Study of Text, C 13: VIII. From Perception to Knowledge, P 7. 11-9-16

VIII. From Perception to Knowledge, P 7

7 Be you content with healing, for Christ’s gift you can bestow, and your Father’s gift you cannot lose. Offer Christ’s gift to everyone and everywhere, for miracles, offered the Son of God through the Holy Spirit, attune you to reality. The Holy Spirit knows your part in the redemption, and who are seeking you and where to find them. Knowledge is far beyond your individual concern. You who are part of it and all of it need only realize that it is of the Father, not of you. Your role in the redemption leads you to it by re-establishing its oneness in your mind.

Journal
God’s gift to me is Christ’s vision and I can bestow that gift to everyone and everywhere. This is what I am to do. I accept the Atonement for myself, and then I see with Christ’s vision. In doing so I offer miracles to those who seek them. To whom do I offer the miracle? That is not my concern. The Holy Spirit knows my part and who it is I am seeking. I just follow His lead.

Ask Him very specifically:
What would You have me do?

Where would You have me go? 

What would You have me say, and to whom?

Asking this is the way we agree to our part in the Atonement. It is our commitment to be a miracle worker.

Since this is my commitment, I realize that whoever is in my life today is there for me to share this holy instant. It may not be immediately evident to me, and often isn’t. But sometimes I am looking for change in my purse to pay the clerk and when I look up, I smile at her and her face lights up for just that moment.

The love that I am has connected with the love that she is. Maybe she doesn’t understand what just happened, and I likely I don’t understand the extent of what has happened, but it happened because I did my part. In that moment I used the gift of Christ’s vision and both of our minds were lightened. What happens next is not my concern.

Sometimes it is a word or two, or a teaching. Sometimes it is just my presence at the right moment. Sometimes it is the example I set as I react with love rather than defense. I have no way to know what is helpful in the moment, or who it is that is ready for the miracle. And believe me, love in any form is the miracle, the part that matters.

3 Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.

I have spent a long time learning what love is, and learning to release everything that is not love. In so doing, I have allowed purification and so miracles are my right, and they are my responsibility. What I have also learned is that it is a responsibility that I carry lightly. I need only stand ready to express love and where and how will be decided by the Holy Spirit and communicated to me in some way. The only thing that blocks this is ego thoughts I have not released. So I remain vigilant for those thoughts and ready to release them.
