Introduction

When I sat down to write Love Letters, I thought I had a good idea about where I was going with the concept.  Well, things did not go as planned.  God wanted to speak to me.  So, instead of following my own assumptions and writing what I thought I was supposed to write, I listened.  Instead of me writing about love, love wrote to me.

Now, as I read back over Love Letters, it is personal.  It is my one-on-one with God.  I am telling you this not for you to think I am trying to be God but rather to express that I am His messenger.  I only wrote down the notes that were given to me.  Although Love Letters is personal, I believe that the letters are for you as well.

When you read Love Letters, do so with an open mind and allow the words to speak to you.  This book has changed my life and if you are willing, it will change yours too.  These letters are for you, what you do with them is your choice.

- E’yen A. Gardner

Letter 1

My Love,

Who can stand before love?  Who is greater than I am?  Have I not created everything?  My thoughts are greater, yet I consider your thoughts.

Love creates, to love.

I have come to reveal your beauty.  Ask and know the truth.

Letter 2

My Love,

Love has no end.  Nothing do I hate; I am Love.  You see flaws I see art.  Every stroke, every accent is purposeful.  The depth of your design was made to house me.  Where your heart is, there also your love dwells.

Letter 3

My Love,

Feel my warmth and come in from the cold.  Let go of your past and forgive those that have caused you pain.

I have seen your wounds and felt your pain.  I was there when you were hurt.  I was there when you lost your innocence.  I don’t deny your hurt; don’t deny my cure.

Will you forget?  Will you arise?  Stand and leave your past behind.

Letter 4

My Love,

Love remembers no wrongs.  Don’t be afraid, I will not judge.  I will not condemn.

Lift your head and see beyond the blemishes.  I don’t hate you and I don’t punish you.

I see your fear and it pains me.  When the world left you, I was there.  When your loved one passed away, I was there.  When you were hurt, I cried with you.

Though the shadow of death has followed you, you live.  I will not leave you.

You have the power to create the world you desire.  I heard your cry; now hear mine.  Follow me.

Letter 5

My Love,

Lay down your load, have a seat.  You have carried weights that you feel responsible for.  Instead of identifying with love, you have identified with your responsibilities.

You have lost your smile.  Lighten up and see the world through the eyes of love.

Welcome the sky above and the earth below.  You can’t control what you don’t possess, don’t try.  Learn to enjoy what is before you.

Embrace the obstacles that make you better, challenge the hindrances that make you stronger.  Don‘t be afraid, to change your mind.

Dwelling in you is a well of life; take the cap off and let it flow.

Letter 6

My Love,

Smile, it will strengthen your heart.  You can’t be happy until you let go of being sad.  Fill your mind with good thoughts, and you will produce good actions.

‘Good’ is relative to your purpose, so seek good and you will find good.  Position yourself to expect good things to happen and good will come.

You are the dictator of your will.  You always have a choice.

Letter 7

My Love,

Good stands before you.  Yet, your hands have pushed love away.  You are so pure that you cannot embrace love rather you hate it.

I am the spirit that you resist.  I am the one you protest.  While the darkness has encompassed your path, I am here waiting to be your light.  Light always exists.

Your perception creates the world that you experience.  Regardless of where you are, I am with you.  No matter what you do, I am with you.  Regardless of what you fear, I am with you.  Do not resist, for I am with you.

Letter 8

My Love,

Love regards no law.  Power is given to what you value most, so value love.

I know best, yet I force not my words upon you but offer them.  It is your choice to believe.

Love is unconditional.  Wherever you find yourself; love.

Love is not based on merit; you do nothing to receive it.  Love starts with you.  To love others without loving yourself will not profit you.

Love comes from within.  What you give to others, you must first give to yourself.

Letter 9

My Love,

Evil and hate are one, as is good and love.  You hold the power of which one you will live under.  Every choice comes from one of these two traits.

Understand that you are not under obligation or law; you have a choice to follow love.

I am determined to lead you, when you are willing to follow.

Letter 10

My Love,

Love brings understanding, love cures.  Painful experiences provoke you to make choices with no understanding.

You want to cure diseases because you lost a loved one.  You want to stop injustice, so you protest and fight people that are for it.

Why are you struggling to create a world by force?  Forcing people to conform to your beliefs never brings change, it produces more hate.

You don’t have to agree with what someone else does but don’t allow what they choose, to corrupt your heart from loving.

