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 159
I give the miracles I have received. (ACIM, W-159)
This is a statement of fact, not a command. You don't have to do anything. There are no obligations in giving; people-pleasing isn't giving. Maintaining a reputation for generosity isn't giving. A donation made out of a sense of guilt isn't a gift.
Every gift that I've received came from love, and only from love can I give anything. I can only give if I want to give.
And only love can produce miracles.
