From Normand Bourque, Perth, Australia:

Beloved Gloria,

In one of my postings (at least one!), I used the expression “once and for all”:

«Can we start believing for once and for all that we are ALREADY waking into this New Jerusalem of Being? Even if the Land is still invisible, we can start planting the seeds of our divine dreams.». This post of mine is to be found in:

http://www.heavenletters.org/where-fear-cannot-follow.html

Reading the comments on my post, I notice that this expression seems to people very “engaging” if not even “restrictive” in the sense that there is no way back and that we have to decide immediately, which is to make our decision in the “Present tense.”

So I started searching through all Heavenletters (in fact, the computer did the search for me) all the occurrences of the expression “ONCE AND FOR ALL” and I extracted 122 of them. This means to me that God uses this expression in a fairly insistent, pervasive if not intrusive way.

I think these quotes from Heavenletters should be made available to anyone who wants to read them without having to spend several hours as I did to extracting them one by one and putting them in one document (12 pages). I think it could contribute to raise higher the level of commitment in the forum.

What do you think about the idea? Where could it be posted (in the blog?)? Anyway, I leave it to and send you the document attached.

Love and blessings,

Normand

From Gloria:

Beloved Normand,

Amazing. I would never have known. Yes, the phrase becomes very powerful. And how powerfully your mind works, and how dedicated to Truth you are.

The quotation from your early post sounded so much like Godwriting, I had to check to make sure that it was your expression: “…this New Jerusalem of Being.” Wow. And then: “Even if the Land is still invisible, we can start planting the seeds of our Divine dreams.” This is the forward direction you give.

And your conclusion: “… it could contribute to raise higher the level of commitment in the forum.” Raise higher the level of commitment in life! In this sentence, you really bring the expression “Once and for all” to the present and drop it right in our laps.

Reading what you wrote certainly made me sit up straight. Reading your email and scanning the quotes – seeing the bulk – has straightened my spine. I have to ask myself if I have been waiting for God rather than determining my own commitment.

It seems to me that you have offered an amazing blog entry on a silver platter. Thank you. Okay, let’s make a blog guest entry of it.

Dear Blog Readers, what do you think is the significance of Once and For All?

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

1 Free yourself from the past once and for all. (#3356)

2 Will you, once and for all, radiate peace and good will and love? (#3334)

3 Once and for all, am I not a God of Love? I am not tempermental. I do not toss coins. I do not pick a card. I do not change My mind. Nor do I change My heart.(#3315)

4 All are blessed. I do not give My blessings more to one and less to another. I know it seems in the world that there are those who are blessed with greater good fortune than others. Know, once and for all, that all My love for you and others is My love, and My blessings are My blessings. (#3300)

5 I am asking you to remove pent-up anger and hurt and such in your heart. I am asking that, once and for all, you dispense with it. What are you saving it for, beloveds? Throw it away. (#3281)

6 Beloveds, let Me tell you once and for all, it is not for you to educate others to their failings. What commandment is that? (#3267)

7 Whatever cards you get, know, once and for all, that you are already favored. (#3235)

8 And yet you have been seeking love all your life on Earth. You have been seeking to find love, and you have been seeking proof of love, proof that it exists, and proof that you, even you, actually are loved once and for all. (#3213)

9 Beloveds, say Yes to the fullness of love in your heart. Say Yes once and for all. Say Yes now. (#3170)

10 Let’s eliminate altogether this sham anger, shame, conflict, hurt feelings, remonstrance, nagging, scolding, displeasure and on and on. I call them sham. They may feel real, yet negative emotions fly under false flags. They are revivals, scourges from the past. They are hangers-on. Confess, they have no business being here now. End them once and for all. Forget what all those untoward emotions are. Forget their names, and forget their assumed power over you. (#3166)

11 Will you, once and for all, stop worrying? You over-worry. Any worry is too much. Worry is pointless. It takes your energy and gives nothing back in return but more of itself. Make a better bargain than this. (#3106)

12 One who perpetuates suffering has given his allegiance to suffering. He thinks he inflicts it on someone else, yet he has inflicted it on himself, and he is unaware that he is free to drop it once and for all. For all. I call for an end to suffering. (#3083)

13 Will you once and for all let go of the idea that you are limited? If you believe you have only a fraction of ground before you, you will not step far. You will believe in limitation that does not exist. (#3078)

