"I bless the world because I bless myself....The truth maintains that giving will increase what you possess...Ideas must first belong to you, before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself....Give gladly. You can only gain thereby....Never forget you give but to yourself...Your blessing lies on everyone who suffers, when you choose to see all suffering as what it is.....Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value....No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself.

The lilies that your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely holiness? ..The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given away....And as we look with we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father's Love...Now we are blessed, and now we bless the world." (W187)

Welcome to 365 Days of Love and Miracles with Arlene Geres. Each day, we will read and discuss a lesson from the workbook of A Course in Miracles. This programme has transformed my life, as it has for thousands of others all over the world. If you practice the principles, it will work for you as well.
