God Said:

Beloved, in life in the world, instead of your hand touching on love above, your hand may touch on brambles. You do not quite get the point of it - life, that is. You protest toil and trouble and that bug-a-boo called death. You would rule out a lot. You might choose only that which your eye falls on to appear or to disappear according to how you feel about it.

You believe it would mean a lot to you to call the shots in life. Beloved, how short-ranged your constructed logic may be. Life cannot be reduced to logic. There is greater than what you conceive of in your life because there are too many pieces of the puzzle for you to address.

Beloveds, here's the deal: Life isn't a thought-process. If you alone were the Creator of life, you might have missed out on the moon or, perish the thought, the stars or on any number of things. Second-guessing doesn't have to be your style. You have a long list regarding Creation that you would change on a dime if you could.

It is safe to say that when you redecorate your living room in your apartment, despite all the many considerations you take into account, you might overlook this or that. If you could do your renovations all over again, you still you might never get everything right.

Dear One, indecisiveness doesn't apply to Me. Remember, after I created the world, I looked, and I saw it was good. I looked at you as well, and I saw that you are good. I never changed My mind, for I come from My Heart and Vision.

However, no matter how you see it, I am a whole lot easier to please than you are! You can find fault without trying. It's a snap for you to pick out something to dishearten you - you, who ask for mercy. Will you kindly cut Me a little slack?!

I have heard almost everything from you. You may criticize the height I give you, the shape of your face, your nose. Actually, what is there you don't criticize? You criticize the state of the world and politics and even the weather.

Beloveds, you may see life as made of sequences of events and one thing leading to another in an ungainly way. You might put in for a new menu if you could. There almost isn't anything you wouldn't change if the planets were right.

You may make a whole hullabaloo about something that you worry about ahead of time. You may theorize and take on something that isn't relevant now.

Goodness knows, I've heard plenty of palaver about karma, for instance. To you, clearly, karma doesn't come from a benevolent God. You may see karma as retribution. You want Me to make up My mind. Am I a God of love or not? Or, am I really more like you, Heaven help us, unable to shake off the past and let go of holding grudges tight, as if I require a duel with you in order to gain satisfaction?

Let Me give you some sage advice. Even as karma may seem unworthy of a God of love, even as you may see karma as bullying most unfair, why are you harping on it?

If karma is or is not, you don't have to keep it on your mind. Dear One, you don't have think about it. Let go of it and move on with life. Take a vacation from unrest about karma or anything else worrisome you might carry around with you. You are all taken care of, and all is well. You don't know everything, Beloveds. Know I am not out to get you caught up in any difficulty. Look at life differently, if you please.
