My thoughts* on ACIM Urtext Lesson 345 for 11 December 2023. Christ is Born Within Us as We Extend the Miracle

I offer only miracles today, for I would have them be returned to me.

* See the Love of God as your guide as you listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and you will “see” your blessings.

1. Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son.

* The miracle acknowledges both the Father and the Son.

²And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal.

* I totally desire God’s returns wherever else they “seem” to come from.

³Even here, it takes a form which can be recognized and seen to work.

⁴The miracles I give are given back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive.

* IF ONLY we would open our eyes to this understanding that ALL GOOD THINGS COME FROM GOD no matter who seems to bring it to us.

⁵Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs.

* There are only continued blessings of greater expression and understanding of God’s Love.

⁶But here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other gift that I can give.

* It is the witness that God IS through the complete forgiveness of separation found in the Atonement. In the miracle, we see Christ in all of Creation AND God’s Love thereby.

⁷Then let me give this gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the way that I must travel to remember You.

2. Peace to all seeking hearts today.

²The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world.

* The Light of Christ is the Light that brings peace and joy WITHOUT GUILT or SHAME.

³It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received.

* We want to offer the tired world the forgiveness that we have received and let it be renewed in the Light of God the Father.

(ACIM, W-345.1:1–2:3)