Open your heart to love without conditions.  Bring about a positive change by looking at others and seeing yourself.

Love regards no conditions.  Love suffers with a smile.  Love has no boundaries.

Love simply loves.

Letter 11

My Love,

Don’t lose sight of who you are.  Don’t give up on yourself.  What you deny, I love.  Don’t hate what I love.  Don’t destroy what I have created.

Traveling is not enough if you are lost and won’t ask for directions.  I wait for your heart.

Confess what you want, not what you think I want to hear.  I will open my hand and satisfy your desire through your truth.

I abide in those that freely reveal their hearts.

You don’t have to change to be with me, I never asked you to do anything but love.

I know that is something you can do.  It is something that you can accomplish for it is who you are.

Don’t worry; just make a choice.  You are my choice and I don’t make mistakes.  Your decisions are all working for you, not against you.

I have been mislabeled; you think I want to restrict and change you.  You think I hate you but it is not true.  Don’t label me, for I have not labeled you.

You are free to be who you are, accept me for who I am.  Don’t separate from me just because you see something in me that you don’t see in yourself.

Your weakness is where my strength is seen.  I choose not to be seen separate from you but through you.

Letter 12

My Love,

Every challenge is met by love.  When you are faced with the temptation to hate, conquer evil with love.

A soft word cleanses a broken heart.  Kindness covers wrath and meekness produces peace.

Love is not afraid of losing, for in defeat it is still victorious.

Sacrifice is not pleasant.  It exposes you to pain that cannot be measured.  Sacrifice is necessary to defeat hate for it overcomes enemies by making them friends.

Love is kind and gentle, even when provoked to be angry.  Love is open and transparent, even though its secrets are exposed and ridiculed.

To win, you must sacrifice hate.  Love works in those that allow it to work.  When you sacrifice your emotions of anger, bitterness and rage, you are able to receive the solution to your situation.

Letter 13

My Love,

Forgiveness is love, misunderstood.  Forgiveness operates for the past.

When you are offended or hurt by the actions of someone, it is not because of something that they might do, it is because of something they did.

Whatever happened festers in your mind and then your mind receives it as an enemy.  Its poison contaminates your brain waves and blood.  As it travels through your body, it burns holes in places deep within as your mind tries to fight it off.

The struggle feeds the power of memory, giving it a secure home inside of you and you become accustomed to the emotions the memories provoke.

The solution is simple but hard to swallow: forgiveness.  It is the antidote to the poisons in you.  It opens the scar tissue and properly extracts the poison out of your body.  The memory can then be healed with no poison remaining.

Forgiveness does not change what has occurred, it takes the stinger out and cleanses the wound so that you can move forward and live.

Forgiveness is for you.  Forgiving pushes you far beyond the offence, into perfect peace.

Let go of hate and embrace love.  What good is there to fight hate with hate?  You have been poisoned; embrace the antidote and love again.

Don’t see the face of the offender on everyone that comes your way.  You are built to love, don’t resist it.  There is no truth in hate, it is blinded by rage.

To combat hate, your eyes must see beyond the rage.  The offense can wound you but what is more tragic is the loss of vision.

When you have been offended, you don’t see the goodness in the offender.

Love waits for your return.  It awaits your eyes being opened to what is truly before you.

Letter 14

My Love,

You love not what you see because you see not what you love.

My ways are within you.  When you understand who you are, you cause the world to change in your favor.

Things move when love moves.  Love yourself, forgive yourself, be merciful to yourself, so that there will be hope beyond yourself.

Letter 15

My Love,

Hatred spreads from those that hate what they see.  They are looking for love but never find love in their selves.

Consider a child forced to fulfill a role their parents envisioned for them.  They suppress their natural desire just to please their parents.  The child can’t seem to find its own happiness, for they were told what happiness is.

The pressure of pleasing others destroys them.  They end up hating the image of what they’ve become and hate the life they were forced to live.

They have lost sight of love because they have not realized that they have a choice.  This is how man interacts with Me.

You force yourself to do things that don’t reflect who you are, because you were told it was the right thing to do.  Your manufactured title means nothing to Me.

You are my child, I care about you.  The truth of who you are will set you free.

Letter 16

My Love,

The enemy is using subtle things to turn your thoughts away from love.  Whom do you resemble?

