35: HEAVEN DWELLS WITHIN.
Later, as Grandma and Grandpa tuck Jacob and Amanda into bed, Amanda asks one last question: “Grandma, where is heaven?”
And as they drift off to sleep with smiles on their faces, they remember Grandma’s sweet words:
“God is in heaven, but heaven is not outside of you.
Heaven is right here, inside your own heart!”

Know that each challenge met in the lightness of spirit, with an attitude of faith, hope, and joy, will be a steppingstone upon the path to heaven. And remember that heaven dwells within. There is nowhere to go to find the peace, the joy, the Love that you are looking for. There is nowhere to go but within. There is no one who holds the answers for self outside of self.
There are loving guides and helpers throughout your journey who can remind you of the truth which is within. And their guidance is a blessing. We encourage you to ask for help when it is needed. And yet, always remember that the truth, your truth, your sacred truth lies within.
This is a time of great hope. Hope springs eternal. Let that hope fill your hearts, shine through your eyes, spill forth from your hearts, and attract those who are looking for hope, who want to hope but don’t dare.
Hope is an aspect of the Grace and the Love of God. And God is eternal. Grace is that gift from God, that blessing from God which is Love – no judgement, no punishment, just the gift of pure Love from the Creator. When one opens the heart to connect with All That Is, the Grace of God flows unimpeded. The Grace of God allows the Love within each and every heart to flow uninterrupted.
