Claim possibility

For all those who find themselvesw in a trying, sad, complex or just plain blah place in their lives right now, Marianne Williamson's words:

One of the problems that many of us have is that we want something to happen, but we don't really harness the power of our desire. We want something to happen, but we don't claim the possibility that it will.

A COURSE IN MIRACLES says that we achieve so little because we have undisciplined minds. We don't focus our thoughts, intentions and energies the way we could. And so every day, possibilities we would love to experience remain unmanifest. Today we will begin to change that.

Pick a possibility, something that might even be a wild unspoken dream. Inside each of us, I think, are wishes and dreams we haven't necessarily shared with anyone, but still cherish. And all I'm asking you to do is to allow the dream a little space to breathe. Give yourself permission to have it. Ask what it means, and surrender it to God.

Now know this: if that dream would further your good somehow, then it already exists fully formed in the mind of God. From there, it can be downloaded into your physical experience if it is the will of God. Just know that. Would you be blessed if it occurred? Would you serve the world at a higher level?

Ask God those questions, and then claim the possibility. As is often said, "this or something better."And do not dream small. In A Course in Miracles, it is said that we don't ask God for too much but for too little.

This week, ASK FOR WHAT YOU REALLY WANT. And then release it. Let God take it from here.

I claim the possibility of a greater life, for myself and those around me. May God's glory express itself, in my life and in the world.

Amen.