14 You can sit in any chair you want. No one makes you sit in the worry chair. In fact, why don’t you just throw that worry chair out, once and for all? Don’t even put it out in the curb for someone else to pick up. Simply dismantle it. Use it for firewood and be done with it. (#3026)

15  Let Us abolish the words can’t, cannot, unable, incapable, inadequate, etc. Let Us abolish them once and for all. Abolish even “It seems I can’t.” Abolish, “I wish I could,” for if you truly wish, you would. Speak with words of strength. (#2986)

16 I shall write you a new shopping list. Throw out the old one once and for all. Replace it with this one that I give to you now. This is your new shopping list I give to you. Understand it well: “I am a fine person just as I am. “I mean to do good, and I do.” (#2982)

17 “I no longer second-guess myself. I leave myself alone. If I don’t like now what I said or wrote or did, I cross it out from all lists now, once and for all. What I did or didn’t do doesn’t matter. It is in the past. (#2982)

18 Beloveds, somehow you must let go of the suffering in your own heart. Your jaunt in life is not all about you, yet it is something about you. Bless and love the world, and bless and love yourself enough to let go of the oppression of guilt once and for all. (#2924)

19 Will you, once and for all, please forget about what displeases you? Will you please stop bringing up statistics and facts? Who cares what has been in the past? You certainly do not have to re-establish the past. (#2842)

20 Will you be kind to yourself today? Will you say once and for all: “I am so sorry for what I did. The sorrier I am, the more I have to let go of guilt.” (#2705)

21 Do not think you are smart to be snobbish about love. Love is not to be elite. Love is to demolish anything and everything in its way. Once and for all, beloveds, let love have its way. Let love have its say. Let love take over the Universe. Let love dispel everything in its path. Get yourself out of the way of love. Let loose the love in your heart. Rein it in no longer. (#2677)

22 Let go of the past in all its forms, and you will be innocent. Your eyes will be wider, and you will see further. You will well see what is right in front of you, undisguised by misunderstanding and, therefore, lack of understanding. You will see yourself before you, fresh as a daisy or as sweet as a rosebud from Heaven. You will understand love once and for all, even human love, faltering or flying. (#2674)

23 That you were ignorant, We already know. You are guilty of ignorance. You are guilty of having forgotten your worth. You are guilty of having offended yourself. Come out of this self-imposed darkness and declare yourself free. Free yourself from the past, beloveds. Once and for all, be done with it. Let the past be gone, and come with Me now in the light of your True Self, as a Divine Human Being who stands tall in the full realization of My love. You are just as much Mine as any King on Earth. (#2650)

24 You look into the mirror of Heaven, and you begin to see your true reflection. You see Me as an underlay of you. You see One Mind and One Heart, and you clap your hands, and you sing a new song, and you dance a new dance, and you live a new life. This, then, is what We call Awakening. You are awakening once and for all, and no one is left behind, sleeping or drowsy or anything at all that is not the Bright Sunlight of Truth. (#2615)

25 Whatever opened up your anger is not what led to it. Your anger was there, ready to burst out. Anger is very difficult for you, I know. You would beg Me to take it away from you once and for all. You would give anything to be spared from anger. (#2613)

26 And I sent you to the planet Earth to reflect My light lightheartedly. Will you forego seriousness now? Once and for all? Will you become lighthearted in service to Me? (#2604)

27 You carry more than a halo of ligt, You are light entire…You say you would if you knew how. No more excuses now. Desire, intend to let your light show. Forsake shyness. Now stand in the bright light of Oneness once and for all. You stand right next to Me. You have My light surrounding you. Besides that, My light of love is entirely within you. How can you not shine My light brightly? What would prevent you? (#2604)

28 «With all respect, God, give me back My awareness of You. Give me My awareness back once and for all, and never let me lapse my contract with You again». (#2580)

29 When you see less than love, when you give less than love, you are denying your very existence. You have a true existence, and it is for you to live in the full light of day. Take those blinders off. Remove them once and for all. I say, “For all,” not the least of which is you. (#2514)

30 «I say goodbye to my little self. It wasn’t much anyway. No longer do I pretend I need that scraggly little self, the one who frets and worries and resents one little thing after another. Now I am Soul Supreme. And now that I know that, now I leave the past behind once and for all, and now I enter the Kingdom of Heaven.» (#2508)

31 Once and for all, let Me say that your purpose in the world is to give love without effort. If you did not fill yourself up with all the facts that you do, maybe then it would be easier for you to give love. Put fear, distrust, disturbance, despair, anger, hate – put all those things away, and arm yourself with love. The way to disarm your enemy is to make him a friend. If you cannot make him a friend, at least do not make him an enemy. (#2464)

