God said:

 

Who can make your heart feel uneasy but you? You are the decider of your heart. Yes, you may think you have no choice. You think your heart rises and falls depending upon what happens around you or seemingly to you. You feel that your heart is a temperature gauge, as if your heart can only read what it’s given to read.

 

You are the interpreter of events surrounding you. You have been telling your heart when to fall and when to rise. You. You take everything to heart. You take everything that comes in on you to your heart, and you leave it there. You tell your heart to respond favorably or in a downfallen matter. You order your heart around. You tend to respond in a predicted way.

 

In the days when someone came to your door with a telegram -- you hadn’t even opened it yet -- your heart would be trembling with fear that you are receiving bad news. And so you cry before you are hit. You set yourself up. You set the gears. You open the hatch.

 

Of course, it could be bad news you are receiving, for you think in terms of good news or bad news.

 

Dear Ones, you often set yourself up for a fall. You are inclined to think you are receiving bad news. You may hesitate to open your telegram, yet, even in your distress, you will open it. You won’t tear it up without reading it. There is a shard of possibility that it is good news  -- you are winning a big lottery or your husband is returning home from war tomorrow. There is an inkling of good news, and you will not leave the telegram unopened.

 

Yes, of course, the odds are that a rare telegram is not good news. However, woe to you who places your bets on life according to the odds. You may think that is playing it safe, yet you are predicting something to hang over your head. Can you imagine playing cards and affirming the odds that you will not win? You don’t have to play cards, mind you. You can skip that. No problem. Yet life you must live. One way or another, you must live it. In that case, play your cards right. Choose a good hand.

 

Of course, you tend to defend discernment. In that case, then discern what is helpful to you and what is not. Play the odds of helpful rather than the odds of negativity. Brew the tea of good fortune.

 

When you feel pursued by trouble and are in an unhappy state, when you feel you are in a pit of despair, even then, get yourself out of the pit. Climb out. You don’t have to stay there. You do not belong there. Give your heart every opportunity to reclaim itself. Even when your heart has been run over, you don’t have to leave it there. Give it a helping hand. Give it CPR. You are responsible for your heart. Feed it. No starving it. Give it a boost. It is indeed a sad state of affairs when you let your heart stay down on the count of ten.

 

When your thoughts harass your heart, change your thoughts. If you have been thinking of all the things that are wrong with your life, your heart aches. Then, open your eyes to what is likeable in your life and remind your heart of what it likes and all that which sustains it. You talked your heart into defeat. Rather, you thought your heart into defeat. Now think thoughts that build up your heart. Have mercy on it. Be the uplifter of your heart. Your heart is dependent on you. It is not for you to be laissez-faire with your heart.
