What is a miracle? Course in miracles
A miracle is a correction
It does not create nor really change at all. It merely
Looks on devastation and reminds the mind that what it sees is false, it undoes error, but does not attempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of foegiveness. Thus it stays within times limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and loves awakening
For fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it brings.
A miracle contains the gift of grace, for it is given and received as one. And thus it illustrates the law of truth the world does not obey, because it falls entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts perception which was upside down before and thul it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified.
Forgivenes is the home of miracles the eyes of christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love. Perception stands corrected in his sight, and what was mean to curse has come to bless. Each Lilly of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the word of God upon the universal altar to creator and creation in the light of perfect purity and endless joy.
The miracle is taken first on faith, becausew to ask for it implies the mind has been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will bring witness to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it, and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before,
And a world redeemed from what you thought was there.
Miracles fall like drops of healing rain from heaven
On a dry dustry world where starved and thirsty creatures come to die now they have water, now the world is green, and everywhere the signs of life spring up
To show that what is born can never die
For what has life has immortality.
