A Year of Miracles: Daily Devotions and Reflections (The Marianne Williamson Series)

by Marianne Williamson

DAY 285

Love always gives the loving response—but sometimes the loving response is “no.”

Love is not weakness, but strength. It gives us clarity, wisdom, and astuteness about people.

It gives us intuitive gifts that help us discern situations we might not...

DAY 286

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it.

I cannot cover an attack with sugary icing, a sweet tone of voice, or therapeutic jargon and expect a miracle. For that, I need an authentic switch from fear to love. I pray today for the ability to honor the spiritual perfection in everyone, that they might feel my love no matter what I say.

DAY 287

Wherever I see myself as having been victimized, I tie myself to the experience of victimization.

DAY 288

DAY 289

DAY 290

DAY 291

DAY 292

I realize no gift is too large or too small to be used for divine purposes, to bring joy to someone, to help bring healing somewhere. I do not underestimate the magnitude of my gifts today. Through God, their potential for good is infinite.

DAY 293

possibilities. I am fully loved, fully blessed, and fully of use to God at all times.

DAY 294

There is enough for everyone. There is enough room for everyone to be beautiful. There is enough room for everyone to be successful. There is enough room for everyone to be loved. I generously wish for others what I most wish for myself, for what I bless in their lives I will allow into my own.

DAY 295

DAY 296

In fact, it’s my love and defenselessness that provide me with divine protection. My love attracts my greater good.

Love gives me strength. It guides me to clearer thinking, more meaningful reflections, a kinder way of being, and a more attractive personality. It opens me to a creative flow. It is the key to my success in life, and the source of my inspiration.

With every thought I think, I have the opportunity to extend the force that blesses all things.

DAY 297

DAY 298

I take a step back today with my personality, that I might more clearly reflect His gentleness and love. As I step back, He leads the way for me to follow.

DAY 299

Dear God, Post angels around my mind today, To remind me of love And protect me from fear. May Your light surround each person I see And show itself to me. Amen.

DAY 300

Love floods our nervous system with positive energy, making us far more attractive to prospective friends and associates.

DAY 301

I know the universe is set up to support me in becoming my fully actualized self. Whether the lesson is easy or the lesson is challenging, I will see each moment as my chance to grow. This way I will learn what love is, and I will learn who I am.

DAY 302

I cannot know what will happen tomorrow, or what would be best to occur in my life. I will not try to control my destiny. I surrender my future into the hands of God. I need not struggle to make things happen, and I need not plan how my life will unfold. I need only respond to the invitation of each moment, to show up fully in excellence and love. Thus shall I be guided by life itself, and delivered to my greater good.

DAY 303

DAY 304

DAY 305

DAY 306

It is neither co-dependent nor sacrificial to love others as I love myself. Rather, it is the hallmark of enlightenment. Today I seek to love more deeply than I have loved before, that I might know the joy of using my mind for the purpose it was created to serve.

DAY 307

Today I will receive more fully the love that is there, no longer demanding that it come in a form I think I would prefer. Today I am grateful for the love I receive.

DAY 308

The only way to truly love ourselves is to open our hearts to each other.

DAY 309

DAY 310

DAY 311

The price I pay for not taking full responsibility for my life is an inability to change it. God Himself resides in my mind, empowering me to change any circumstance by remembering to love. Today I will use the power I am given, to heal my life by loving the people who are in it.