The enemy has influenced you, confessing to be doing my bidding but you have no knowledge of love.  You have professed heaven, yet resemble hell.

Love exists in you but it is inactive because you believe the “wolf.”  You believe his words to be true for you see a glimpse of light, yet you have believed a lie.

The dysfunction of man is your propensity to believe a lie.  The truth is, I love you but you reject my love.  You would rather be “right,” than loved.

I don’t want you to perish, nor do I want to see you suffer, but if you don’t want love, I can’t force you to accept it.

Letter 17

My Love,

The world is backwards, appropriating what it means to receive salvation and focusing on heaven.  Preaching in the streets and professing truth, but speak in ignorance.

Why would I create a world, a universe, just to give you access to heaven?

Your home is here.  Your purpose is now.  You were not created just to go to heaven, you were created to be fruitful, multiply and subdue the earth.

Letter 18

My Love,

Opposition is always present but you have the power to overcome all with love.

A thought without action, leads to action with no thought.  Don’t act without thought, don’t think and not act.

You have been made to be fruitful; this means your thoughts have the potential to create fruit.

Letter 19

My Love,

What is your on mind?  What are you thinking?  Your thoughts will create your future.  If you don’t like what you think about, change your mind.

A barren womb cannot bring forth a child but an open womb can bring forth many children.

Just as every apple is unique, so is everything created by love.

Letter 20

My Love,

Love holds no expectations; love chooses to accept the path you choose.

My expectation is no expectation at all; no normality or conformity but discovery.

Letter 21

My Love,

Things gain their value through you.  The earth, the world, is as beautiful as you make it to be.

If you think it is dark and evil, then that is what you will see.

You can love ninety percent of the world, but you will always focus on the ten percent that you hate.

The world is beautiful from my point of view.  I don’t see anything wrong with what I created.

Until you completely love what you see in the mirror, you cannot fully embrace My world.  What you believe determines what you see.

Many see their worst fears happen. They believe more in their fears than they believe in love.  They believe that being out of control is dangerous, so they try to avoid danger but actually lead themselves directly into it.

The depth of the pit you are in is determined by how much you struggle to get out.  Your security is in my love.

Stop destroying yourself by trying to find satisfaction with things.  Be honest and confess that you don’t know what you want; you don’t know yourself.

There is a wealth of liberty before you; there is no better time to discover it than now.

I have planted desires in you that you have yet to discover.  Know that they have a purpose; don’t ignore them, don’t analyze them but actively go after your desires in love.

Don’t exist with potential, live with power.

Letter 22

My Love,

You are connected to all.  When you give, you receive.  When you empty yourself, you fill yourself.

When you love others, you love yourself.  Your own blessing is in your hands.  When you bless others, you bless yourself.

Letter 23

My Love,

When your eyes are pure, you can find Me.

Love cannot be restricted by age, love has no boundaries.

The boundaries you place around your “house” do not prevent unwanted guests; it only hinders those that need to see your light.  You place “fences” around to prevent your neighbors from seeing your life.  You want privacy but love is meant to be shared, not hoarded.

When you hide from your neighbors, they can’t help you when you are in desperate need.  Don’t hide from the One that can help you.

My hand moves when you yield your fences to me.  When your guard is down, you receive what you need.  Your safety is My concern, not yours.

Open your heart; let out and let in.  You don’t have to live alone; you don’t have to be afraid of being hurt.  I understand you want control but you can’t control love.  You can’t create a perfect environment, for love strives in all conditions.

Letter 24

My Love,

Your life was founded on unpredictability.  You expect to control your future by reason but you were made to be unreasonable.  It does not matter how long you look for reason, you will not find it by controlling your environment.

The perspective of man is to like what keeps him settled and hate all that challenges comfort.

People who see the world through their fear of loss are never aware of the life in front of them.  My presence is apparent to those that seek Me.

What you create is meant to serve you, not you serve it.

Things are temporary but love lives beyond death.

Don’t focus more on the pain than the person in pain.

Love people; for through love, even death can’t separate you.

Letter 25

My Love,

Grace is free; you can have it whenever you want it.  You can give it to whomever you want to.  Grace never runs out or gets old.  You don’t earn grace; you receive it.

Love holds no merit system.  Love values the relationship more than the service.  Love values the sinner more than the sin; it values the offender more than the offence.

Love understands and still loves.  Love sees the mess and cleans it up.  Love focuses on you, not on what you do.

