Claim the moment

You can remember you are one with God right now.

Welcome to Daily Miracles, a running commentary on the 365 lessons of A Course in Miracles, an influential spiritual text from the 1970s. I am James Leroy Wilson and I invite you to join me as I go through this material for the first time.

Lesson 179 (Review)

God is but Love, and therefore so am I. (ACIM, W-179)

1. (167) There is one life, and that I share with God. (ACIM, W-179.1:1)

2. (168) Your grace is given me. ²I claim it now. (ACIM, W-179.2:1–2)

I don’t see A Course in Miracle to be about cosmology. The latest science suggests that time is just a construct and that there is only NOW.

Whether that’s true or not, all the blessings of life are attainable now by our own decision. We can accept grace now. We can be one with God now. We can feel love, joy, and peace now.

We don’t have to do anything except claim that we are who we are. You can claim the moment now. Maybe you will forget to claim it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t claim it again.

Much of our experience is about forgetting who we are, but we can then remember who we are. Grace is eternal, and always available to us.