32 Love is capable of freedom. There will be no way to get out of love. Wherever you go, love will be there. You will, once and for all, be in love. Love will be your stomping-grounds. Love will be the chair you sit in. You will recline in love. (#2453)

33 An automatic account has been set up for you. Open your heart like a floodgate, and you will have all of the treasure that has been waiting for you. To whatever degree your heart opens will your treasure fill it up. Fill up the tank, beloveds. Let your heart have what it wants once and for all. (#2420)

34 Even in catastrophe, you are blessed. Accept once and for all that all that occurs is a blessing, if you only knew, if only you had eyes to see. (#2416)

35 You will know that your girth surpasses Earth’s circumference, and you will know that Heaven is measureless, and yet Heaven will be measured in immeasurable love. Get your hat on, beloved, for you are ready to immerse yourselves in happiness and finally, once and for all, find out what happiness is. (#2411)

36 You may think you are not worthy to follow in his (Christ’s) footsteps. I am telling you, once and for all, that you are his footsteps continued on Earth. Rise to the occasion, beloveds. You are to walk the world as Christ did walk the world, fortunate to be a presence on Earth, fortunate for all the opportunity presented, fortunate to live for Me and to never die. (#2399)

37 There is nothing for you to do but to rise and take your rightful place in the community of love on Earth. You are already signed up. There is nothing for you to do but to know Who You Are so that you may cognize yourself. It is not that you do anything but stand up in the light you are already made of and surrounded with and, now, once and for all, acknowledge that you are My child on Earth, chosen by Me to reveal what I am indeed capable of. I am capable of you. (#2370)

38 Think of ten things today that will undoubtedly please you. Be pleased ahead of time. Be pleased once and for all. Please yourself. Please Me. Be pleased. (#2363)

39 Let Me say it plainly once and for all. You are not to close your heart. You are not to put anything before your heart. You are not to shake your finger at it. You are to open your heart. You are to be open-minded about your heart. You are to reveal your heart, strip it of any decoys and subterfuge. (#2348)

40 All the world is an undeveloped country where love needs to surmount time, vanquish it, turn it on its heels. This is what love does. What is the cure for what ails the world but love itself — love — that overtaker of pain, that love which fills everything and stays that way, love that has nothing to do with individuality yet is so well-expressed individually that it is expressed universally. Once and for all. My will is done. (#2324)

41 Take pictures of that which the world needs to see. Everyone can see the dross as well as you. Point out the scenery that reveals its beauty. Never mind the ugly. Leave it alone. Leave it alone once and for all. (#2315)

42 Take pictures of that which the world needs to see. Everyone can see the dross as well as you. Point out the scenery that reveals its beauty. Never mind the ugly. Leave it alone. Leave it alone once and for all. (#2315)

43 Be done with worry. Give it to Me, all of it. Let’s be done with worry once and for all. Let’s sentence worry to oblivion. Worry would keep you prisoner and never let you out on parole. It would keep you in solitary. It would keep you chained. Worry is a bully who finds an easy target. (#2308)

44 Know, once and for all, you don’t need anguish. Anguish churns your stomach. Is there some reason why you think you need it?(#2295)

45 Know this, once and for all, your life is a blessing. Now, bless your life. Bless yourself. Bless this that is your experience in a world of glory. Let your life reflect the sunshine. Let your life reflect Me. (#2295)

46 When you know how wealthy you are, you can afford to be generous. When you know that loss cannot befall — except for loss of ego, that is — then you give gifts to the world. Then you think less about yourself and hold yourself in greater regard, in enough regard that you consider others, not as a gift come to your aid — although they are indeed a gift to you — but as a basket into which you tithe love without restraint once and for all. Plunk. Your love is dropped into the basket for all time. (#2266)

47 A fresh start is given. And for those who remain on Earth, a fresh start is given to you also. You can be relieved of all that death relieves. Now that you know the needlessness of strife and resentment and all such diversions that have filled up so much of life on Earth, you can dispense with them once and for all. (#2248)

48 Scolding yourself doesn’t bring you joy. Pointing out all the errors of your way doesn’t bring you joy. It weighs you down. Find thoughts that will lighten you of burdens rather than add to them. Will you, once and for all, let go of the past? It is yesterday’s newspaper, beloved. Why keep it? Why read it over and over again. Why plague yourself with what is long-gone and wasn’t joy-giving in the first place? Have past events become like worry beads for you? (#2246)