You are valuable without merit; you are priceless.

Your “things” carry a price; even when you live according to those “things,” you are still priceless.

When you are stripped of everything, you see that the wealth you carry is love.  Love is what draws you to Me when you are broken and hurt.  Love draws you to Me when no one else understands and judgment is placed over you.

Let Me reveal your wealth, don’t look for the world to value you.  Find the value within yourself.  You are the gift, not your talent.

There is no need to have worldly treasure, if you don’t discover your treasure.

All other treasures fade and rust but you can live forever.  Love never fails, it never dies.  Love is yours. I am yours.

Letter 26

My Love,

Grace will lead you to your dreams.  Grace will lift you up.  Grace will reveal who you are.

Receive grace and live, I am close to those that need me.

Letter 27

My Love,

You are good enough.  You have what it takes to overcome every challenge in front of you.

You are covered.  Your mistakes are covered, your choices are covered, and your life is covered.

You are covered in love, I will not let go of what I love.

What is your desire?  What I have, I give freely.  You don’t have to worry, I have you covered.

Before your existence, I planned your days.  I provided for your life.

Know that love is yours; you will not go bankrupt by sharing it.

I waste nothing; everything has a purpose.  Simply put, it is “all good.”

When you see love, you see.

Letter 28

My Love,

I care about your situation; I want to hear your heart.  Please let me heal your heart.

The external idol you call on is powerless; it can’t protect you from the on slot of life – love can.

The gates are open, your supply is ready.  Open your hands, receive what you need.

Letter 29

My Love,

Stress is the resistance of love.  Holding on to stress prevents you from receiving love’s freedom.

Love can’t be controlled.

When you release your insecurities, you can live in confidence and you unlock the door to your happiness.  The more restrictive you are, the more you reject love.

You cannot cheat where law does not exist.  You cannot be tempted if nothing is forbidden.

In love, no rule or law can define you.

Letter 30

My Love,

You desire to express yourself but are continually labeled by people who think they know “the way.”

I don’t see a Christian, Muslim or a devil worshipper.  I see a child; my child.

You are living a structured life, based on your comfort zone, calling all that challenge it “evil.”  You have lost sight of who you are, so now the label is too important to lose.

You separate yourself from others, for they reflect all that you don’t want to be.  That is not you, that is your ego.

You cannot control life; you cannot predict the future.

Your laws have blinded you from the important things.  When you try so hard to control, ultimately you are what is controlled.

Fear is the motivator of control, it puts barriers around you to avoid being afraid.

You are not meant to be controlled.  You cannot function or move in your desires until you let go of control.

You are covered; you don’t have to “play it safe.”  You have the freedom to live without concern.  Live without regard for tomorrow, there is no need to worry.  Allow the dew of the morning to saturate your life.

There is no turn you can make that I do not know of; I have covered all of your choices with love.  Make the choice and receive the love you need for it.

Life is not about consequences, it is about choices.  Your choices don’t alarm me; they motivate me.  Your actions are not evil, they are just your actions.

Free and moving is better than being still and afraid because you can’t create without action.  You can’t love and not act.

I pursue those that make choices.

Letter 31

My Love,

You cannot fail; embrace the love in front of you.

Fear is destructive and causes you to hate.

You cannot function properly while afraid; you cannot see the goodness of something if you are afraid of it.  My love casts out fear and control.

You don’t need the title, you can function as you choose.  I am seen through you, not the title.  Walk in love, embracing who you are.  Don’t covet titles.

Just love.

Letter 32

My Love,

You can have it all when you realize you have it all.

No one should treat you better than you treat yourself.

Many doors can create many opportunities but they may not lead you to your solution.  What good is a solution if you do not know how to get to it?

I am the solution.  I am the way.  I light your path.  What you seek is not answers, you seek comfort.  Yet, comfort without understanding is ignorance.

Your hand can open a door; it is love that holds it open.

Letter 33

My Love,

Your closet is full of things you don’t wear.  You have nothing to hide, you have nothing to be ashamed about, open your closet.

What are you afraid of?  You cannot discern what is worth keeping until you take it off the hanger.

Don’t hide who you are to satisfy the needs of others; they have closets too.  Pressure comes from living up to someone else’s standard.  You have nothing to prove.

Stop hiding who you are just so you can be accepted.  Come out of the closet and embrace love.

