Day 92: Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.

Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.

A Course in Miracles asks us in today's meditation to take twenty minutes to "meet with" our inner-Light, our inner-Strength, which is the Son of God within us.  We are to do this once in the morning and once in the evening.

In my meditations today - my appointments with my Higher Self - I sat in stillness as I let the quiet Strength of God's Son come over me.  Our human eyes are blind to the Light of God, but we can reach it by going deep within ourselves.  The Strength of this Light is not one of aggression.  It does not carry with it a forcefulness, but something far more powerful - a sure and steady resolve.  As the Course says in today's lesson, "The light of strength is not the light you see.  It does not change and flicker and go out.  It does not shift from night to day, and back to darkness till the morning comes again."  The Light of Strength is invisible to the physical world, but if we close our eyes to look within, we can learn to recognize it.

Imagine, if you will, turning on a lamp in your bedroom.  As the light bulb grows brighter, it casts away the shadows effortlessly.  What once may have seemed like an endless expanse of darkness is revealed to be a small room, with a bed in one corner and a dresser in the other.  Perhaps small objects sit on the nightstand, trinkets of familiar comfort.  If we brighten the light, we can even see specks of dust floating in the air.  Our vision yields greater and greater detail the more we allow the light to fill the room.

The Light of God works in the same way.  It is Strength, for it allows us to See.  And to truly See is to bring forth the miracles once hidden among the shadows.  The miracles will give us comfort.  They will show us that their is nothing to fear.  The more we are able to harness our inner-Strength and brighten the glow of our Light, the more miracles will come to our awareness.

Let us remember this simple lessen then whenever we encounter those shadows lingering in the dark.  We need not be afraid, for the Light is always with us.  The Light and Strength are one and the same, and with it we may cast away the darkness without effort.  We will see past the shadows, in whatever form they may take, by simply turning on the Light.

Are you ready to flip the switch and allow your bulb to glow brightly?  All you need is the willingness to try.

Until tomorrow,