49 If you must get yourself fired up, instead of about this and that, fire yourself up with enthusiasm. Light that fire, and you will inspire. Find something else to think about rather than how someone discounted you or was outright rude. Collect your thoughts. Keep those that benefit you. Keep the gold and throw out the dross. What would you keep slag for? Offenses are slag. Be done with the concept of offense. Be done with it once and for all. (#2177)

50 No matter how deeply you may regret your role or speech in the past, there is nothing to regret. You picked up the wrong paper, so to speak, and now it’s right to put that paper down. When you have a letter in your hand, and it’s not the one you want or have good use for, you don’t hang on to it. You don’t think you must keep it near you, have it available at all times. The paper you don’t want, you don’t keep looking at it. You toss it aside. Toss aside regrets once and for all. (#2151)

51 Despite whatever the past has been, you have left it behind. You only keep the illusion of it. Memories are illusions. Nothing more. They may have been true once, but they are no longer true. The past, relegated to memories, causes you pain. Even the happy memories cause you pain. Give up pain. Give it up today once and for all. Abandon it. Leave it in its tracks. Drop it off without a by-your-leave. Pain is like a spider that has dropped on you. Brush it off, and move away from it. (#2151)

52 Give your heart what it’s wants. Give it the go-ahead. Say to your heart: “Okay, heart, you want your freedom. Well, then, I emancipate you today, right now, and forevermore. You don’t need my stodginess. You never did. And now I love you first, my beautiful vibrating beating heart. I love you now, once and for all.” (#2101)

53 Deny love all you want, and it will not be denied. Give up the fight, beloveds. You are love regardless of the lengths you go to. Decide, once and for all, that you will cease trying to outdo love. Concede. Give in. Surrender to love. It has gotten the best of you. Your attempts to outrun love are defeated. You are love, and nothing, try as you may, nothing will change it. (#2062)

54 You are a soldier of fortune, and you lead an army armed with desire for peace and the means to make an armistice once and for all, at home and abroad. (#2052)

55 Your heart is to follow Mine, not some censuring whim of the errant mind. The mind is not meant to be the engineer to tell your heart to stop and go. Your mind is to tell your heart, once and for all : “Go. Go like a charger. Be a lighthouse whose light is always on. Give out your love fully at every moment. Never stint on it. (#2047)

56 No longer will I interfere and label one person worth love and another not. “I will accept, once and for all, that one beat of you, Heart, is worth more than a thousand of my perambulations, calculations, and ratings. (#2047)

57 Today the timbre of your voice will elevate the hearts of all far and near. Today your voice will signal the level of harmony that you wish to attract. What you say today and how you say it is important. Open up your heart once and for all, and let everyone in. You are to welcome other hearts into yours. As with a famine, you must share your rice. You would let no one be hungry. (#2020)

58 Oh, beloveds, choose love this morning. Choose it once and for all. Say, ”Here,” to love. Raise your hand for love. Vote for love. Do not vote for ego. Dispense with it instead. Stomp on it. You don’t need it. (#2006)

59 Since love is, and is what everything is made of, why not embrace love now and forevermore? Why not be what you are once and for all? Do this, and watch the lines fade from your face. Do this, and watch your eyes brighten. Watch the entire world rise to Heaven, carrying you with it. (#2001)

60 When life, holy life, becomes a chore, you may need more rest. Certainly, you need a vacation from your thoughts. When you get tired of cleaning or washing dishes, you have been forgetting Who it is that you serve. Perhaps you have even thought you serve no one at all. Will you now remember, once and for all, that you wash dishes for Me? Whatever you do, you do for Me. Whatever you do for others, you do for Me. Whatever you do for yourself, you also do for Me. (#1991)

61 You are a child of God, not a robot of the world. You are not a wind-up toy. Your voice is not a motorized recording in a doll. You are to speak for Me in the world, and, therefore, you are to speak only what is true and never false. This is a beautiful request I make of you, that you make no false statements today. Never mind what other people do. It is you I am speaking to you. It is you I ask to abandon guise, to forsake it once and for all. (#1990)

62 Love isn’t something you have to dig into like your pocket. Love is an eternal light. Decide, once and for all, that the lamp of love in your heart will be left on. Like a porch light, the love in your heart will light the way for everyone who walks by. You would not flicker your porch light on and off dependent upon who walks by. Know ahead of time, it is always a representative of Me who walks by, and you are a representative of Me who always leaves the light on. (#1942)

