Giving and Receiving Miracles

I offer only miracles today, for I would have them be returned to me.

Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. ²And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal. ³Even here, it takes a form which can be recognized and seen to work. ⁴The miracles I give are given back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. ⁵Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. ⁶But here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other gift that I can give. ⁷Then let me give this gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the way that I must travel to remember You.

Peace to all seeking hearts today. ²The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. ³It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received. (A Course in Miracles, W-345. See also ACIM Lesson 345 Insights.)

The foundation of a miracle is true forgiveness. Forgiveness opens the door to let the Light of Love show us the Reality of Love’s Presence beyond appearances in the world. It lights our mind with the truth as it lights the minds of all our brothers.

It is called a miracle because it so transforms our vision that the ego’s obstacles to Love disappear. Where there was fear, Love’s Reality is revealed. Sadness is replaced by happiness. Loneliness yields to peace of mind in the unity of the Love.

Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our mistaken beliefs and accept the gifts of miracles.

We Live in God’s Love

I have already chosen what You will.

Father, I thought I wandered from Your Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. ²Yet what I am in truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. ³This am I, and this will never change. ⁴As You are One, so am I one with You. ⁵And this I chose in my creation, where my will became forever one with Yours. ⁶That choice was made for all eternity. ⁷It cannot change, and be in opposition to itself. ⁸Father, my will is Yours. ⁹And I am safe, untroubled and serene, in endless joy, because it is Your Will that it be so.

Today we will accept our union with each other and our Source. ²We have no will apart from His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared by all of us. ³Through it we recognize that we are one. ⁴Through it we find our way at last to God. (A Course in Miracles, W-329. See also ACIM Lesson 329 Insights.)

Accepting our oneness with all Creation is the key to finding peace and joy. All conflict and lack disappears. As conflicting differences disappear, we remember that our Father shares all that He is with all of Creation. We live in His Love. His happiness is ours. We know that we are forever safe in His sure protection.

Today we are grateful that we have chosen to accept the fact that God’s Will is ours.

Remembering Our Father’s Gifts

Steady our feet, our Father. ²Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. ³We have no words to give to You. ⁴We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. ⁵Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. ⁶Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.

So do we bring our practicing to You. ²And if we stumble, You will raise us up. ³If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. ⁴We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. ⁵Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. (A Course in Miracles, W-rV.in.2:1–3:5)

This prayer reflects an attitude that is helpful for us to welcome the Guidance of the Holy Spirit, our true Self, our Father. It expresses our heart’s desire to find our way back to the Home we thought we left because of a mistaken wish for specialness. It reminds us that our Father is ever present to guide us and protect us, no matter how far we may believe we have wandered off. We are safe.

With this willingness to accept His help, our mind is open to be guided. We _want_ to remember that we remain Love as Love created us. We _want_ to remember our Father’s strength, which he gives without limit.

We are grateful for His comfort, which surrounds us and embraces us. We are grateful that our Father shares with us His peace and joy without limit.

Awakening to Our Life in God

Perception is consistent. ²What you see reflects your thinking. ³And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see. ⁴Your values are determiners of this, for what you value you must want to see, believing what you see is really there. ⁵No one can see a world his mind has not accorded value. ⁶And no one can fail to look upon what he believes he wants.

Fear has made everything you think you see. ²All separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you believe make up the world. ³They are not there. ⁴Love’s enemy has made them up. ⁵Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no being and no consequence. ⁶They can be valued, but remain unreal.

It is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. ²Seek for the one; the other disappears. ³But one remains. ⁴They are the range of choice beyond which your decision cannot go. ⁵The real and the unreal are all there are to choose between, and nothing more than these.

⁵It is impossible to see two worlds. ⁶Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this world, that I may find my freedom and deliverance.

God will be there. ²For you have called upon the great unfailing power which will take this giant step with you in gratitude. ³Nor will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth. (A Course in Miracles, W-130.1;4:1-6;5;8:5–9:3. See also ACIM Lesson 130 Insights.)

