HEAVEN ARCHIVES

Dear God,

I cried when I read Your words about each of us being the tender of Your sheep. I want to be gentle with others. This feels better than anything, to be gentle with the flock. But I get so lost in feeling angry at others sometimes. Or so lost in feeling so responsible for another's well-being that I take on the job of being You for them. Then, of course, I fail, and the cycle of anger and resentment begins again. I am so sorry I am not living up to Your expectations. Help me …

My Dearest Diane,

You are truly a tender of My sheep. Did you think you failed if you were not always gentle? You have taken on a courageous assignment. Human and divine are joined in your body. The divine you is eternally gentle, for it knows nothing else. You have chosen to blend with the human which knows pain and suffering and loss and fear and guilt and anger. Here is where the magic happens — the incarnation into the human body, believing that your humanness is the only reality. Then the surrender. The surrender to Me. And the journey back home.

My dearest, you are on the journey home. And in the process of surrendering and remembering, you are expanding the universe. You are a rainbow warrior. Yes, it has felt like a battle, but you keep calling truces. You are doing My work here. My flock tenders have many different jobs. Keep calling truces. The war is over. When you know you are eternally loved, what do you need to fight for?
