I am entitled to miracles.
1. You are entitled to miracles because of what you are.
* I would say that ‘who’ could be interchanged with ‘what’ in this statement.
²You will receive miracles because of what God is.
* God has to be in the ‘picture’ for A Course in Miracles to make any sense.
³And you will offer miracles because you are one with God.
* Remembering that God Lives and that you are a part of His Son, along with all of Creation, forgiven for the belief in separation from God makes you a conductor of miracles. Cool, huh!!!
⁴Again, how simple is salvation!
⁵It is merely a statement of your true Identity.
⁶It is this that we will celebrate today.
2. Your claim to miracles does not lie in your illusions about yourself.
²It does not depend on any magical powers you have ascribed to yourself, nor on any of the rituals you have devised.
³It is inherent in the truth of what you are.
⁴It is implicit in what God your Father is.
⁵It was ensured in your creation, and guaranteed by the laws of God.
* It seems kind of clear to me.
3. Today we will claim the miracles which are your right, since they belong to you.
²You have been promised full release from the world you made.
³You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is within you, and can never be lost.
⁴We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth.
⁵Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not content ourselves with less.
4. Begin the longer practice periods by telling yourself quite confidently that you are entitled to miracles.
²Closing your eyes, remind yourself that you are asking only for what is rightfully yours.
³Remind 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.
⁴Miracles do not obey the laws of this world.
⁵They merely follow from the laws of God.
5. After this brief introductory phase, wait quietly for the assurance that your request is granted.
²You have asked for the salvation of the world, and for your own.
³You have requested that you be given the means by which this is accomplished.
⁴You cannot fail to be assured in this.
⁵You are but asking that the Will of God be done.
6. In doing this, you do not really ask for anything.
²You state a fact that cannot be denied.
³The Holy Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted.
⁴The fact that you accepted must be so.
⁵There is no room for doubt and uncertainty today.
⁶We are asking a real question at last.
⁷The answer is a simple statement of a simple fact.
⁸You will receive the assurance that you seek.
7. Our shorter practice periods will be frequent, and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact.
²Tell yourself often today:
³I am entitled to miracles.
⁴Ask for them whenever a situation arises in which they are called for.
⁵You will recognize these situations.
⁶And since you are not relying on yourself to find the miracle, you are fully entitled to receive it whenever you ask.
8. Remember, too, not to be satisfied with less than the perfect answer.
²Be quick to tell yourself, should you be tempted:
³I will not trade miracles for grievances.
⁴I want only what belongs to me.
⁵God has established miracles as my right.
* And just because sometimes those miracles come through another human being does not mean that I owe the person any great allegiance or anything at all but a thank you. All gifts come from God. That does not mean that I am ungrateful or rude to others but that I do not “sell my birthright” to the miracles of God by thinking that they actually come from any mortal. Think about that one for a minute. I testify of its truth. You must find it within yourself by means of the Holy Spirit.
(ACIM, W-77.1:1–8:5)
Till next time, God bless, debi.
