and His answer surprised me.

Before I go into God’s response, I want to tell you a little more.

Although I have come to believe that it is better to say what is on our mind than not, even though I believe that there are no secrets really and that what is on my mind is somehow known anyway, I have to believe that there are times to just let whatever is on my mind bide its time, that the time to speak up is later, not now. This seems like good advice, and yet…

I realize that in life I have too often skirted issues. I remember so many years ago someone’s asking me: “Gloria, do you practice avoidance?”

Boy, do I! Yes, I practice avoidance. I sometimes practice avoidance so much that I don’t even let myself look at a situation and, so, I don’t face it.

In this instance, however, I am aware of a particular situation, and, yet, even when asked, I kept silent.

In this particular situation, God has been telling me that it will resolve itself and that I simply have to wait. He has made that clear.

He has said, for example:

Gloria, how many times do I have to tell you that you have nothing to worry about. The situation is as it is, yet it will not be forever as it is. Have trust in Me.

So, on this day, I asked: “Dear God, should I have opened up with this person?”

God’s answer was the last thing I expected to hear, and God’s response made me smile.  Somehow, His three-word answer eased my heart and gave me peace, although He really gave no answer at all!

So, when I asked God whether I should have spoken up, God Himself was non-committal. After pausing to give it some thought, God answered, just as anyone on Earth might:

Hard to say.

Hard to say!

That’s all his answer was, and yet His answer lifted my heart enormously. I felt so much better. I felt saved from a troubling day. How quickly, sweetly, three words from God, and everything is changed.

I tell you frankly that I do not know how I could get through life without Godwriting, including my personal Godwriting. Most of my life I did get through life without even awareness of God, and I have to tell you that my life then often was not pretty.

In my present life, I have nothing to be sad about, you understand, for my life is good, and I am full of Heavenletters™ and all the many blessings that God bestows. (more…)
