Now you give – Heaven Letter #3121
God said:
Whatever occurs in life, whatever smallness you may feel, you are not smallness. You are Greatness. No matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how disappointed in yourself you are, no matter what mean actions, no matter what seeming absence of love, you are Greatness. If you were not Greatness, you would not react so strongly to your observations of smallness in yourself and in others. You would not be so disappointed.
It may well be that when you notice smallness within yourself, you are breaking out of it. You are seeing it now. Once upon a time, you thought you were right to hold back love and hold back money or anything, and now you see differently. Now you are appalled.
The stumbling block to loving yourself this moment seems to be your acts and emotions of smallness. Once they made sense, and now they make no sense at all. Beloveds, they make no sense because of your very Greatness.
Be glad for your growth and move on. Leave the smallness behind in every way, and that includes thoughts about it.
Once you lived in a hovel. Now you live in a mansion. Live in it. Do not keep one foot in the hovel. Let it go.
Once in terms of recognition, you were low on love and big on selfishness, and now you regret. Get past the regret. Regret is no friend of yours.
Once your garden was ramshackle. Now your garden is Eden-like. Where shall you spend your time now? in the garden of the past that you walk through with your mind? or in the garden of the present where you can walk and touch and see and breathe in the scent of the flowers?
Beloveds, it does not matter what you once were and what you did or didn’t do. It matters what you are now. Now you act accordingly.
Once you were four feet tall, and now you are six feet tall. Before you grew to six feet, you were a lesser height. You would not berate yourself because once you were shorter.
Once you were a person who saw only so far. Now you are a person who sees further.
Once you were a person who grasped, and now you are a person who gives. Be glad about who you are now.
Take it in your stride that once you were less than you are now.
Perhaps you were an artist who painted pictures. Today you see that your paintings weren’t as good as you thought at the time. You can’t undo those paintings. No matter, now you have a canvas to paint on today. What is there to be sorry about? Instead of regretting, be glad at what is right now. Be glad you have come a long way.
You are entering My mansion. When you see My mansion, how shabby seems where you came from. Now you are surrounded by shiny gems where before there was straw. Is this not to be happy about? Certainly, this isn’t to be unhappy about.
Perhaps where you used to live, you didn’t let anybody in. You kept your door closed. And now where you live, you open the door wide. I am talking about your heart. Your heart has grown. It has expanded. Once your heart had tiny rooms. There simply wasn’t room in it for others to enter. Now there is plenty of room. How glorious is your heart now.
Once, perhaps, you saw yourself as a pauper of love, and now you are able to see yourself rich in love. Forget about when you were a pauper. You are a pauper no longer. Once your heart was constricted, and now your heart is wide open, and now you are wealthy of heart, and now you give.

Creation from joy or pain – Andrea Hess
We all know what it’s like to create out of struggle, fear, and pain.We’ve all been there! Life has knocked us off our game, and creating a new experience is not optional – it’s a necessity. From in between
a rock and a hard place, we gather our resources and embrace change.
Hopefully, we create circumstances that serve us much better than those before change “happened to us.” But often we simply take a step from intolerable to bearable, and stop there.
But there is also creation out of joy. We create something new, not because the old isn’t working, but because growth can’t be found bydoing the same things over and over again. We embrace change, not
because we have to, but because we are exercising the power of choice in order to experience ourselves in a more expansive way.
If we are continually creating out of joy, we will most likely avoid creating out of pain. When we are always in expansion, we don’t need to manifest drastic circumstances in order to break ourselves out of a
rut. We don’t need to manifest the loss of a relationship or a career if we are already fully and consciously engaged in the process we came here for – the process of spiritual growth. Rather than needing life’s
big stick to move us forward, we are already taking the steps that lead us further into the expression of our purpose.
So how do we switch our basic operating system to create from joy instead of pain? The difference between the two is simple: Tolerance.
For example, how much abuse are we willing to tolerate before we finally leave a relationship? Do we ignore thoughtlessness demonstrated on a first date? Do we overlook a lack of kindness in the first six months?
Do we tolerate emotional abuse for a few years? Does it take physical violence to finally move us forward? For some people, tolerance extends even past this point!
How tolerant are we of a dwindling bank account? Do we change our financial circumstances when we can’t go on the vacation we want?
When we fall behind on our bills? Or when we have tens of thousands in credit card debt racked up? What is the point at which we are in enough pain to embrace change?
As glorious spiritual Beings, is it really appropriate to tolerate any circumstances that do not utterly express our Divine nature?
What if we reduced our willingness to tolerate anything that isn’t joyful, fulfilling, and abundant? What if we became so committed to expressing our Divinity in every single life circumstance that
anything less would immediately inspire a small but significant course correction to the experience we desire for ourselves? We would always be in the process of joyful creation, always embracing
change as part of our journey of spiritual evolution.
Tolerance sneaks up on us. What we first brush off as being “not so bad” because “other people have it much worse” attracts more of the same, until we look at our circumstances and wonder how we could have
let ourselves go so far – into financial difficulties, abusive relationships, ill health, obesity. Tolerance is saying “yes” to less than our Divinity. And this responsive, abundant Universe will
serve up more of the same until we step back into our power and reclaim what has always been ours.
Creating something new does not invalidate what we’ve created so far.
We are, after all, never “done” or “there.” It’s appropriate to fix what isn’t broken, just because we would express ourselves more authentically through a new circumstance.
Don’t look for what’s not working. Look at what you may be tolerating -even just a little bit. This is the key to joyful creation.

Our secret voices
What would you wish for yourself if you could have it right now? The job you have been wanting for so long? Your soul mate at last? Comfort at the passing of your mom? Support in a time of darkness and despair? Someone to dance with in your brightest time? Just to know that you are heard and understood? Someone who would be frank and open with you, telling it like it is?
Would you believe it if I told you that you have provided yourself with a thousand voices, countless messengers if you would but listen? That every single person in your universe, from the stranger passing you in the street to your partner coming home tonight, is you living yourself in countless varied ways? That their words hold truths for yourself as they mirror you back to yourself… that their words may sometimes not be what you want to hear but they are always who YOU are.
If you could suspend disbelief and for a day or so only, take note of your surroundings, of the words of the song playing, the words of a stranger to you, their attitude to you, the love given to you by your mate, by your pets, your children… listen to them, look at them knowing that they are YOU, living through them, beaming back at you different aspects of yourself, talking to you in words of comfort, support, love – and yes, sometimes anger, fear and pain – but always holding a mirror up to yourself so that you can see yourself clearly.
You are not alone – ever – you have provided yourself with the most amazing, most loving support structure – YOU, as part of Source, as part of this totally unbelievably numinous Energy that is Us at our best, our most creative, our most loving, our most eternal… and our most human. We have a chance to live both as exalted and expanded Humans and Our Higher Selves at the same time, the ability to live on several dimensions at once – how amazing we are!
How amazing we are.

Where’s my stuff??
The impatience that we all share when waiting for our dreams to materialize is so much part of the human condition. We live in a time of instant gratification, fast food, fast cars, fast tempo, instant communication…
It is almost inevitable that we would react in the same way when we attempt to apply our knowledge of the Law of Attraction, it is so ingrained in us already.
And so it is perhaps very important for us to understand the reason for our reaction, instead of beating up on ourselves for acting this way. And when you understand relaxed expectation (knowing that trying to push things will keep them away, and , worse, bring you more of your current unwanted situation) and you realize that relaxed expectation opens those gates behind which your stuff is lying piled up, you cause a shift in your consciousness which is irreversible – and which sets in motion the laws of the universe, bringing your stuff to you.
Lighten up, it’s coming.
