If you want to live a life of unlimited joy, follow these simple Atonement steps based on teachings from A Course in Miracles. (Do try this at home!) Learn how to surrender to your Higher Power and live to laugh about it. Through application, discover that healing and forgiveness are identical. When repressed fears rise to the surface, recognize that “problems” are really forgiveness opportunities. Give them to the Light. Only your willingness is necessary.  Our forgiveness is our healing. Our forgiveness is sent forth to bless people whose current circumstances resemble those we formerly judged. We get to see our old storylines from the Christ point of view. That's how we know we are healed. It is a miracle. It's a testimony to the Love of God. There are Miracle workers blessing you every day. You will be given as much help as you are willing to receive. Your part will unfold in miraculous ways that you can't plan because you can't see the Whole. By allowing your mind to return to the wholeness of love, you will be available to serve the whole. You will be an instrument of blessing for the world. Wait, listen, and follow. You are on a Mission from God. You cannot fail because of Who is in Charge. Only your willingness is necessary and only what Unlimited Love would have you do is possible. – writes Pamela Valeria interviews Pamela Whitman.
