Choosing Miracles

by Rev. Colleen Mc Nally

During this last week, I was experiencing some deep emotion that I identified as guilt and grief. As I experienced this I wondered how I could ever resolve this conflict. At the time it seemed that there was no resolution. I experienced a shift when I realized that I can choose peace.

It really struck me when I read the words, “We can seek the peace of God.” (POL Course 901, p.37) It was like a bolt of lightning hit me. Of course, “I can choose peace.” I have come more and more to realize the importance of what I choose in my work as a Miracles Practitioner. Jesus tells me, “As you decide so will you see.” T-12.VII 11:8

I keep telling myself, “I can always choose. I choose peace. I choose love. I choose to see through the lens of God’s Light now.” (Remember Card, course 901)

I remember my choices and the importance of choosing. What also struck me was coming to understand how my thought that I could not resolve this conflict myself really showed me my ego in action. And these words brings this home to me, “If we think we have a special problem that cannot be resolved, we are insisting on believing in lack or vulnerability in that situation. In truth, these beliefs that we are lacking in some way are coming from the false ego mind.” (901, p.41)

This awareness was very powerful. I am reminded to continually ask myself if I am listening to the Voice of God or to the voice of ego. This experience and this learning was an illuminating moment for me. What a moment of recognizing my insanity. “Diving into forgetting our Identity does not make it real. Inside each of us is a call to return to the Love we still are. Inside each of us is the Voice for God, who can lead us out of this insane dream. Inside each of us is our true value.” (901, p.6)

For me, it is truly a miracle, to understand and perceive this situation in a new way, to ask and to receive the miracle. In this, I return to sanity, to truth, and to love. What a blessing! “As we remember that miracles return us to the Truth of our Identity as Love in the Mind of God, we see that this action to remembering our Reality as Love is the answer to all our perceived problems, because all our problems are coming from our own minds and nowhere else.” (901, p.41)

This brings me to ask again, “Holy Spirit, what do you want of me? My life is what you want, not what I want. I open my self to hear your VOICE.”