Letter 34

My Love,

What you believe cannot be greater than love.  Beliefs separate and cause wars.  People protest allowing their beliefs to cause them to hate their opposition.  Beliefs can both build up and destroy.  Believe in Love.

Are your enemies unworthy of love?  You may not see the world like they do but can you love them anyway?

Love covers all wrongs and supersedes judgment.  Love looks for peace and finds it. Love sacrifices beliefs to build bridges.  Love acts with meekness, not force.

What you see as evil is based on your beliefs.  Good and evil dwell in you and when you accept it, you can accept it in others.

Letter 35

My Love,

Does not My love cover all sin?  What is it you plan to accomplish by classifying which sin is worse?

You reject liberty and indulgence because you think they are evil, yet, your desire remains.

You suffer from the stress of trying to do “right” when your heart wants to do “wrong.”

It upsets you to see others freely enjoying the things you desire.  You resent the real you, you are proud of your resistance, you are ignorant and you resist love.

My concern is your intent.

When you indulge without me, you allow your desires to rule you.  You overindulge in things which cause you to become consumed by it.  When you resist it, it does not take away the desire, it just makes the desire stronger.

When you give me your desire, I give you the freedom to enjoy it.  It is not about if things are right or wrong, it is all about why you want it.

Do your habits relieve stress or do they cause more stress?

I am your solution, nothing else will satisfy you.  Don’t resist love; love is available whenever you want it.

Letter 36

My Love,

Ask me and I will freely give to you.

When you get what you desire are you satisfied?  Is it what you thought it would be?  What is it that you really want?  I know what you want, do you know?

I am what you need I dwell in all that you want.  I am in the water you drink and the air you breathe.  I am in the children you love.

Don’t look to be validated by laws that I never asked you to keep.

Embrace life, reach every dream and challenge all facts.

Help others to be the best they can be.

Letter 37

My Love,

You have left home, looking to “make it” on your own.  You had success but now you know failure.  You are used and broken, come home.

I am waiting on you; the door is always open.  I will never reject you.  You are missed.  Can we talk?

I hear you.  Your journey has been long and hard.  What you seek for, you have.  If you trust me, I will show you.

Open your eyes to eternity.  I have come to give you life; a life full of adventure and discovery.

Love that is not discovered is unappreciated.

I am in the midst of your search.  I am revealed in the places you least expect.

You turn from the homeless, ignoring love.  You avoid the old, resisting wisdom.

To know the depths of love, you must go deeper than you have ever gone.  You must surrender control.  You must walk in water that is deeper than your height.  You must travel higher than your arms can reach.

Letter 38

My Love,

Don’t try to control love.  Don’t try to control your life, just live.

Love supplies for every moment.  Love moves when you are still.  Let go and let love.

You ask for things, not to know love, but to control your life.  You don’t need things; you need love.

You look for convenience but convenience does not bring strength; it does not reveal the power you possess.

Convenience pacifies your ignorance and keeps you from knowing who you are.  Love supplies clarity of what you possess.

Love does not spoil, it edifies.

Letter 39

My Love,

Life is precious.

To live and never know who you are beyond your personality is a tragedy.

Like a child seeking for his father’s approval, you have come to Me.  You hide your true feelings, giving Me only a façade.  Don’t you know that I love every part of you?  When you live by that façade, you reveal that you don’t trust Me.

You turn to “things” that cover you.  You give your heart to relationships, religion, and addictions that can’t satisfy your need to be loved.

When all has failed, I stand waiting for you to turn back to Me.  No love is lost; it is all waiting on you to turn towards it.

I don’t want a show.  I don’t want to be entertained.  I want you to see you; the beauty of my creation, uncovered, naked and happy.

Hide no more.  Tell the truth and be loved.  There is no struggle in love.

You are powerful; you are more than what you see, you have the ability to change the world.  You can change the way others live, by living as you are.

Choices stand at your feet; make them and prosper.  The answers you are looking for, you already know.

Don’t be afraid to trust your instincts.  Don’t fight against the truth, just accept it and learn from it.

Love is neither right nor wrong; it is neither positive nor negative. It cannot be define as anything but what it is.

Love is love.

Letter 40

My Love,

Life awaits you; all power is in your hands.  You have lived ignorant of this power and now is the time to embrace the truth of what you have.

When you know love, you tap into a world that is greater than what you see.

I am the true reality.

