Today, Saturday, April 9, is the twenty-eighth day of Lent. Lent is the period of time during which we can prepare ourselves for the Easter experience.
 

Assignment 28
 
Man was created for fulfillment and for glory. The prophecies are full of the glory of man, and man spends his life trying to reach this glory and acclaim in the outer world. Many receive praise, honor and the highest distinction but it does not always carry with it the exalted happiness that is expected. We receive the honor, the applause, the crowd departs and unless this glory is “from glory to glory,” unless it is more moved from within that from without, there is no satisfaction and one is restless and unfulfilled.
 
All true glory must be accompanied with “wonder.” Wonder is surprise and astonishment and almost awe of this tremendous power within us that draws us up to companionship with those who can share with others the wonder of themselves.
 
We are treading in the magic field of miracles when we let things happen to us unannounced and unplanned. A miracle is not an infringement or violation of natural law but an event or effect in our lives and world, transcending our knowledge and expectancy. A miracle is that which is natural and true for us, that which comes to us easily and freely when we cease to “try to cause” our life and world. A miracle transcends what the human mind concedes as plausible or reasonable.
 
The lack of miracles in the world today is because man has put a “ceiling” on his life. He has a cut and dried pattern in his mind of what can happen to him and what cannot; thus he is not able to receive the miracle even if it happens before his very eyes. He will not let a miracle happen to him though his heart cries out for it. He has set up his life without the knowledge that the work that is done in him is the work of a greater power. We are half believers, believing only in ourselves.
 
We cannot have a partial God, and this is why our lives are not fulfilling. If we are to have a miracle then we must know that all power in and through us is the One Power. We must relax our “policing” of life and open the door of our mind and heart to what God would do through us if we would just let Him.
 
If we let down the bars of fear, and what people think, and many old fears and beliefs that are outmoded and antiquated, we would find a rush of God-ideas filling our lives with love and joy and we would be blessed and be a blessing.
