If you will lay aside the ego's voice however loudly it may seem to call; if
you will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really want;
if you will listen with an open mind, which has not told you what salvation is;
then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in
stillness, and completely certain in Its messages.
Listen, and hear your Father speak to you through His appointed Voice, Which
silences the thunder of the meaningless, and shows the way to peace to those who
cannot see. Be still today and listen to the truth. Be not deceived by voices of
the dead which tell you they have found the source of life, and offer it to you
for your belief. Attend them not, but listen to the truth.
Be not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the world, walk lightly past
their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not. Be still today and listen to the
truth. Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness
within His hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only Him today,
and do not wait to reach Him longer. Hear one Voice today.
Today the promise of God's Word is kept. Hear and be silent. He would speak to
you. He comes with miracles a thousand times as happy and as wonderful as those
you ever dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They will
not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream instead; and last forever for
they come from God to His dear Son, whose other name is you.
Prepare yourself for miracles today. Today allow your Father's ancient pledge
to you and all your brothers to be kept. Hear Him today, and listen to the Word
which lifts the veil which lies upon the earth, and wakes all those who sleep
and cannot see. God calls to them through you. He needs your voice to speak to
them, for who could reach God?s Son except his Father calling through your
Self?
Hear Him today, and offer Him your voice to speak to all the multitudes who wait
to hear the Word that He will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here,
and will today be given unto you. And you will learn your function from the One
Who chose it in your Father?s Name for you.
Listen today and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the world
through you. The Bringer of all miracles has need that you receive them first,
and thus become the joyous giver of what you received. Thus does salvation start
and thus it ends; when everything is yours, and everything is given away, it
will remain with you forever. And the lesson has been learned.
Today we practice giving, not the way you understand it now, but as it is. The
longer exercises should begin with this request for your enlightenment:
"I will be still and listen to the
truth.
What does it mean to give and to receive?"
Ask and expect an answer. Your request is
one whose answer has been waiting long to be received by you. It will begin the
ministry for which you came, and which will free the world from thinking giving
is a way to lose. And so the world becomes ready to understand and to receive.
Be still and listen to the truth today. For each five minutes spent in listening
a thousand minds are opened to the truth. And they will hear the holy Word you
hear. And when the hour is past, you will again release a thousand more who
pause to ask that truth be given them along with you.
Today the holy Word of God is kept through your receiving it to give away, so
you can teach the world what giving means by listening and learning it of Him.
Do not forget today to reinforce your choice to hear and to receive the Word by
your reminder, given to yourself as often as is possible today:
"Let me be still and listen to the
truth.
I am the messenger of God today,
My voice is His, to give what I receive."
