THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

Glenn Clark on the third day of the Lord’s Prayer looks at God’s will being done in earth as it is in heaven.  When Jesus uses the word “earth”, it is not limited to this planet we live on, but is really referring to manifestation or expression as the result of a cause.  A cause or thought has to be expressed or manifested before we can know anything about it and on the flip side, every expression or manifestation has to have a cause.  Causation is a mental act and everything that we experience is but a manifestation of our own mental states.  Earth means the whole of our outer experience and to have His will be done in Earth is to have dominion over our thoughts and adaptation to God.  How do we make our will, God’s will?

When we ask God to send the right people at the right time into our lives, we have to be open to accepting those people He sends to us.  We must keep an open mind, because at first glance, they may not seem like the right people for us.

We must be patient with what may seem like a poor idea or mistakes we sometimes make when trusting God.  We have to be more forgiving and tolerant of other people, we must also show this tolerance to ourselves.  Once the mistake is over, rectify it and put it in the past.  Take care of the business at hand.  Forgive those who have wronged you and wipe the slate clean.  God does this for us, He never does anything halfway.   We have to follow His example.

So, the first lesson I AM gives in training our ‘will’ is in making us meet Him halfway.  Once we complete the series of disciplines that Source is working on with us, then we will see that He goes all the way with us.

  • See that your intention is right and God will look after the result.
  • Glenn Clark tells us to say out loud 20 times: I will to will the WILL of God.  Repeating it 20 times helps it to vibrate into the subconscious mind.  The first will is the man will, the third is the God will, and the second is the will-in-action.
  • Once the first and last wills come into perfect alignment, they will bring forth that will which manifests itself in action.

This resolution, when made with clear intent, will set you on high places if your feet are as the hind’s.

Meditation:

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass (Ps. 37:5).

Prayer:  (from St. Ignatius Loyola)

Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my whole will.  All that I am, all that I have, Thou hast given me, and I will give it back again to Thee to be disposed of according to Thy good pleasure.  Give me only Thy love and Thy grace; with Thee I am rich enough, nor do I ask for aught besides.