63 Let the love in your heart out to play today. Let it make friends with the universe. Let it shine forth and light and warm all the hearts in Heaven and on Earth, and then Heaven and Earth will be indistinguishable, and, once and for all, you will know happiness on Earth. (#1936)

64 In any case, you know that you are no longer the person you were then. You cannot keep returning to old houses you lived in. You live in a different house now. Live in it. Will you let go of the thrall the past keeps you in? Will you let go once and for all? Will you smile for Me now ? (#1923)

65 If you really want to rise as far as you say you do, then look at the stars and grasp the knowledge they would hand you. Accept, once and for all, that the way to find Me is to find Me. The way to discover Me is to discover Me. You can hear rumors of Me, but you find Me by finding Me. You can hear of where I have been, and all the wonders I have performed, yet you have to see for yourself. (#1905)

66 Beloveds, will you let the past go once and for all? All that was said and done, and all that was not said and not done are chains around your ankles. You cannot undo, and you cannot do over. You cannot rewrite one word of what was written in the past. You cannot go back to that flimsy moment of non-existent time and make corrections. You cannot put in a carat mark and insert a phrase. You cannot change the past because it is no longer. It never was really. It was some fiction you lived in for a while. (#1895)

67 Once appreciation for life overwhelms you, what else can you do but love? All you have to do is to accept the love in your heart once and for all, and not debate with it. Even if you have denied the love in your heart previously, love will stir from your heart now. (#1861)

68 Admittedly, if you had no body, you would not have feet to touch the ground. You wouldn’t have arms to reach out to Heaven either, you feel. You are into the chase. Yet, beyond body, you would know, once and for all, that you are Pure Being. And you would leap in joy that whatever form you find yourself in, you are pure Being. With or without body, you are Pure Being. You are My Pure Being. Come over to My way of thinking. (#1853)

69 Cast a benign eye on the world. Toss your love high. Let love go where it may. Let love fall on love. Once and for all, be done with whatever else has snuck into your heart. Love will spill it over, and it will evaporate. All the lesser emotions will be evicted never to return. There is room in your heart for love alone. Let love reign. Let love take full effect. Splash the world with your love — you will get splashed too. (#1845)

70 The mind cannot cope with this divergence. It is beyond the mind how you can be so warm one moment and so cold the next, how you can be filled with inexpressible bliss of God one moment, and the next, be inundated with broken pipes or grease spots on your clothing. You feel constantly interrupted from peace. Even in solitude you are interrupted. Your thoughts intrude. You interrupt yourself. You would reach the mountain top and stay forever. Why must you be distracted, you ask over and over again. You are at the summit, and why can’t you stay here forever, once and for all. (#1834)

71 You are your own hero. And, if you see yourself as a victim more than a hero, then you have appointed yourself victim. You have pointed the finger at yourself. You have made a declaration of hurt rather than a declaration of love. Turn in a different direction now. Leave the past once and for all. Do not replay your life. Lift it. (#1812)

72 And so, once again, I ask you to change your thoughts. Life asks you to change your thoughts. You do not have to be at the mercy of them. Throw off unhelpful thoughts now once and for all. They must get out of your way so that you can enjoy life. Discouraging thoughts are in your way. They can go, or you can leave them. Turn off one channel, and hop over to another channel in your brain. You’ve got it. You know you do. You know there is another channel or two with the music you like. Turn the volume up. (#1742)

73 «I accept once and for all that I am responsible for my thoughts. I am responsible for any hurt I carry with me. I am responsible for having taken someone’s carelessness or ignorance to heart, and I pledge to not do this again, not even once more. If an arrow reaches me, dear God, I will simply pluck it out.» (#1719)

74 Be true to love. Disease will vanish. It cannot exist in a world that knows its True Self. Heartache will vanish because love heals the heart. Headaches will vanish because you will not think so much, and you will know love more. There will be dancing in the streets and in Heaven when, once and for all, you acknowledge yourself love. Beloveds, thy name is love. (#1691)

75 Once and for all, will you be glad that you are specious child, created from and for My joy and the joy of the world? It is My genes you carry. It is My thought and My love that are your lineage. (#1665)

