Be still, my child, and know I am your Life, your Health, your Strength, your Understanding, your Supply, your Power, your Love.
I am all these things-all
these ideals you are seeking to be and to have. Joseph Sieber Benner ~ The
Way to the Kingdom(1932)
My mind holds only
what I think with God.
I thank my Father for His gifts to me.
Let me remember I am one with God.
ACiM - Workbook Lesson 142
When the time comes, as it inevitably will, that you
become dissatisfied in your search among the teachings of the various
religions, philosophies and cults that now are interesting you, and you grow
discouraged at finding yourself no nearer the attainment of the powers and
spiritual growth so authoritatively described and supposedly possessed by the
writers of the books, the teachers of the philosophies and the promulgators of
the religions, then will I show you that while all these books, teachings and
religions were originally inspired by Me, and have done and are still doing
their part in quickening the hearts of many, yet for you it is now meant that
you cease looking to any outer authority, and instead confine your study to My
Book of Life, guided and instructed by Me within, by Me alone. If you earnestly
and truly do this, you will find that I have chosen you to be the High Priest
of a religion, the glory and grandeur of which will be to all others that have
been pictured to your former understanding, as the light of the Sun is to the
twinkle of the far distant star. THE IMPERSONAL LIFE [ 1914 ] by Joseph S(ieber) Benner
You
Are a Gift
Do you notice what happens when you walk into a room?
What becomes present that wasn't there before you walked in? Is it humor, love,
compassion, honesty, adventure, playfulness, wisdom?
.
You matter and who you are being matters. Your unique
combination of values is the gift that you are. Something magical happens when
you embrace your gift. The world appears friendlier and more welcoming. Give
yourself a gift this week by recognizing and affirming to yourself the gift
that you are.
.
My mind holds only
what I think with God.
I will not value
what is valueless.
Let me perceive
forgiveness as it is. ACiM - Workbook Lesson 147
A Prayer
BELOVED Father; Thou, Oh blessed Christ Jesus; and Thou, our dear
Brothers of the Kingdom,- hear this our earnest prayer.
Draw us in Consciousness deep within where Thou art, where self
exists not, and where we may be one with and abide with Thee in Christ.
Help us to open wide our hearts and let out the Great Love, that
It may possess us utterly, may rule, motivate and inspire our every thought,
word and act, merging us completely into Love, thereby enabling us to love as Thou lovest, to see as Thou seest,
to hear as Thou hearest; lifting
the consciousness of our human minds into complete oneness with our Christ Consciousness-Thy
Consciousness; so that henceforth we can consciously, at will, be with Thee,
work with Thee, commune with Thee, face to face, at all times and on all
planes, when the need is in the Father's service; and may know with Thy
Understanding all things we seek and need to know.
Cleanse us of all consciousness of self
and of separation from Thee, so that our Lord Christ henceforth may live His
Life in us, do His Will in us, be His Self in us, without let or hindrance of
any kind, for evermore.
BELOVED Father, make us to abide always
in Thy Consciousness, and Thy Word to abide in us, giving us ever of Thy Wisdom
to light and direct our way; Thy Will to strengthen and sustain us; and Thy
Love to surround) protect and fill us; so that we may see Thee, dear Christ,
may feel Thee, may know Thee, may be
truly One with Thee, everywhere, in everything, and in every one of our
brothers.
We thank and glorify Thee, Beloved
Father, for Thy many blessings. Take us wholly unto Thyself, so that we may be
selfless and perfect instruments for Thy use.
In Christ Jesus’ Name, we ask it. AMEN. The Way to the Kingdom by
Joseph S(ieber) Benner
