Prayer has opened for me the door that leads back to God. Prayer is complete and whole Divine perfection. It’s something my heart, my spirit, my soul, and my mind yearn deeply for. As I choose by my own free will to come back to God, prayer, the perfect connection to God becomes as important, if not more important than eating.
In all of my life, I have never felt so close, so Loved by God. I'm grateful to know that at any moment, for any reason, I can be one with God through prayer. I've for most of my life, felt like I was visiting, like I was away from home but I never knew where that home was that I so yearned for. I do now know that the home I yearned for was my perfect home with God, my True Home. As the old saying goes “home is where the heart is.”
The A Course In Miracles, is a miracle to me. It has given me so much, more than words can say. I continue to expand my heart and open it more and more to the perfect unconditional Love of God. God is Love, perfect unconditional Love. That's all there is. That’s true reality, God's Love. Nothing real can be threatened; nothing unreal exists; herein lies the Peace of God. It took a while for my mind to wrap around this but once it did, I have not been the same person since then. That knowing saves me everyday in every moment of my life. It’s such a relief to know this.
I loved the idea of learning how to pray. That is something that if more people new how to do they would prey more often. God is so easy to talk to. It’s a relief to know that he gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit that already has a solution to every imaginable problem or issue out there that has been or will ever be. That’s just plain cool!!!
I am the Son of God, I am the Christ, how special that is and as I meditate on this truth more and more, it brings tears of Joy, Love, Peace, and amazing Comfort to my heart. I feel honored that this is who I am. I ask myself all the time, my decision maker, why on Earth did I choose to forget? Why did I choose the separation? Why did I choose to believe the lie that the separation is? How could I mislead myself so badly and put my faith in illusions? If I were going to believe in illusions why this one? The ULC Seminary - A Course in Miracles has a wonderful miracle that showed up in my life.
I feel so much love from God that I want to share this Love with all of mankind. I want to help all that I can to heal. Just that little bit of willingness is all it takes. It’s exhilarating to surrender my life, my heart, my soul, my mind, my will, all of me to God. The Christ Vision is something I pray for often to see the Christ in the face of all of my brothers and sisters on this planet, of all I meet, in every being. That I may be saved. The one solution to the one problem.
I am thankful for this course and all the many blessings it has brought into my life. With all of my Love and Gratitude. Blessed Be. - BY REV NAUNIE JO MADDOX
