Heavenletters

The more I read God's words in Heavenletters the more I wonder what will remain of all the things I have ever felt and thought and said and of all I ever did or did not because I thought it was necessary to solve the problem of life, of being human, and to become worthy of salvation or whatever name the pie in the sky happened to have during one or the other epoch of this life. Not much.

When you do not confine yourself to your random feelings, you confine yourself to imposed rules. You board yourself up with slats of "Thou shalt" and "Thou shalt not", when all you have to do is come along with Me.

It is too simple for words, that's the problem. There is nothing we have to be or do - and we, oh, so want to do the right thing, the good thing. We want to earn. And it's not possible. How hard it is to stop this learned impulse to do all the right things and to earn and to become deserving. How hard it ist to erase that learned misconceptions that requirements have to be met before we can be happy, free, at home, in paradise. Just come along with Me, it's not difficult, it requires no skills, noch achievements, no goodness, no obedience, nothing. If there is something you think you cannot do yet, loving your neighbor for instance, then come along anyway. No requirement means no requirement. "But God, I don't even know whether I really believe You are there at all." "That's all right, just come along." "But God, I'm not even sure whether You are my top priority or not." "It doesn't matter, just come along."

Here is something from the next Heavenletter (#731, Money and the Good You Do). I think it's amazing:

When you have great riches accorded to you, what will your heart do with them? How many purchases will come before a thought of Me? Don't feel bad. I am not scolding you. I am just pointing out where I seem to be on your list. Give yourself credit if I am on your list at all.

I'm not altogether clear as to what I'm writing about here. Perhaps I'm simply flabbergasted at how much freedom God in Heavenletters offers. An easy-to-love God. It must be that I did not expect something like this.
