According to A Course In Miracles, a miracle is a shift in perception.  It reminds me of what Victor Frankl wrote in Man’s Search For Meaning, ” the last of the human freedoms-to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” I know if I am seeing life through the lens of fear I do not see anything fruitful or worth living through.  I find my attitude tainted and despite my best efforts it is hard to see the forest through the trees.  It is in those moments when swapping my perspective for God’s is called for.  It is the moment when as Casting Crowns sings, “There is a place where fear has to face the God you know.”  I am asking God to swap my thinking with God’s.  It can be in big and small ways and at no moment does God resist providing the miraculous perspective.  It often does not come until I reach a moment of feeling I have lost control.  No matter what I do, I am not able to swap my perspective with another one.  A perspective which allows me to see the gift of life in the smallest ways making love visible again. I turn to God with an outstretched hand which God directs to my heart.  The swapping from fear to love begins with a new breath.  In the breath from my heart, my eyes begin to open to a new perspective where I am not in this alone and I begin to remember the miracle of love present all around me.
