We are a miracle.
“Miracles are natural. When they do not occur something has gone wrong.”
If I had to choose one word to sum up the month of February, it’s “unexpected.” From unexpected travel, to unexpected transitions of life, I found myself surrendering my well-intentioned plans to the Divine more than once. And this was not without some resistance.
But when I did accept what was in the moment, that surrender gave way to deep presence. And that’s when it happened. That’s when I began to notice the miracles — divinely-timed words of affirmation, generational nudges towards possibility, signs and synchronicities that lit my right path.
As we pursue the highest expression of our being in this lifetime, the stakes of faith and trust grow taller. At this stage, or any stage for that matter, embracing the normalcy of miracles can at times feel confronting, and from the outside it can look like naivety.
But believing in the normalcy of miracles doesn’t lend itself to naivety at all. On the contrary, it’s one of the most courageous beliefs one can have. It demands that we intentionally move beyond our programming and cultivate a level of vulnerability and childlike wonder. A deconditioning must occur.
During a recent message from Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith at Agape International Spiritual Center, he called us to ask ourselves this question: “What good is here that I am not seeing right now?”
What a beautiful call to what is.
So, I constantly ask myself this question. It reminds me that we are free — supremely accountable to ourselves to be deeply present, to sharpen our vision so that we can embrace the miracle we’ve always been, in any moment. This is the gift of the Divine. This is the call.
