"Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense, everything that comes from love is a miracle"
About this Quote
The subtext is therapeutic and strategic: stop hunting for external signs and start treating your capacity to love as the sign. “Occur naturally” is a pressure release valve; it insists that grace isn’t rare or gatekept by institutions, but available through ordinary human choice. That’s also a democratizing move with a whiff of gentle rebellion against religious authority: you don’t need a priest, a proof, or a perfect life to access the miraculous. You need to participate in love.
Context matters here. Williamson’s work, steeped in A Course in Miracles and the broader self-help spirituality of late-20th-century America, is aimed at readers who feel alienated from traditional doctrine but still hungry for meaning. Calling love “the real miracle” validates emotional experience as spiritual evidence. It’s persuasive because it dignifies mundane acts - forgiveness, patience, showing up - with transcendent stakes, turning personal ethics into a kind of cosmic drama without demanding you suspend disbelief.
