A Course in Miracles teaches us that our relationships with our fellow human beings offer us the possibility of salvation. In every encounter with have with a fellow human being there is an opportunity for healing because there is an opportunity to love. Love is the healer.
I used to think it was no big deal to withhold love, kindness and compassion. I nursed my hurts and nurtured my resentments and held everything against everyone including myself. I missed millions of opportunities for healing. I didn’t care. I thought it didn’t matter whether or not I took advantage of my opportunities.
Now, I do wish that I’d smartened up sooner. However, I’m so darn grateful that I eventually got to wake up and smell the spiritual coffee that I now treasure so much.
If you see someone who is squandering their opportunities to be kind and compassionate say a prayer for them. Perhaps they’re like me. They just need a few more prayers before they decide to wake up! When you pray for them, you pray for yourself and salvation surrounds us all!
Affirmation:
I AM an opportunity for Love to reveal and heal!