Believe in Love.

Letter 41

My Love,

Follow love, forgive always, and give to those that are in need.

Opportunity is in your hands, what you do with it is your choice.

Can you give to those that are hungry without looking for anything in return?

Will you continue to sow into others even though they don’t say ‘thank you?’

How can you accept who I am, yet reject the opportunity to love others?

I am where you are.  I am in the person whom you lost hope in.

I am in the mistress, who slept with someone’s husband.  I am in the man, who killed someone’s father.  I am in the father, who took someone’s innocence.

You can’t deny your past.  You can’t change how others have treated you but you still can love.

It very well may seem better to die than to forgive the offense of your enemies.  I am not forcing you to forgive, neither am I forcing you to love them.  Just don’t blame Me for the world that you live in.

I have given you all that I am so you can overcome the challenges of life.  I have given you all that you need to be healed and to heal.

It is your choice what you do with it.

Letter 42

My Love,

You can’t handle dirt and expect to be clean.  You can’t carry mess and not be affected by it.  There is no mess that I cannot handle.

What pains me is you won’t even let Me in.  You would rather hold on to your mess, than allow Me to come in and clean.  Without love, you have no means to being clean.

You are a victim of your resistance, creating a world full of secrets.

Putting on clothes cannot hide the dirt that is underneath.  You can appear clean but you know the truth.

Face reality; face the truth.  Don’t resist yourself.

Your desires and dreams are real and they cannot be denied any more.

Letter 43

My Love,

Once there lived a woman with a heavenly voice.  She traveled to distant countries, bringing people from all cultures together through her singing.

Then, one day as she was traveling back home, a man robbed, raped and choked her before leaving her for dead.

Another man saw the woman lying in the street alone, badly beaten, and took her to his home.  He cleaned her wounds, changed her clothes and put her in his bed.

She could not speak from the damage the thief had done to her throat.

She was greatly saddened but the kind man continued to take care of her and comfort her even though he did not know who she was or the gift she possessed.  Daily, the man mended her wounds and she began to heal.

She had hated the thief that hurt her, yet the love of this stranger began to heal her heart.  She began to forgive the thief for what he did because she knew if it never happened, she would have never met this man or seen what he revealed to her: LOVE. This woman was popular, she knew of her gift but she never knew love.

Through the compassion of a stranger, she was healed physically but most important, she was healed spiritually.

Letter 44

My Love,

When you least expect it, love comes.  Love takes your wounds and mends them.  Love values who you are not what you do.

When you have nothing to offer, love gives abundantly.  Love sees your gift but treasures your heart.  To be talented is great but to be loved is better.

I reveal the treasure that dwells in you.  The world tries to make sense of love by promoting doing the “good” thing and working hard.  Those things are great but do not reveal love.

Love is there when you have no reward to earn and no act to be applauded for.

Love is there when your life is flawed, when dysfunction is upon you, even when your anger has caused you to hate life.  Love shines no matter what.

The world does not want to confront the issues that life presents.  It wants to hide from the hurricanes, fires and storms that cause destruction to its comforts.  The truth is, love is greatest in the midst of adversity.  The storm has come not to destroy you but to reveal love in you.

Hidden in plain sight, the avenues that bind you keep the road to happiness a distant dream.

You know nothing of love except what you earned, so you treat others accordingly.  You give due to the honest and just but hate the unjust and liars.

Your ways prevent happiness for you have worked your way into pain.  You are cursed by your ignorance and blinded by your pride.

I have come to give you what you have longed for, what you have wanted from others.

When you have love, nothing else matters, and nothing is greater.

Letter 45

My Love,

You can have what you desire, just seek love first and it is yours without sorrow.

You can give all that you have, when you recognize you have need of nothing else.  You don’t need to chase after anything, the world is yours.  Sit down in green pastures and let the world eat out of your hands.

Until you see the value in what you carry, you will always chase ghosts.  Looking for someone to value what you have, you will keep coming up empty.

The world comes to those that know they are great.

Your gift, your ability is appreciated when you allow others to discover it.  When you force your gifts on others, they don’t appreciate your beauty or value you the same way someone else does who discovers you.

Treasure your gift, have faith in your ability and let the world come to you.  When someone is hungry or thirsty, your gift will be what they want to “feed” on.

Love is not forced.  You can’t be desperate for attention or appreciation.  You don’t need the world; the world needs you.