76 You will not always get your way. Concede once and for all that this is the case. You will not always get your way. Sometimes you may whether your way is better or not! It could happen that the whole world will bow down to you and say you are right, that your way is better than theirs, and that your way will become their way. Yet you must concede that this will not always happen…Once you concede this, you may not get so upset the next time you are not so honored. No matter who you are, how wonderful you are, how right you are, concede this: You will not always get your own way (#1638)

77 You are 100% bright light, but you have kept yourself in the shadows. Truly, children, you are not meant to be demure. You are not meant to be sought out. You are not meant to be discovered by others. You are meant to discover yourself. You are meant to walk out of the shadows, and be your Self once and for all. For all. (#1635)

78 Happiness exists always. It is your natural state. Anything else you feel is an interruption, a distraction, interference, static on the line. Let it sink in once and for all that you are meant for happiness. (#1632)

79 All whom you meet now, you will meet again. You have never been unmet. You know you will give up your fantasy of apartness, and you will recognize your Oneness once again. Consider that you are Oneness. You might as well venture there now. It is a foregone conclusion that your awareness will return to Oneness. Why not skip the steps and honor your Oneness as We speak? What do you have to lose but war and distress and worry and affront? If you hold those dear, then keep them. If you hold Oneness dear, then, once and for all, embrace it. (#1548)

80 Life on Earth is simpler when you remember that you are in service to Holy God. It is easy to settle the question, once and for all. You are not here on Earth for yourself. You certainly are not here for yourself alone. You are here to benefit your Creator, Creation, and all created beings. You are in service to the universe. (#1538)

81 Let your love not lag. Your love does not need to wend itself slowly down the curving paths of life, though it may, thought it certainly may. Yet your love would like to be flung to the world. Once and for all, it would like to be unfurled. (#1520)

82 Beloveds, while the world feeds your ego, it also chips away at it. Better to be done with ego once and for all. Throw your ego to the winds. What do you need it for? When did it ever give you a thimbleful of what you are worth? (#1508)

83 Your life is not meant to be set. It is meant to be stirred. You are not meant to be a sconce or painting hung on the wall. You are not meant to be glued in place, settled, nailed down, framed, parked once and for all. Life is not a garage you store your car in. There is no lock on life, no door that closes. (#1474)

84 Established in peace, the Buddha is not disrupted. Buddha is magnificent in his peace. His mind is calm. What can shatter his calmness of mind? What is he attuned to that you are not? What does he possess that you do not besides calm and deep awareness of his connectedness to Me? Why, you can have peace and love any time you decide. Decide once and for all. (#1454)

85 When you know the Infinite Power you are, you can relax once and for all. You can take a deep breath and know your containment. In powerfulness, there is life to live and no need to spend it on proving anything. (#1442)

86 You are not a dartboard of life. No. Nor are you the tennis ball batted back and forth. Nor are you the net that cannot move. Perhaps the tennis ball is life, and you are the hand that moves the tennis racket that hits the ball over the net. In any case, there is no lack of choices in life. You are making them all the time. Set your intention, and your choices are made for you all at once. You can choose once and for all. (#1439)

87 Death of the body is not such a huge thing as you have made it. But love, that is a different story. You may think I commit murder. I commit life. Once and for all, accept that there is no end to it. (#1407)

88 Why are you surprised when you discover that you care about life and what goes on it? Why are you surprised when you discover yourself more wonderful than you had thought? You know the difference between smallness and greatness. Now you have only to make the discovery, once and for all, that you are the embodiment of greatness. (#1386)

89 Will you, once and for all, choose benefit over disturbance? What advantage has there ever been to allowing a passing thing to shake your sense of well-being ? (#1303)

90 Know once and for all that you are a blessing. I blessed the Earth with you. I did not send you to repress love. I did not send you to repress love for yourself and to cover it with guilt. I did not create guilt. I created you, and I created you as love. Fall not far from the tree of your Father. (#1291)

91 Know once and for all that goodness and mercy shine on you like the radiating sun. Consider all the amazing overt and subtle things that the sun does for you without requiring that you be conscious of it. Sunshine works its magic on you with or without your awareness. (#1250)

92 Beloveds, accept once and for all, that negativity is a bounder, a freeloader that attaches itself to you. You can walk away from it. You don’t have to stay with it. Redesign your picture of yourself, and negativity will not adhere. Negative thoughts will fly away, for they cannot stay in an environment that rises above them. (#1205)

93 Because you see yourself distant from the stars does not mean that you are not one yourself. There is a great galaxy of stars on earth, and your light is not hidden from Me. Perhaps from yourself. Perhaps from others. Let My light that is within you dawn, so that you may see once and for all. Who you are and What you are made of. (#1185)

