Day 256

Today's Lesson:

God is the only goal I have today.

The way to God is through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to find the way to where you are? Who would still be uncertain? Who could be unsure of who he is? And who would yet remain asleep, in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last.

And so, our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice, and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us.

Miracles I'm noticing:

I am teaching this week in another town in Minnesota and what I'm noticing most this week is how much the members of the class reflect my attitude as the instructor. If I go in to class at all distracted, I lose the focus of the class. But when I'm directed and ready to share great information, the class takes it in much better. It's obvious to me because I'm conducting two different groups - one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It's the exact same content, but the two groups are completely different in their demeanor. Instead of getting frustrated about the lack of structure I'm finding in the first group (they are much more independent and I find them chatting amongst themselves a lot more than the afternoon group), I have stopped to see what my energy is in that first session compared to the second.

Today I'm going back with today's message in mind and I'll see how I can alter the group's attention with only my intention and my energy.

I'll let you know how it goes.

God is the only goal I have today.