You draw from the love in your heart and the world draws from the love in your hand.

Don’t chase after love and don’t look for validation from others.  You are love and you don’t have to look for someone to love you, love what is in front of you and the world will come running after you.

Letter 46

My Love,

When you are in love, all is right and nothing is negative.

Thoughts of inadequacy are overcome by the thought of I can.

All sufficiency is in love.

When a child is around a loving parent, they are motivated to be themselves.  They are confident that good is good enough.

When the child sees that whatever they do will make their parent happy, the child becomes confident in the choices they make.

Know your worth; know love.

Letter 47

My Love,

Some believe in their fortunes, thinking their money validates them.  They have no understanding that their fortunes have blinded them from their emptiness.  They believe they walk in light but they are amongst shadows and humility is far from them.  Their emptiness causes them to give with no compassion, to love with conditions and judge with no gentleness.

I stand before them, waiting for them to recognize My presence but they can’t receive Me until they see how empty they are.

When love is given, it also fills the giver.

Although fortunes come to some, never forget that love comes to all.  Love fills what fortunes can only cover.

Decorating a house can bring external beauty but it cannot bring worth to a home.

My words are for you, that you will recognize love when a child speaks, when your pockets are full and your neighbor’s hands are empty, when your spouse is in need of an ear, during the chaos of a busy workday.

I am in the midst of need.

Come and discover a love you don’t have to work for.

Letter 48

My Love,

Many writings have been misunderstood, classifying my love as judgment and shielding access to grace.

There is no condemnation, only love.

To be holy means to be different.  To be perfect means to be complete; don’t live your life under the wrong definition of a word.  To be holy means to be who you are.

You are different.  You are unique, but living under a false view of perfection causes you to hide who you are.

If you are not yourself, you have nothing to offer the world but a cheap imitation of someone else.

Love tears down the ideals that separate you from who you really are.

Inside of you dwells an abundance of wealth, peace and safety.

Your heart is pure and complete.  When your mind looks at your heart, it finds peace and understanding.

An abundant life dwells in you, not in what you see on the outside.

Letter 49

My Love,

Hear my voice; hear your voice.  I speak through you; we are one.

Love is apart of who you are; to be separated from love is to be in hell.

Hell is a place where you have no identity, where your choices are limited and your suffering goes unnoticed.  Hell is where being different is punished and outlawed, where you must conform to survive.

Life has no value in hell and death is cherished.  Hell is a place where you have desire but it is never satisfied.

Many live in hell, ignorantly suffering each day, only to wake up and suffer even more.

Everywhere they turn, the cycle of suffering continues.  In church they suffer, in the streets they suffer, at their jobs and at home they suffer.  They look for a way out but even their best efforts cannot free them from their reality.

Hell is their existence; separated from a love that they can’t find.  Hell burns their eyes, making them wish they never lived.  Nevertheless, the love they look for has always been with them.

Hell is where they exist, but heaven is living inside of them.  Though they conformed, a transforming power remains hidden inside.

When all hell was around them, a calm peace kept them alive.  When the hatred was unbearable, they shut out the external hell and discovered a light; a light that revealed heaven.

It was then that the mind was taken to a place it never knew existed: HEAVEN.

Letter 50

My Love,

Heaven is where dreams come true; where desires are satisfied and choices are limitless.  Heaven reveals who you are and enlightens you to all that you possess.

Your voice speaks and you hear truth; a truth that liberates you to create.

When your mind expresses heaven, you are no longer afraid of hell.  You no longer live in the dark – no secrets or lies – but you prosper in truth. When you’ve been to heaven, living on earth is like an open canvas.  All that you see and hear in heaven, you can create on earth.

The same way you created hell on earth, you can now create heaven on earth.

Love comes through you being. Life is what you make it. Your outlook affects your time on earth.

Your purpose, the reason I sent you to earth, is to reveal love to the world.

When you see the treasure you are, nothing can take away your joy.

The life you live and the people you encounter will be inspired by your energy.  Many feel nothing but emptiness inside, when all they need is a glass of “water” to refresh them.

I give water; I give life to you.

Your life is not about what you will do for Me, but what I have done for you and you enjoying it.

Your works and laws lead you to emptiness.  My grace leads you to abundance.

Your time on earth is twofold: first, you discover heaven then you reveal heaven.  You reveal heaven through your outlook and through living out your heart’s desire.

