\"\"<\/a>The miracle isn\u2019t getting what it is you think you are praying for, a miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love. \u00a0Nothing changes your loving makes the change.\u00a0<\/span>Faith and Love practiced in the present bring us into the miracle of our days. Life’s gifts arrive as they are needed with the closest available resource. if it hasn’t arrived yet it isn’t time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As\u00a0<\/span>Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr shares n<\/i><\/span>othing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we are saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we are saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own; therefore, we are saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

You can have faith in love, right now. \u00a0You can love today like you have never loved before. You can love more in this moment than the next, more than you did yesterday, you can stretch your loving vision and action right now. \u00a0Life is here for us to enjoy and experience and grow in the present moment, open and full of all the possibilities that are quantum and numinous in each moment.<\/p><\/div>\n

Love leads us, love guides us and love opens doors into realms within realms.<\/p>\n

Allow life’s wonderful miracles to flow as we are all saved by love and in loving and sharing that love all things renew in a never ending cycles of growth and rebirth.
\n<\/span>
\nAs Babyface wrote “There’s a place inside all of us where our faith in love begins. \u00a0Reach to find the truth in love, the answer is there within. \u00a0I know sometimes it makes you feel, it is much harder than it really is…<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t give in.<\/i><\/span>
\n<\/i><\/span>
\nCall on me, I will be there.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t be afraid.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Please believe me, when I say.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Count on, Count on, You can Count on, Me..<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ae2iX6vZCoM<\/a><\/p>\n

Great song. Truthful message. \u00a0<\/span>In setting the stage for what’s ahead in calling on our faithfulness with compassion for ourselves and the loving a<\/span>ctions required you will be fueled by exactly what appears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We need another standard to measure our actions, and I think that standard is faithfulness.” Listen to some expanding thoughts here. Ask the questions. \u00a0Be in Service. Experience what is.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>As How can I be of service?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In our faithfullness that gifts are always flowing we can have faith in Miracles with gratitude for what is. Let go of outcomes and results. Live in the greatness of possibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

May we all find peace in our faith filled imaginations, full of hope to remain present to love today and everyday and watch the happy, joyful miracles unfold.<\/p>\n
