Welcome to Active Meditation in Miracles.
Lesson 159.
I give the miracles I have received.
No one can give what they have not received.
To give something requires first you have it in your own.
Here and the laws of the world agree,
But here they also separate.
The world believes that to possess a thing it must be kept.
Salvation teaches otherwise.
Salvation teaches that to give is how to recognize you have received.
It is the proof that what you have is yours.
You understand that you are healed.
You give healing.
You accept forgiveness as accomplished yourself.
You recognize your brother or sister as yourself,
And thus do you perceive that you are whole.
There is no miracle you cannot give.
All miracles are given you.
Receive them.
Open the storehouse of your miracles.
Parlay it and give all the miracles away.
Christ's vision is a miracle.
It comes from far beyond itself.
For this vision reflects eternal love and the rebirth of love,
Which never dies,
But has been kept obscure.
Christ's vision pictures heaven,
For it sees a world so like to heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored there.
The darkened glass can only show twisted images in broken parts.
The real world pictures heaven's innocence.
Christ's vision is the miracle in which all miracles are born.
It is the source of miracle remaining with each miracle you give,
And yet still remaining your miracle.
Christ's vision is the bond by which the giver and receiver are united in extension as they are one in heaven.
Christ beholds no sin in anyone,
And in his sight the sinless are as one.
Their holiness was given by his Father and himself.
Christ's vision is the bridge between the worlds.
You can safely trust the power of this vision to carry you from this world into a world made holy of forgiveness.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
I give the miracles I have received.
I give the miracles I have received.
Things which seem quite solid here are merely shadows there,
Transparent,
Faintly seen,
At times forgot,
Never able to obscure the light that shines beyond them.
Holiness has been restored to vision and see.
This is the Holy Spirit's single gift,
The treasure house to which you can appeal with perfect certainty,
Perfect certainty for all the things that can contribute to your happiness.
All these things are laid here already.
All can be received but for the asking.
Here the door is never locked.
Here no one is denied their least request or most urgent need.
There is no sickness not already healed.
There is no lack unsatisfied.
There is no need unmet within this golden treasury of Christ.
Here does the world remember what was lost is made.
Here the world is repaid,
Made new again,
But in a different light.
What was to be the home of sin becomes the center of redemption,
A hearth of mercy where the suffering are healed and welcomed.
No one will be turned away from this new home where their salvation waits.
No one is a stranger here.
No one asks for anything except the gift of being accepted and welcomed.
Christ's vision is the holy ground in which the lilies of forgiveness set their roots.
This is their home.
They can be brought from here back to the world,
But they can never grow in its unnourishing and shallow soil.
They need the light and warmth and kindly care,
Christ's charity.
They need the love with which Christ looks on them,
And they become his messengers who give as they receive.
Take from his storehouse that its treasures may increase.
His lilies do not leave their home when they are carried back into the world.
Roots remain.
These lilies do not leave their source,
But carry its beneficence with them.
They turn the world into a garden like the one they came from,
And to which they go again with added fragrance.
Now they are twice blessed.
The messages they brought from Christ have been delivered and then returned to them,
And then they return them gladly unto Christ.
To yourself,
I give the miracles I have received.
Ponder on them.
I give the miracles I have received.
Behold the store of miracles set out for you to give.
Are you not worth the gift when God appointed it?
Be given you.
Judge not God's Son.
Follow in the way he has established.
Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world.
It is his gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from death to life,
From hopelessness to hope.
Let us for an instant dream with him.
His dream awakens us to truth.
His vision gives us the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God.
Now spend a few moments reflecting on this lesson.
I give the miracles I have received.
I give the miracles I have received.
I give the miracles I have received.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