94 Today your eyes are new. Today you are open to love. You are closed to nothing. Whatever way you have been looking at the world, today you will look at it differently. You will open any wedges in your heart once and for all. (#1174)

95 A practical person chooses to let go. A practical person chooses to enjoy. This is not to say that you have to enjoy what you don’t. You do not enjoy being wounded, but you can enjoy something. You can enjoy something you never enjoyed before. You can enjoy learning, even when it is a lesson you have had many times before. Perhaps, if you finish with it, you can be finished with it once and for all. (#1114)

96 Tell earth about Heaven. Reveal Heaven on earth. Be the upholder of it. Accept once and for all that I do understand you and I do realize what a body on earth goes through. What is the significance of emphasizing worldly conditions. Why would you want to make all that clear to Me when you could make Me clear on earth. (#1112)

97 The world seems to be adamant about declaring the dour while downplaying the true. Perhaps wars are caused, subconsciously, of course, to prove that love is a passing thing while hate reigns in flying colors. War would like to vanquish love once and for all. (#1107)

98 Know this. Know this once and for all. You are My blessed child on earth. You are no less My blessed child on earth that you are in Heaven. Oh, yes, various are the circumstances. Now consider you were blessed with them. No matter how disturbing the circumstances, consider you were blessed with them. Consider that because of your worthiness, you were given all the circumstances that you were given. You did not land in them by mistake. (#1035)

99 Love is an unstoppable energy. Rivers have no choice but to flow. And you have no choice but to love. Yes, I am talking to you. You are before Me. This message is for your eyes only. This that I say is something to be taken personally. Don’t look to see who is behind you. I am before you, and My eyes peer into yours, and My eyes claim you. I claim you once and for all. (#1032)

100 Be honest with yourself today. Take away all masks and disguises. Be that beautiful being that you are, just as you are, you, undisguised, you, revealed, you a beautiful being on earth, learning, once and for all, of what you are made and Who made you as a reflection and tribute to Himself. (#997)

101 You have self-determination. You are not a will o’ the wisp. Winds may blow, but they do not blow you away. You are still here, aren’t you? Breezes may soothe you. A storm may make you come out and, once and for all, stand strong in your own presence in the light issued from Heaven. (#942)

102 Behold yourself today. Denounce yourself no longer. Stand upright. Come into My light. Be the first to proclaim it. Revel in it. Stand tall in it. You are not the self you thought you were. You are beholden to no man, and you are beholden to no image of you but the one I have, the true image of you, for you were made in My image, a bright light for the world. You were cast on earth to emblazon My light once and for all. (#942)

103 This is a wonderful thing now to know that you are the sole proprietor of the love in your heart. This means that you are the boss. You alone have the key. There is only one key, and no one else has the capability of turning it. You may have thought otherwise, but no one except you has the capability of opening your heart or closing it. You are the manager and magician of your own heart. This awareness puts an end to the imagined power of circumstances once and for all. (#836)

104 Will you, once and for all, toss out all your worries, all your guilt for things done or not done, all your concerns about tomorrow, all your aches and pains, all your moanings and groanings, and join with Me in the adventure called life? Leave off the past. Depart from it. Jump over it like a rope. (#834)

105 «I am the beloved of God. I am the most loved being in the whole world. I cannot be anything else. I accept my fate once and for all, and my fate is love. God created me, and God loves what He created. I am glad that God loves everyone, and I accept that everyone means me too. God is not careless in his love. He does not grant it frivolously. He is sincere in the love He gives. True, He gives it away, but that does not make it less.» (#820)

106 If you felt that you were truly the apple of My eye, how would you be different? What would be hard for you then when you knew deep in your heart My inestimable love for you? What could stop you? What, in that case, could claim you other than My love?  Your step would be lighter, your posture changed. Your complexion would glow. Your eyes would shine. Nothing could take your smile away for you would know, once and for all, how much you are loved, how much you mean to Me and occupy Me. I keep you in My pocket as a unique gem I treasure. I keep taking you out to look at and adore. I do not stop thinking of you for one moment

107 Hear Me once and for all: You are My dispatch on Earth, and it is My message that you give. Emanate My message for the world. Surely you did not think it was your personal wants and ignorance you were to display? You are a leader of the universe. (#624)

