Why Aren’t You Happy?
Heavenletter #5011 Published on: August 14, 2014
God said:
You could be asking yourself:
“Why am I not happy? I have a lot to be happy for, yet I am not happy. What prevents me from being happy? It has to be that I believe in lack. I must have set it up this way so long ago. Since I do not have everything I want, I am not happy. I have decided I am not happy. So long as I lack, I must think I cannot be happy. When I have gain, it may not stay, so even with gain, I have worry. It is like I have chosen a certain umbrella. It has holes in it. I do not know how to keep the rain of unhappiness off me.”
Beloveds, you might as well get rid of that umbrella altogether. There is nothing but life. To your mind, life is meant to fulfill your desires. Perhaps you look for proof that I love you, and you keep setting higher and higher standards and now requiring more. Perhaps you feel that unless you have everything, you have nothing. And there is always more you desire. In this case, desire gratitude.
I’m for your desiring, and I suggest that you dream Big. There is a difference between desire and expectation. If you feel thrown out of Heaven because all your desires are not fulfilled, you work against yourself.
You want to come to the place where desire of itself is a boon to you. To have a desire is fulfilling of itself. Your desires do not have to be fulfilled on the outside. Let the joy be in the desire.
Go ahead and desire wealth, and know the wealth you do have. No longer mourn for what you do not have. Who knows if you really want it anyway? Desire is sometimes coveting. There is something to be said for being satisfied as well as desirous. How much beauty is enough? How much wealth is enough? Everything in the relative world is relative.
Do not rate yourself on a scale, or you may condemn yourself to dissatisfaction.
Rich or poor, you can be happy. Have a happiness quotient that is easy-going. Make a decision for happiness. Decide to feel My love regardless of circumstance. No longer buy into your impression of circumstance. You have been hard to please, perhaps impossible.
Think more about pleasing Me. Perhaps not ask so much: “Does this please me?”
Perhaps ask yourself: “Does this make God happy?”
Of course, I am Happiness Personified. Truly, you won’t see Me frowning. What can interfere with My Love? My Love is My Happiness. I lack nothing. I am rife with love. What more do I want than the love that I have to give? What else is there?
At the same time, I am ambitious. I am ambitious for the world. I see love dancing a new tune. I foresee love from all to all. I see no lack of love. I see no valleys. I see love at a new height. I see love encompassing everything. Love will do the trick every time. Of course, love is not a trick. Illusion of lack of love is a trick.
On Earth, love has not yet fully come out of hiding. Love is shy at present. It is held secret for no good reason or another. Fear of lack of return, most probably.
And that’s where We started this discussion, your fear of lack even when your state is abundance. Do not refuse the bounties of life, nor accept the boundaries.
One of the first bounties is your smile, and then your laugh, and then your joy, and then your love! Give away all your love, and your love will automatically refill itself. Give your love to yourself as well. If you hoard your love or save it for a rainy day, then, your love will dry out. Unused love does not put roses in your cheeks. Unused love is not love. Yes, you can love from a distance, yet, for sure, all love is not to be kept at a distance. Accept every opportunity for love at every position of the sun. Sure, love afar, but there’s love near to give as well.
