My thoughts* on A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 89, I Am Entitled to *the Miracle of Seeing God’s Hand in My Life

These are our review ideas for today:

1. (77) I am entitled to miracles.

* I am entitled (allowed) to see God’s Hand in my life.

²I am entitled to miracles because I am under no laws but God’s.

* The “law” is more of a claim to your own existence and it is to acknowledge HYMN. After that we are Guided by SPIRIT which is HYMN and the Son United.

³His laws release me from all grievances, and replace them with miracles.

⁴And I would accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond.

⁵Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have, that I may use it on behalf of the function He has given me.

2. You might use these suggestions for specific applications of this idea:

²Behind this is a miracle to which I am entitled.

³Let me not hold a grievance against you, [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you instead.

* I keep little nick nacks about my apartment to remind me of people and I send prayers of blessings and comfort to them, especially if we have had “issues.”

⁴Seen truly, this offers me a miracle.

3. (78) Let miracles replace all grievances.

²By this idea do I unite my will with the Holy Spirit’s, and perceive them as one.

* Right. This is really a convoluted way to get to a very simple reality that GOD IS but such is the confusing effect of the ego.

³By this idea do I accept my release from hell.

⁴By this idea do I express my willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with truth, according to God’s plan for my salvation.

⁵I would make no exceptions and no substitutes.

* THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND DECLARES THAT IT MUST BE ALL OR NOTHING.

⁶I want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as God wills me to have.

4. Useful specific forms for applying this idea would be:

²I would not hold this grievance apart from my salvation.

³Let our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name].

⁴Beyond this is the miracle by which all my grievances are replaced.
