THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER

In all our giving at this time and even throughout the year it is to give
lovingly of the Christ-self that blesses and encourages others, for thus we
emulate the Christ in our giving, and we have the joy of knowing that out

of all the gifts we can offer we have given the best that can be given.
Paul says, “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen.” This is seen where the Christ-self is freed from the bondage
of the personal self that hides It. Then faith has tremendous power, and is

equal to every demand that I make upon it.
Faith is always active where there is Love, Peace, Wisdom, joy,
courage, strength and all the qualities of the Christ-self within, and as you

receive Christ so shall you walk with him in Love and Faith that comes
from knowing all that is false. “Let us love one another: for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” l John 4: 7.

“I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong
and of a good courage.” Josh. 1: 5-6.
Then do what it says in Hebrews 10: 22: “Draw near with a true

heart.”
How shall we know that our heart is true? Only by seeing the false
that we have accumulated through the self and when this is seen free from
fear, condemnation or criticism, then in this freedom we will find that which is

true in our own hearts. Therefore my prayer for today is the joy that comes
from the knowing of the birth of the Christ in all who can look at the Cross
and be free; the Cross that holds within it the bondage of the self. Yes, I may be

crucified upon it but in that crucifixion I am freed through the Christ that
dwells within.
In the past I have declared my faith in God, I have acknowledged
Him as the Source of all good things. Nevertheless I now see that I have had

merely a limited conception of God, I have pictured Him far away beyond
my immediate reach. But now I find that in my own heart He dwells, He
is the Christ that liveth forever. I now see that I can never be separated

from Him for I am His Son. Now I rejoice in the greatest gift that can ever
be bestowed upon man, “my Father and I are one.”
Today, this Christmas Day, let the world rejoice that the Christ is

born, Christ born in me, in you, born in every heart. The Livingness of
God, the Perfectness of Himself is embodied in all that He has created.
In my heart, in your heart and in the heart of all there is that Christ,