The ego’s goal is not to support life. In fact it wants us dead, the ultimate ‘proof’ that it has successfully separated from our Creator. But all this is just a nightmare populated with images of attack and defend, lack and loss. When we awaken from dreams, we clearly see that nothing which appeared to happen in the dream had any effect on our awakened state.

We have been given the means to awaken from our dreams of weakness and vulnerability. The Holy Spirit is ever-present in our mind to help us let go of our mistaken identification with the ego. When we are willing to accept His help, all the strength of God supports us to see past the dream images to the eternal presence of Love.

The Light of Love dispels the ego’s dark shadows to reveal the our eternal oneness with our Creator and all creation. We awaken to the Life we live in God.

Bringing Messages of Love to the World

The Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice, and hear Your Word through me. ²I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would use no words but Yours, and have no thoughts which are apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. ³I would be savior to the world I made. ⁴For having damned it I would set it free, that I may find escape, and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today.

We teach today what we would learn, and that alone. ²And so our learning goal becomes an unconflicted one, and possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment. ³How gladly does the Holy Spirit come to rescue us from hell, when we allow His teaching to persuade the world, through us, to seek and find the easy path to God. (A Course in Miracles, W-296.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 296 Insights.)

We imprison the world when we choose to believe separation is real. That choice denies the reality of Love. It conjures a world of separate bodies with perception limited to senses which cannot perceive reality.

But there is a Voice in our mind whose mission it is to teach us of our unlimited Reality. As we let this Voice direct our thoughts and actions, we become messengers of Love in a dream where Love has been denied. The messages we are given are first directed to ourselves. We learn that the Love the messages speak of is our own as we share them with our brothers.

Today we choose to bring messages of Love to the world, for we would learn that we are united with all Creation in that Love.

Embracing All in Love’s Oneness

I am as God created me.

This single thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. …⁴These words are sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the world you made.

Here is the Word by which the Son became his Father’s happiness, His Love and His completion. ²Here creation is proclaimed, and honored as it is. ³There is no dream these words will not dispel; no thought of sin and no illusion which the dream contains that will not fade away before their might.

Holy indeed is he who makes these words his own; arising with them in his mind, recalling them throughout the day, at night bringing them with him as he goes to sleep. ²His dreams are happy and his rest secure, his safety certain and his body healed, because he sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. (A Course in Miracles, W-162.1:1,4;2:1-3;3:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 162 Insights.)

This simple statement says a lot. First it reminds us that Love is what created us because God is nothing but Love. It also reminds us that we are united with all Reality, because Love is one and cannot be divided.

It also tells us that because Love can never be divided, we remain one with our Creator. This is why this one Thought dispels all illusions, for they are based on the idea of separation. Separation cannot be real because we are as God created us, one with all as God’s one Son.

Learning to Recognize Our Unity in Love

My sight goes forth to look upon Christ’s face.

I ask Your blessing on my sight today. ²It is the means which You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes, and look beyond them. ³It is given me to find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me, and through His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. ⁴I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. ⁵Today I choose to see a world forgiven, in which everyone shows me the face of Christ, and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me; that nothing is, except Your holy Son.

Today our sight is blessed indeed. ²We share one vision, as we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours. ³We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God; of Him Who is our own Identity. (A Course in Miracles, W-269. See also ACIM Lesson 269 Insights.)

In the ego’s dream, we perceive everything as separate. Thus the oneness of Love is hidden behind a veil of separation. We have taught ourselves to believe what we see on the veil is our reality. But we are just seeing projections that represent what we believe.

We need to be taught how to look beyond the veil to the truth of Love that unites us with all Creation. Forgiveness offers us a new perception that looks beyond the images on the veil.

With true forgiveness, Christ vision sees beyond the images of bodies to the radiant Light of Love that is the truth in everyone. We recognize our unity in Love. We feel the blessing of the constant giving and receiving of Love which joins us with our Father and all of Creation.
