Embracing the Joy of Giving to the Divine: A Reflection on “Give to the Giver”

In the beautiful Heavenletter titled “Give to the Giver,” we are invited to contemplate the profound connection between our souls and the divine. The letter, a heartfelt dialogue between God and the human heart, reminds us that our essence is whole and inseparable from the holiness of God. This sacred oneness is often obscured by our fragmented perception, fueled by fears and doubts. However, the message is clear: we are not broken or disjointed; we are unified, whole beings, intimately connected to the divine.

The letter gently rebukes our tendency to become complacent in our relationship with God. We sometimes think that having a sense of God’s presence is enough, that we’ve reached a state of fulfillment where no further action is needed. Yet, the divine whispers that perhaps there’s more to our existence than merely receiving. “I give you everything, and, yes, you are supposed to receive. But We are exchange. It is not one-way.” This reciprocal relationship is not about obligation but about the joy of giving back to the Giver.

The act of giving to God is not about providing something the divine lacks; it’s about our need to reciprocate the love and life we’ve received. It’s an expression of our deep connection, a desire to nourish the divine as we’ve been nourished. This mutual exchange is the essence of our relationship with God, a dance of giving and receiving that enriches our souls.

The prayer that follows in the Heavenletter beautifully encapsulates this sentiment. It speaks of the longing to serve, to give something back to the Creator, not out of duty but out of love and a deep-seated need to connect. The act of giving is not just about the act itself but about the relationship it fosters. It’s a declaration that we are not passive recipients but active participants in our spiritual journey.

The imagery of a baby offering Zwieback (a type of cracker) to God is a touching metaphor for the simplicity and sincerity of giving. Even in our innocence and simplicity, we find joy in sharing what little we have. This act is not just about the gift; it’s about the connection it represents.

The Heavenletter reminds us that our offering to God is more than gratitude; it’s a mutual undertaking, a partnership in the restoration of our souls. By giving back to God, we are not adding to the divine but enriching our own lives. It’s a reminder that our lives are a gift, and our response to this gift is to return it in the form of love, service, and devotion.

As we reflect on “Give to the Giver,” we are invited to explore our own path to God’s door, to discover how we can give something back to the divine. Whether it’s through prayer, service, or simply a heartfelt gesture, the act of giving is a powerful expression of our love and connection. In embracing this mutual exchange, we deepen our understanding of ourselves and our relationship with the divine, finding joy and fulfillment in the act of giving to the Giver.

God said:

The holiness of God is the wholeness of you.

You are not in pieces. You are whole. Your vision is blotchy, so you think you are pieces, misplaced pieces at that. You think there are holes in you, but there is holiness. It is My holiness that put you together, and keeps you together. You are the togetherness of My heart. You are not scattered pieces. You are one wholeness.

You are one unified whole.

Nothing is separate from you. Nor are you separated from yourself but in your imagination.

Look, your fears are imagined, and then you make them come true.

Make your aspirations come true. Make Mine. Make My desires fulfilled.

You sometimes think, “All is well now. I have sense of God’s presence so I am okay. I am fulfilled. I don’t need to do anything more. I have God so I don’t need God.”

But perhaps I need you. Perhaps there is something you can do for Me. Do not stop short. Do not be satisfied with the hem of My gown when you can have My eyes and My heart. You are here on earth for Me. I am here for you, but that is My purpose, not yours. Your purpose is to be for Me.

I give you everything, and, yes, you are supposed to receive. But We are exchange. It is not one-way. That does not mean you owe. It means you want to give. You want to give to Me.

Accept My presence. Assume it as yours. It is yours. But think of Me as much as you think of yourself. Perhaps you can think of Me more. I am your Companion. Perhaps you can be Mine also. Perhaps you can kiss My heart with your joy. Perhaps you can take off your hat to Me. Perhaps you can say:

“Dear God, let me serve You for a little while. Let me give You something. You gave me life and love and the seeking of You. Now that I have found You, I am still not complete. My heart wants to give something to You in return. I do not know what I have to give You. I do not know that I am worthy to give You, but give You, I must.

“It is like I hear You talking to me. It is not altogether enough for me to hear. I must also answer You. You want my answer. You want my speaking to You. It is not accolades You ask for. It is my connection to You that You ask for.

“My connecting to You, dear God, is not a passive thing. I am not just a baby who receives and gurgles. Even a baby wants to share his Zwieback. He hands it to You. It is his pleasure to hand it to You. He keeps it as he gives it. His offering is the gift. There is such power in giving.

“And You want me to have that pleasure as well as all others. It is not enough for me to take. I must return to You. Be it a grubby pencil or dandelion blown to You, I must make offering to You.

“My offering is more than thanks. Thanks are not needed. What is it then? It is part of Our contract. I have a part to play for You as well. And that is my gift to You, My Heavenly Father Who restoreth my soul. Yes, restoration of my soul is a mutual undertaking. My life is Your gift to me. My soul’s flying to You is my return. I wish to nourish You as well. You do not need the nourishment I give to You. It is my need to give it.

“Show me my way, dear God. Show me my path to Your door so that I may give something to You.”
