Dearest Chuck,

thanks ever so much for sharing, I am really looking forward to reading God’s reply !!

this is really a beautiful post and an important one.

“In the Heavenletter where God equates courage and devotion, he was talking about the act of Godwriting.”
Gloria / Jochen could we somehow trace this HL ???

I still have those moments too, where my mind tries to butt in and give some opinion about what I’m writing, but in the main we made friends and I just think “It ok, everythings fine” and I go on. Gloria dear Angel, the putting aside of judgement without making a war of it, but simply by gently going on with Godwriting, is the most amazing gift you flocked on me !!

infinite love !

Dear Berit, Gloria may know which Heavenletter she is having in mind. But it’s also not difficult to use the search at heavenletters.org to find everything that was ever said about Godwriting in Heavenletters.

I have asked myself whether “How can I be sure it’s God?” is a question for me. It really isn’t. I don’t even understand the question itself once I start thinking about it. Well, I never attempted to godwrite. It’s only fair, I think, that there be one advantage to not Godwriting too.

Beloved Jochen, you are entitled to everything in the world and beyond!

Dear One, it’s not my style to know which Heavenletter something comes from! It could have been personal Godwriting, I don’t know. You are the one who is awfully good at finding things. I think we depend on you for this. Do you want us to be more independent?

Beloved Berit, Godwriting is certainly the greatest gift God gave to me. He gave it to you, too!

Querida, I involuntarily looked behind me at the capitalized One, but you seem to be addressing me. We all know better, I presume, than to ask people for things we can do ourselves. So when I’m asked to find something, of course I’ll try. It’s true I have developped a nack for it during the 35 years of having to research something all the time for my professional work.

Is this all we have to go by?:

“Now, God said in a Heavenletter™ that great courage is the same as great devotion – courage and devotion are the same. Did anyone have greater devotion than this incredible young girl, Joan of Arc?
In the Heavenletter where God equates courage and devotion, he was talking about the act of Godwriting.”

Sorry, can find no HL that has “Godwriting” AND “courage” AND “devotion”.

But here’s one about Godwriting that has “trust” 33 times! Well wort reading.
 
 
Early Faith
Heavenletter #280 Published on: August 5, 2001
God said:
You are learning to trust. Trusting is greater confidence in your own heart. It is not something out there that you have to trust in, but your own self and the Great God within.

Your life is built on trust. You put one foot down and trust that the other will follow. You put a flower in the sun and water it and trust it will grow. When you go to bed at night, you trust that you will wake up.

You see the benefits of trust. It takes a load off you. Trust is worryless. It makes no sense to wonder if your other foot will always follow, that the flower will always grow, and that you will always wake up the next morning. Trust is letting go of that which you do not control in any case. How wise trust is!

Sometimes trust is a leap. Or so it seems.

You trust that when you Godwrite, I will whisper the words to you. You trust that you will hear closely and write down what I say. You trust there is value. Even if no other human being were to physically see or hear what you write, it takes trust on your part to hear Me and write Me.

Further, your trust extends to the ends that I exist, and that there is value in your existence and Mine and Our talking back and forth.

How is it that trust is made such a big thing of, as though it were a danger-maker? What is the virtue in not trusting? Is its counterpart, doubt, more noble or safer or refined? Why isn’t doubt doubted more than trust?

It is the heart that knows things, and the mind that doubts. Oh, that mind of yours! How it searches for proof, when the whole of creation is evidence of My being!

The mind proves what it wants to. The mind is an errant lover. It is a will-o’-the-wisp, and you let it be your advisor.

So We come back to your heart where trust shines its light. Your lovely heart. My domain. Let your heart be overtaken with its sense of My love, for your sense of My love is My love direct. Allow yourself to know it, My love in your heart. Let My love splash there to your heart’s content.

Your heart is My palace on Earth. Your heart is My Heaven on Earth. Your heart is not only where I like to be but where I am. Within your heart lies abundance of well-being. Your heart is a hearth of trust. Keep the fires of trust burning bright in your heart. You are the keeper of the fire. Blow on it. Warm your hands there. Fuel it. Put on more logs of trust. The more you trust, the more you trust.

And when does trust become faith? When nothing else but trust can burn in your heart, it is called Faith. Faith is pure trust, trustingness that enflames the whole of creation with its light. From your single heart comes faith enough to brighten the world.

Doubt does not brighten. It dims. Choose trust over doubt, and the light of your trust will grow to faith.

We can call trust early faith, or the early glow of faith. Flickering faith. True faith is eternal and universal. True faith is knowing truth, and truth leaves no room for faithlessness.

My faith lies in you. You are the holder of My faith. Behold it, the faith in you that is Mine. I have great faith in you within whose heart My faith lies. I have double faith. Hold My faith up high so that I may see it burning bright in your heart.

Jochen, this is what I have:

How brave you have become. You take Me at My word, and you write down what I say no matter how brazen or farfetched it may seem to you. That you write down is a great act of devotion, and devotion is a form of courage, is it not? You are devoted to Me. From your devotion comes courage. It takes courage to see what everyone else may not yet see or acknowledge.

As you become more courageous, your selfishness becomes less. Courage is less attention on your little self. Courage is the same as more attention on Me. Less on you. More on Me.

This is personal GW, Señora. If you have it on your computer, you can still find it. Let Santhan tell you how.     Love     Jochen

God uses faith often in the Heavenletter Jochen quoted. Gloria, I always wondered why the word faith did not appeal to you. Could it be because faith has so long been associated with religion?

When the Native American tribes began to ride horses, they had an effective way of taming the magnificent creatures. Instead of “breaking” the horse, they would lead the horse into deep water where it could not thrash around, and then mount the horse. The horse would natural remain calm in the river of devotion, the waters of faith.

How can a wild creature like the mind be tamed without devotion?

Beloved One, to the best of my ability and awareness, ideas on matters such as faith I get from God. Here’s the gist of what I remember God’s saying:

“Faith isn’t good enough. Knowing is better. Faith is a belief. No one can really make himself BELIEVE. He may want to very much. He may try very hard. Real faith is knowing. It is not belief.”

Beloved Senor, I would like it to be clear that because I personally have not been able to belong to a religion doesn’t mean that I am not aware of religions’ deep value and advantage. For example, I have seen people deal well with the death of a loved one because of their true and deep faith in their religion. I always wanted to have that kind of faith.

In terms of this forum and our blog, I think it’s wise for us to stay away from discussion of religion because it is so important and means so much to us that it can lead to debates and emotions run high, so I am biting my tongue!

When you speak of taming the mind, do you mean self-taming, yes? Your heart has so clearly tamed your mind, for I can attest that your thoughts are unfailingly the highest. Every day I see how you honor all and give great freedom.
