Day 125: In quiet I receive God's Word today.

In quiet I receive God's Word today.

The workbook of A Course in Miracles instructs us to take 10 minutes at three different intervals throughout the day to listen to our Creator.

Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening.  Your Father wills you hear His Word today.  He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides.  Hear Him today.  No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message that the world must hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.

During the course of my meditations today, these were the words I heard:

You have been anointed a Holy Child of God, and you will change the world in a profound way.

Go where the path of your bliss will take you, and others will follow.  They will come to you as if drawn in by a magnet.  Do not expend excess energy in place of keeping your quiet reserve.

When you feel hurt or angry, guilty or fearful, sad or lonely or shameful, acknowledge it.  Call it by name and surrender it to Me.  I will dispel the darkness with My Light.

If you want to be rich, feel the richness within you.  If you want love, feel the capacity to love within yourself.  The outside world will reflect that which you are inside.  Your mind is far more powerful than your body, and your mind joined with others will together shape the world around you.

These words, of course, apply to every single one of us.  We are all Children of God, and we each have an essential role to play in the salvation of our world.  We must remember to always follow our bliss, for what is in Joy is aligned with God.  Let us stay rooted to that happy path, and not meander about.  We need not try too hard to bring others into our joy, for the fact that we are joyful will magnetize the rest to follow. During the moments we feel anything less than happy, let us recognize it and surrender it over to God.  To be outwardly wealthy, know inside that we are already wealthy.  The same goes for love, for success, for anything we want to manifest in our lives.  It begins with our thoughts, our sense of being within.  Mind over matter.  Our minds will create what we see and experience around ourselves.

So that was the Word of God as I received it today.  Try this for yourself.  Find a time where you can sit quietly for just a few minutes.  Be still and simply listen.  Let all distracting thoughts pass through your mind without letting your awareness quaver.  You will hear God speak through you, in one way or another.  Just be open and willing to listen patiently.  Your willingness is everything, and it will not go unrecognized.

Let the words you hear uplift you on this day, and let them fill you with an unwavering joy to walk in greater confidence tomorrow and all the days to come.

Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
