“Miracles are healing because they supply a lack; they are performed by those who temporarily have more for those who temporarily have less. (A Course in Miracles, T3)”
Affirmation: “miracles. . .performed for those who temporarily have less”
Reflections:
We are asking for God’s blessing. In this we are like Jesus, who turned to his Father often during his ministry. “Peace” is seen as the great boon. Indeed, even now, most of us seek happiness with peace of mind as the greatest worldly blessings that can be bestowed on us.
Jesus speaks as an elder brother in A Course in Miracles, and he speaks in very comforting terms. We are to see him as our friend, and in A Course of Love, he resigns as our teacher and becomes our companion. We are equals in the sight of God, even though in ACIM we see him as an elder brother, who temporarily knows more and therefore is in a better position to aid us. Indeed, many of us are seen as temporarily having more than our brothers and sisters, but this not lessen our equality (an ACIM tenet). We are all One in the eyes of God.
Prayer:
Dear Father/Mother,
Help me to have patience with my brothers and sisters who temporarily have less, and therefore may treat me poorly. May I recognize anger and attack as the call for help that it really is. May I be there for my brothers and sisters, assuring that I love them no matter what.
May I feel no pride that sometimes I do recognize that I temporarily know more. Knowing more puts a responsibility on me to be especially kind and loving in the face of provocation. May I always feel You at my side, supporting me as I reach out to others.
Amen.
ACIM Workbook Lesson for Day 149:
My mind holds only what I think with God.
When I am healed I am not healed alone.
Heaven is the decision I must make.
