Recognizing What We Really Want

²[Heaven] is yours today, but for the asking.

Ask with desire. ²You need not be sure that you request the only thing you want. ³But when you have received, you will be sure you have the treasure you have always sought.

Now is all doubting past, the journey’s end made certain, and salvation given you. ²Now is Christ’s power in your mind, to heal as you were healed. ³For now you are among the saviors of the world. ⁴Your destiny lies there and nowhere else. ⁵Would God consent to let His Son remain forever starved by his denial of the nourishment he needs to live? ⁶Abundance dwells in him, and deprivation cannot cut him off from God’s sustaining Love and from his home. (W-165.4:2;5:1-3;6)

Heaven is our Home, for God wills It so. But we have denied Heaven by our preference for specialness. When we ask for Heaven, we are neutralizing the preference for specialness so we can let Heaven be What It has always been—Home.

Because we have denied Heaven, we need a miracle, a change of mind. It is a change in what we treasure. We recognize that all we really want is God’s Love. Now our minds are open to accept What has always been ours. As we accept His Love, It flows through us to bring Love’s blessing to the world. We become a miracle worker. As we let His Love flow through us, we experience Its blessing. We feel more peaceful, happy and content. We are fulfilling our only meaningful function in this world.
