The Miracle The God Offer

Bless what comes into your hands. You can change your whole life in a moment if you do this. This is what Jesus called judging with righteous judgment. If you could see the world as it truly is, as the kingdom of God, you would realize that every new experience comes to you for your good, and for no other reason. The way to enter this consciousness of the kingdom of God is to change your thinking to match reality as it is. When you bless something, you accept it as the gift of God, no matter what the seeming source may be. You make it your own gift to the world, by pronouncing it good. You take responsibility for it. In blessing it, you say that this thing is something that you have asked for in some way. This thing is something that will add to the good in your life. This thing is something you can do good with. Brad Jensen 8 By changing your consciousness in this way, you enter into the right relation with God.

You cast aside all confusion and indecision. You make each new event in your consciousness an opportunity for prayer. At the same time, you enter into the right relationship to the gifts of the spirit. You acknowledge that everything in the world is such a gift. You also recognize that nothing in this world is greater than your spiritual identity, your relationship with the Creator that makes you the creator of your world and experience. This prevents anything in your world from becoming an idol or graven image to you. If your health, happiness, wealth, or even scripture or religion becomes God for you, then you have taken the wrong path. By blessing things as they come to you, you keep your eyes on God. In having the audacity to, and claiming the constant permission to bless the world, you affirm and acknowledge your true spiritual identity as the only begotten child of God in The Miracle That I Offer your world. Your world comes to you, through you.

Everything in your world comes in answer to a call from within your spiritual self for growth. There is a meaningful way to use each experience, no matter what it seems like on the surface, to assist your spiritual growth and development. Bless what you give forth into the world. Sometimes it seems as if it is being taken from you against your will. Sometimes you must let go of something you think you desperately need to keep. It may be a thing, a place, a person, or even a belief. When the time comes that it seems these are required from you, do not just surrender them to the world. Give them freely, with whatever joy you can provide them with, but in every case, give them as an active and willing gift to the world. When you give to the world, you are giving to your own tomorrow. If you do not know this, you often give reluctantly, with fear and resentment. What is given that way, returns that way. Do not sow the seeds of Brad Jensen 10 discouragement and further resentment in your world. Give willingly, with no strings attached. You are the child of God. God is the Creator of all that is. As God’s child, become the creator of all that you are, within His love. You do not have to become good first, before you do this. As much as you accept God’s plan for you, you live in the goodness of His love. You do not have to participate in a ritual or a particular group or religion. All of those are things we have invented to help us remember God.

They can be very good things, as long as they lead us to a relationship with God, and remind us to affirm and improve that relationship. Bless them also. What do you think will become of you as you do this? Of course, you yourself will become blessed. Your attention will be raised above fear and lack. You will improve your experience of the world.

You will strengthen all of your spiritual qualities, including love, faith, and confidence. You will strengthen your imagination and will, which are the tools God has given you to direct your creation. The quality and quantity of the things that come into your life will rapidly begin to change. Your mind is a powerful engine of creation. It tends to wander aimlessly, wherever your attention leads it. When you decide to bless everything in your world, that is, everything that enters your consciousness, (and this includes the memories of past experiences that become new again as you consider them) you take control of that engine, you set it on the course of creating blessings for yourself and others. What does it mean to bless what comes into your world? It means to see it clearly and pronounce it as good. You say, “This that I am thinking of, is here in my presence for the good of myself and my world. I will add my own goodness to this and give it forth into the world as an even better thing. I Brad Jensen 12 recognize that my decision to do so is the seed of even greater goodness for my world”. We bless this world into being. As soon as you realize and accept this, and as much as you choose to act on this, you can change everything in your experience, and everything that you are. To you who are trying to reach enlightenment like a jockey trying to win some desperate horse race, I say, it is like a ride along a beautiful riverside with someone you love deeply. It is happening now, not in the past or the future. Open your eyes where you are today, and see it. There is a difference between principle and fine sounding words. I am not satisfied w
