Weekly Newsletter: Forgiveness Miracles

10/18/2016

0 Comments

 
     When we think of miracles, we usually think of the setting aside of a natural law in order for some supernatural event to happen. When someone is diagnosed as terminally ill with only weeks or days to live, we offer prayers for healing, and if that person recovers, we might claim the result was a miracle. But, what about the everyday miracles that occur because of the power of forgiveness?
     The strongest spiritual force is love, but the second most powerful force is forgiveness. These two forces work together to allow our world to move forward toward a greater spirituality, a deeper faith, and a more peaceful world. In fact, where there is no forgiveness, miracles are scarce. In the book, A Course in Miracles, it states that only forgiveness offers miracles.
     Jesus implied that it was easier to heal the body than to forgive sins.[1] I’m not proposing that doctors and surgeons give up the stethoscope and preach forgiveness. I’m not saying that any or all physical illnesses can be healed through forgiveness. But, I do believe that many spiritual illnesses can cause physical sickness and disease, and that by healing through forgiveness, we can live a happier and healthier life.
     Forgiveness provides us with little miracles on a regular basis. Forgiveness also sets aside the law of an-eye-for-an eye, tit-for-tat, and allows us to move out of the rut of hatred, anger, and retaliation, and into peace love, and harmony.
