Day 308

Today's Lesson:

This instant is the only time there is.

I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time is for. Time's purpose cannot be to keep the past and future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from time is now. For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And love is ever-present, here and now.

Thanks for this instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the time You have appointed for Your Son's release, and for salvation of the world in him.

Miracles I'm noticing:

It's interesting that today's lesson comes on the day Daylight Saving Time ends in most of Europe and North America. So theoretically, we get another hour of time and lose that hour in the spring, when we try to add an hour of daylight to our spring.

What a funny concept, when you really think about it. And it used to be that two states, Indiana and Arizona, didn't elect to play by those rules, which proves that this theory of time is just made up.

Today's lesson reminds us that this instant is really the only time we have anyway. We can choose forgiveness in an instant, and theoretically change the future for ourselves. The decisions we make in any given instant, will alter our future, but they will do it NOW, when we make the decision. There is no need to wait for someday - because that someday can begin at any instant.

So today's miracle is the knowledge that I can alter my world in this instant - and this instant constitutes the only time that matters.
