Lessons from Heaven

God is Light

In Genesis, the first statement from God for the creation of the universe was, “Let there be light!” Within the Bible, God often refers to Himself as Light. When Jesus came to His followers, He describes Himself as light saying, “I am the light of the world.” Jesus explains also that you are that same light and to then let your light shine before others. The light within you consists of the love, goodness, kindness, and compassion that lives inside of you through your soul that God gave you.

God is Love

Love is the primary image of God and you are made in that same image. The book of John, it says, “God is love.” One of my favorite verses found in John is also, “Whoever lives in love lives in God and God in Him.” Love and God are interchangeable because God is love. Whenever you are loving and kind towards others, you are expressing God within you, or as it says in scripture, “In him we live and move and have our being.” This is the core of who you are as God’s child. When you love, your love goes up to Heaven and worships God. You are simply here on Earth to love others. When you love yourself and when you love others, you are loving God.

God is Forgiveness

God does not merely have forgiveness for you, God is forgiveness for you. The forgiveness of God is always there, waiting for you to accept it. God is forgiveness for you because forgiveness is one of the primary components or aspects of love. Since God’s love has always been there, God’s forgiveness has always been there, too (past, present, and future). When you believe in God or Jesus from within your heart, you accept God’s forgiveness as well. You do not need to live in an state constantly asking God to forgive you, but to live in the freedom and joy of knowing that God has already forgiven you.

God is Feeling

On the other side, everything is communicated through pure feeling or intuition within a second. In Heaven, you know things instantly because you feel things instantly. God is pure love and pure feeling. God communicates with feeling because your heart is the source of your feelings, your compassion, or your empathy and God lives within every heart. Without your ability to feel, you would have no compassion or empathy, and very little ability to love and care for others. When you think of someone, you primarily remember how they made you feel. This is why Heaven is so amazing because you feel the overwhelming feeling of God’s love for you.

God is Good

God is everything good that you experience in life. Whatever good things you have on Earth: the sun shining, the grass, the birds, the love we share, etc. God is the source of all of those good things. What is not God is the lack or the absence of love. When you experience an absence of love from someone or abuse, that’s never coming from God because it’s not love. God’s will and purpose is always for you to love and experience love. On Earth, we will still suffer with difficult experiences, but God works them all into an ultimate pattern for good.

God is Holy

God is Holy because God is Pure Love. God’s purity of love is what creates God’s Holiness. To be Holy is to be free or pure from whatever is unloving or unkind. There is no darkness (lack of love) within God. In other words, there is nothing about God that wants to cause you or others any kind of harm and it is God’s wish that we do the same. God is pure love, peace, joy, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, beauty, and truth. God is so amazing or Holy because of how pure God’s love is. The angels in Heaven worship God because they are in awe of God’s Holiness or Purity of Love.

God is Male and Female

In the book of Genesis, where the Elohim or God, Holy Spirit, and Jesus come together to say, “Let us make man in our image” and then it says God created us “male and female” in His image, or, as it says in scripture, “In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” If God created you male and female in His Image, then part of God’s image is both at the same time. This is how creation came about, through God’s male and female image, or Mother-Fatherness. All of humanity is a reflection of this part of God’s image. This is how scripture can say there is no longer any male and female (because you are all one in God’s primary image of love through Christ) and yet, you are all male and female, at the same time.

God Isn’t Judging You

God and the angels are not judging you. They are completely benevolent and, as such, cannot judge. God and the angels know everything about you, and because God is all-knowing, God is all-compassionate, and all-understanding God and the angels wouldn’t think of looking down on you for anything. Humans are the ones who judge, but God doesn’t judge you, and you become more in God’s image when you choose to not look down on yourself or others as well.
