Christ Is in My Kitchen

by Rev. Michelle Rado, O.M.C.

God whispers to us subtly from beneath the constructs of our mind, and from a place deep within us that is whole and complete.

Our individual perception of others is actually a limitation, a limitation that we place on them from the limited viewpoint of our thinking mind. If we can allow our thinking mind to quiet for a little while and open our hearts to “feel” others instead of just think about them, the doorway opens for the Peace and Love that we actually are to flow into the Universe without restriction.

A Course in Miracles teaches us that what I see in you is a reflection of what I see in myself, and in order for me to find the Christ within me, I must first find it in you. But how can you look upon everything and everyone and see the face of Christ in a world that seemingly offers such an array of fearful images of death, destruction, competition, limit, lack and hate all spread among millions and millions of separate people and what if the person standing before you is irritating or worse, offensive to you?

If you can accept that we are not separate, but in fact we are one, and if you can accept that God is pure Love and therefore only extends Love, and you believe that God is your Source, your Creator, then you must accept that you are pure Love and that all others are also pure Love.

Okay, back to the question of human life, how can we see past the irritation or offensive behavior of another and see the face of Christ?

Ask yourself, if Christ were standing in my kitchen right now, how would I receive him? Now, imagine a world in which you receive everyone in this way. Then, imagine a world in which we all received one another as Christ.

Releasing Pain Through Forgiveness

I asked Holy Spirit to share with me what was important to my growth in that moment. I opened ACIM to T-30.VI and received an important lesson about forgiveness. After sitting with this teaching, I received the following inspiration:

Holding onto the pain is your way of confirming your unworthiness and guilt. As long as you “feel” pain, this is your indicator that you are choosing unworthiness.

Step 4. Trust the outcome of your faith is a win — win for all — A masterful work of Art from the loving Creator whose only purpose is the realization of your highest good.
