We are living at a time when it is so clear to see that only miracles will heal this world. And we are also living at a time when it is important for those of us on a Spiritual path to remember that when we choose healing for ourselves, we also understand that is the only way the world will heal. In order to choose healing thoughts, we must first be aware that healing is a choice. This is the lesson that has been most recently coming for me via my personal experiences.
I have seen areas in my life where I am “struggling” with an issue or a relationship on this earth. I feel myself going to fear and I can feel myself moving into forgetfulness. As the Course shares, whenever we are not in joy, we have forgotten who we Truly are. This is why even just the awareness of pain (always from fear) is a gift and fundamental to healing. Because awareness, paired with calling on the power of the Holy Spirit to re-mind us, literally repairs (re-pairs) our minds, back to Truth and our Oneness in God. Back to Peace and Joy. And only from this space are we able to help heal the world...
We each have the power within us to heal ourselves and therein the world. The power is the power of God within each of us. When we call on love and forgiveness, we are allowing Spirit to work through us to help heal ourselves and this world. When we call on fear, we are allowing the ego (think edging God out) to work through us, creating more pain and fear in ourselves and in the world.
When we allow Spirit to use us as instruments of healing, we become the way miracles can be shared in this world. We are the angels our angels have been waiting for.
This prayer from A Course in Miracles is a beautiful way to re-mind yourself each day that you choose to serve as a miracle worker in this world:
I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Him who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
Let us choose love and miracles in every moment. And when we forget, let us choose to remember that we can choose again, with Spirit, and all is Truly well...