108 Be sure to not mix ego’s wiles with your own essence. Ego isn’t you. Ego is nothing. You are everything. Ego is merely a placard you carry in front of you. Ego is a flimsy thing. Undo your dependence on this thing called ego once and for all. Let ego go its way, and you go Ours. (#621)

109 If you are knitting a sweater, you can count two ways. You can count how much there is ahead of you to do. You can count how little you have done. OR, you can say to yourself: “I started the sweater. I had the impulse, and I followed it. I chose a color, and I chose the yarn. I chose to make a sweater, and I am making it.”  “Making it” is an expression that means success to you. Know once and for all, that you are making it. (#577)

110 I tell you now, once and for all, that you are meant for greatness. You are to seat yourself in greatness. You rise to greatness by accepting it as a cloak you might put around yourself when you feel chilly. I offer you that cloak now. I offer you the cashmere of greatness. Begin to feel how you feel when you wear cashmere and find that it was yours all along, how you feel when you find that you cannot remove it, when you find that you have no choice at all, that your only choice is greatness, because greatness is where you come from, and greatness is what you are. You wrap yourself in your own greatness. (#569)

111 This is just a reminder that you do not need the constant conscious thought of love to anchor love in the world; you are a purveyor-displayer-relayer of love just the same. Accept once and for all that you are a musician of love on earth for the attunement of all. Raise your eyes and ears, and you raise the world higher, note by note. (#468)

112 Why are there mountains? So you can climb them. Why are there mountains? So you can climb them and see over them. Why are there mountains? So you can climb them and see over them and learn, once and for all, that you go where you see. (#449)

113 You have turned your fears into shadows and called them the enemy. Indeed your fears are your enemy because you let them rule you. Be your own ruler. Cast out fear because it is only dark imaginings. Be your own object of love and come to Me right now in the secret places of your heart, and, once and for all, claim Me as your truth and abundance. (#393)

114 Accept once and for all that you are My light. Breathe in My light and breathe it out. That is the course of your life. Exchange the word “light” for “life”.  (#386)

115 Will you accept My presence in your life once and for all? This is no great ceremony I am offering to you. There is no great initiation. There is no grand proclamation. There is no change whatsoever because the changeless cannot be changed, and you and I, in the depths of creation, are changeless. Only the surface makes marks. Only the surface gets dented. We may be seen on the surface, but We are far more than the surface. We are the depths of creation itself. (#364)

116 Judgment comes from the past, and you must leave it there. Once and for all, dispense with judgment. Judgment does not serve you well. Mistakes are made, but you do not have to continue them, not in thought or deed. You have come to the end of judgment at last. (#361)

117 The beauty within you is waiting to be expressed. It is My beauty there. Can you not express My beauty that you house? Will you, once and for all, accept that I am what you are made of. (#288)

118 Don’t wait for life to come to you and decide if you like what it has brought. Hop to life, and seek what you like. I will tell you, once and for all, that you want Me as much as I want you, and I want you very much. I want your recognition of the soul that you are. I want you to know you. We are the same yearning for each other. You feel Mine. I feel yours, and We come closer together through your awareness of what you never could lose in the first place. And that is My love in your heart. (#246)

119 You must end fear once and for all. It is the concept of fear that you must end. Until you do, you will always find fears to fill the concept. What you have is fear, not fears. You have this episodic villain called fear who runs loose in you and grabs onto many things, one after another. He finishes with one, shows it for what it is, and then grabs onto another to take its place. (#223)

120 Step back from events in your life. When you are amidst the upset, you do not see far enough. You must remove yourself from the fray in your mind, and sit back a little. Let go of it. When you let go of the fray, you will see more choices. You will see possibilities that, in your excitement, you overlooked. You will even see that, if, indeed, your first fear does come to pass, it is not so dreadful as your dread of it, for you would be finished with it once and for all and walk away from it no different from when you entered into it. (#186)

121 I do not give you daydreams. I give you Reality. What is so hard to accept? That I made you in My image? It is harder to deny than it is to accept because in denial you go against your heritage of life. You turn away your name and pretend amnesia. It is pretended because there is not one of you who does not know his makings. There is not one of you who does not know Me. Is it such a leap to acknowledge, once and for all, that you are My meeting place, and that I live in you ? (#99)

122 You must let go of your proscribed outcomes. You must even let them out of your sight, for you do not know what greatness lies before you and what you have withheld from yourself by holding on to certain outcomes and disallowing others. In other words, you do not know what lies just over the horizon. Will you, once and for all, allow Me to give greater to you than you have deemed within your province ? (#83)