You draw from what you see and hear in your heart, allowing the world to be changed by love.

Letter 51

My Love,

When you find enlightenment, you do not want to come down from the mountain.

Your life has become light and full of promise but your desire is to stay comfortable at home.  However, you must remember how you felt before you found your home.  You must remember the people that were desperate in the valley.

Home is where your heart is.  If you are in the valley, you are at home.  If you are on the mountaintop, you are at home.

When you fully accept yourself, no matter where you are, nothing can add or take away from your value.  You may be hated by the world but your love overcomes those that encounter you.

You change the world not through war but through love.

Letter 52

My Love,

Lay down your laws and love.

Don’t live with anger and stress; don't worry if your plans do not always go as planned.

Be gracious with everything that comes your way.  Don’t beat yourself up if you are not where you expect to be, the journey is far more important than your results.

To live with the law in your mind is to live with torment.  According to the law, when you do well, you are rewarded.  When you do wrong, you are punished.

You are constantly faced with a fear of not doing well, so you never rest until you have stressed to the point of exhaustion.

When you see law, it is hard to see love.  Love gives without conditions.  Law cannot understand love, for law has no heart.  Its answers are based on what is right and gives no freedom to what is deemed wrong.  Everything is solid and permanent nothing can be changed.

Love is not solid; it is flexible to be whatever is necessary in that moment.  Law keeps records and stores them, never allowing the past to be forgotten.  Law forces you to relive experiences that have no place or benefit in your present.

Love holds no expectation on what you will be, it simply values who you are.

Letter 53

My Love,

A young boy had two older brothers who his father was very proud of; they could do no wrong in his eyes.  When the oldest went off to war and he was killed in battle and the father was devastated.  When his next oldest son was of age, he went to war and he was also killed in battle.

The boy’s father wept to the point of exhaustion.  He could not handle being “alone” without his oldest sons.  He mourned and confessed to all who would listen that he had no sons.

The young boy desperately wanted his father to notice him but his father never did.  When it came time for him to go to battle, the son was alone.  There was no party and no goodbye, yet he walked towards the battle with a smile.  The youngest son went to battle and became a hero.  When the war ended, he came home.  His father was shocked that he survived.

“How did you live and your bigger, stronger brothers died?” asked the father.  The youngest son replied, “Because of you, I traveled far and I endured many long nights in the cold, not knowing if I would see the next day.  You have kept me alive.”

“I am alive for this moment, for you have noticed me and remembered that I am your son.”

When the father saw the tears in his son’s eyes, he saw his self.  The love that he thought was gone when his oldest sons died had not left.  In fact, it was there waiting for him to discover it in the son he had forgotten.

The young man did not hate his father, he loved him so much that he was willing to go to great lengths for him to notice and acknowledge him.  He endured war and suffering for the sake of love.

I give that love to you.  Though you reject, you forgot and ignore, My love for you remains the same towards you.  I go through great lengths for you to notice Me.

Letter 54

My Love,

When a child is frightened by a thunderstorm, the clouds and sounds of the storm unsettle their world and they begin to look for stability.  When they find their mother, they jump into her arms.  In spite of the chaos, the love of the mother soothes the child.  The storm remains but the child is at peace because the presence of love consumes them.

Your life is the same.  You live with a false sense of control and when life happens, it knocks you off balance and causes you to fear your circumstances.

In the midst of your chaos, you find love.  In your desperation, you jump into My arms.  My presence transfers peace to you; a peace that overcomes the world and enables you to live without fear.

No matter how much you deny the storms and the fear it causes you, it does not benefit you to resist it for you are ultimately resisting love.

Love is yours.

The storm has its purpose and it is not to destroy you but to inspire you.  Without rain, your life would be dry and dull.

The storm brings drama, not to scare you but to open your heart.  When you want to hide in the comfort of your home, the storm causes you to open your heart and receive love.

My child, there is no end.  The world as you see it is but a shadow of the world that is.

Eternal life is yours.

The fear of loss torments many but look at your hand and find the design.  When you unlock the code, you will see the world.

Without love, you cannot see the depths of creation.  The dark tunnels of life are filled with my children who have no light in sight.  You are their light.

The beauty of life is revealed to them that seek love, not justice.

My child, love yourself and love others.

In doing those two things, you love Me.

Remember My words. Most importantly, remember I love you.
