Day Five
What is a miracle?
“There is no order of difficulty in miracles.
One is not ‘harder’ or ‘bigger’ than another. They are all the same. All
expressions of love are maximal. ACIM T-1.I:1-4
This is the first of 50 miracle principles and
it is a humdinger.
A miracle is a choice we make in our mind. It
has nothing to do with external things. A miracle is a choice for God instead
of the ego. A miracle is a choice for Love instead of guilt and fear.
When we consider that we have this choice in our
decision making mind, we come to understand that sorting out of our problems
are very simple. Love or fear. In making this choice, there is no order of
difficulties. The principle suggests the difficulties are not really harder or
easier, or bigger or smaller, or
worse or better. Difficulties simply indicate that we have made the
wrong choice.
Do you want to live your life as a victim or as
an extension of God’s Love?
Choose.
One of the key ideas in A Course In Miracles is
“forgiveness” which means the willingness to give up making other people and
things responsible for your unhappiness. Jesus says as He is being crucified,
“Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” I imagine He said this
with a laugh.
Most of us these days, are not going to be
crucified, but sometimes we may think and feel as if we are. We should never
forget that we have the power to change our minds about who and what it is that
we think we are.
Today remind yourself, “I am not a victim. I am an extension of God’s love.” This choice is the miracle.
