You are entitled to miracles because of what you are. You will receive miracles
because of what God is. And you will offer miracles because you are one with
God. Again, how simple is salvation! It is merely a statement of your true
identity. It is this that we will celebrate today.
Your claim to miracles does not lie in your illusions about yourself. It does
not depend on any magical powers you have ascribed to yourself, nor on any of
the rituals you have devised. It is inherent in the truth of what you are. It is
implicit in what God your Father is. It was ensured in your creation, and
guaranteed by the laws of God.
Today we will claim the miracles which are your right, since they belong to you.
You have been promised full release from the world you made. You have been
assured that the Kingdom of God is within you, and can never be lost. We ask no
more than what belongs to us in truth. Today, however, we will also make sure
that we will not content ourselves with less.
Begin the longer practice period by telling yourself quite confidently that you
are entitled to miracles. Closing your eyes, remind yourself that you are asking
only for what is rightfully yours. Remind yourself also that miracles are never
taken from one and given to another, and that in asking for your rights you are
upholding the rights of everyone. Miracles do not obey the laws of this world.
They merely follow from the laws of God.
After this brief introductory phase, wait quietly for the assurance that your
request is granted. You have asked for the salvation of the world and for your
own. You have requested that you be given the means by which this is
accomplished. You cannot fail to be assured in this. You are but asking that the
Will of God be done. In doing this, you do not really ask for anything. You
state a fact that cannot be denied.
The Holy Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted. The fact
that you accepted must be so. There is no room for doubt and uncertainty today.
We are asking a real question at last. The answer is a simple statement of a
simple fact. You will receive the assurance that you seek.
Our shorter practice periods will be frequent, and will also be devoted to a
reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself often today:
"I am entitled to miracles."
Ask for them whenever a situation arises in
which they are called for. You will recognize these situations; you are not
relying on yourself to find them, you are therefore fully entitled to receive it
whenever you ask.
Remember, too, not to be satisfied with less than the perfect answer. Be quick
to tell yourself, should you be tempted:
"I will not trade miracles for
grievances.
I want only what belongs to me.
God has established miracles as my right."
